Special teams coaching help

Hi. I am a rookie high school running backs football coach. I was just granted the opportunity to coach special teams; kick off and kick off return. I'm not too savy in this area. Can you send some ideas, x's and o's would be great. Thank you so much.

basically you have left and right returns. sometimes a middle. and you should be able to adjust will a signal if a kicker puts the ball to the wrong side of your pre kick call left or right.
the page above is all from my college days.
I was on all the special teams and knew them by heart after 3 years of tedious.

i guess the other things might betiming on punt by linemen and upbacks
1000 1 1000 2 1000 and gone.
punter should be 12 yards deep and use two steps only to kick.
try to kick away.
if you run the shotgun you might talk your coach into a sideways kick out of shotgun to make them play defense. We got a lot of good roles this way.
and of course how do you snap.
practice the center with left hand on top of head and right hand on top of ball
he shoots it over and over to practice. they do this at every level
