Jr Raider Football Introduction JR RAIDER FOOTBALL INTRODUCTION Our Key to success will be determined by the quality of coaching, players and tools we have in the program. We will operate the same base playbook from 3rd grade to 8th grade so that the players and coaches all grow together year over year. This results in players and coaches not having to start fresh each year learning / teaching a new system from scratch. They pick up where they left off continuing to grow providing more effective use of time in mastering practice and game planning. Our playbook offers evrything a team needs to be successful. However a playbook will not guarantee success. Teaching the fundamental techniques needed to be a good football player is the key to building a successful team. Working hard together mastering these techniques and building towards a common goal develops the winning attitude a team needs to be successful. Therefore our focus is a step by step process that evolves as the season moves along. Building confidence in each player that they have all the tools to be successful along withthe knowledge of how to properly use each tool is the foundation. This will lead to a stronger more confident team that will make less mental errors by slowly developing each player to succeed. We use three step progression - individual drills vs air, control mode vs opponent holding pad then advance to live phase of game. A program that skips the base steps and rushes to live play during practice will struggle. Our job as coaches is to have a keen eye on the details starting with the stance and start. Our players stance and first step is the most important step and this is where we star the development process. Our goal is to build a offensive playbook with each team from a base few plays. In order to be successful we must master the base plays before moving on to additional plays. Mastery involves the proper techniques needed at each position, understanding the attack point and assignments versus a variety of defensive formations. Defense will be based on sound gap responsibility up front, attack the ball and tackle. Each coach must identify the strengths and weaknesses within our team. Practice plan preparation will concentrate on improving weaknesses. Every set of players is different and spending time with your players that need the most help is the key. Players that are prepared well, integrated into a team effort and cut down on mistakes have great chance to succeed. Most important in the playbook is the language coaches must speak that is consistent through all levels. We want to use the same terminology so that we all can talk and understand each other. We dont want to teach new language and new plays each year. Less is more with the players and single word commands carry more weight than lengthy over worded lectures. The Jr Raiders have a long history of success from the start in 1992. We want to carry that history and build on it so that our players enter high school with a solid football background founded in fundamentals and winning attitude. 1 JR RAIDERS OFFENSE PHILOSOPHY - The first phase is to establish a base running game that will attack the defense in many ways. Before adding additional plays the base running game must be perfected at all positions. Only then additional plays will be added that will look different but the base philosophy, language and fundamentals will be the same. The next phase will be to add plays that will counter defenses over playing base plays. These plays will include traps, counters and play action passes. At the advanced level (skylands & Patriot Varsity) once base plays are perfected then we will add different personell groups that will allow us to use the same or similar plays from multiple sets. The most important aspect of offense is to install the fundamentals, techniques, language and teamwork with the offensive line. As players grow through divisions the playbook will expand and coaches will be allowed to expand beyond the base package. Most important is the Attitude and Effort Level players learn. A player thet has the effort and attitude is more valuable than a player this jus highly skilled. This is driven by coaches who require high level of effort and attitude from his players. Quarterback - Must be a leader willing and able to communicate and command the offense as a unit. This individual must know the most about all aspects of the offense. This individual must also have a great understanding of the philosophy and situational play needed to operate during the game. PERSONNEL GROUPS: The personnel groups identify which group of players is in the huddle: 1. Power - 3 Backs, 2 Tight Ends 2. Pair - 2 Backs, 2 Tight Ends, 1 Wide Receiver 3. Pro - 2 Backs, 1 Tight End, 2 Wide Receivers 4. Ace - 1 Back, 1 Tight End, 3 Wide Receivers PLAY CALLS: The play call will have 2 - 3 stages. First is Personnel Group, Second formation and motion / shift if any, Third is the play, Fourth is the pass protection. QB Must pause at each stage for clarity. Each position gets its alignment and assignment from different phase of call. For example O-Line only listens for the play or protection. RB's Needs formation, play or protection. Examples: 1. Pair (personnel) / Right Brown (formation) / 44 Lead (play). 2. Power / Left / 23 Dive. 3. Pair / Right Blue / 345 Bootleg Right Advanced: 3. Pro / Slot Right Weak Zoom / 49 Sweep 4. Ace / Flood Left / Smash T-7 / Max 2 JR RAIDERS OFFENSE (CONT'D) CADENCE Patriot Pee Wee and JV ON ONE - SET - DOWN - HUT ON TWO - SET - DOWN - HUT - HUT ON THREE - SET - DOWN - HUT HUT - HUT ADVANCED - Patriot Varsity and Skylands ON COLOR - DOWN - BLUE (ANY COLOR) ON ONE - DOWN - COLOR NUMBER (BLUE 80) - COLOR NUMBER HUT ON TWO - DOWN COLOR NUMBER - COLOR NUMBER HUT HUT ON RAIDER (SNAP ON FIRST SOUND AFTER ANY INDICATOR) - DOWN - GO GO - RED - 15 - HUT - RAIDER - HUT QB WILL CALL PLAY AND SNAP COUNT TWICE IN HUDDLE - AFTER FIRST CALL CENTER AND RECEIVERS CAN LEAVE HUDDLE AFTER SECOND CALL QB WILL SAY "READY" AND ALL WILL SAY "BREAK' WITH CLAP OF HANDS AND MOVE QUICKLY TO LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. HUDDLE : CENTER WILL CALL HUDDLE 8 YARDS FROM BALL FACING BALL, LINEMAN IN FRONT HANDS ON KNEES, BACKS IN MIDDLE BEHIND LINE, WR AND TE ON END BEHIND LINE. QB IN FRONT FACING AWAY FROM BALL. PASS PROTECTION: THE BASE PROTECTION IS MAX PROTECTION. THIS SHOUD BE USED AT ALL LEVELS FOR 3 STEP DROP QUICK THROWS. IN ADDITION MAX WILL BE USED FROM SHOTGUN AT ALL LEVELS. WE DO NOT USE A 5 STEP PASS DROP WITH OUR QUARTERBACKS. 1. MAX PROTECTION - ALL LINEMAN STEP TOWARDS CENTER. THIS IS GAP PROTECTION NOT MAN PROTECTION. 2. SPRINT PROTECTION - SAME AS MAX EXCEPT EVERYONE STEPS TOWARDS SRPINT DIRECTION. 3. PLAY ACTION - 300 SERIES ARE BOOTLEG PASSES (EXAMPLE 344 BOOTLEG LEFT). 100 SERIES ARE PLAY ACTION TO THE SIDE OF THE FAKE (EXAMPLE 147 BLAST PASS) 4. Bear Protection - Two backs in protection TE releases into route. 5. Tiger Protection - 1 back and TE in 3 WR release into Route 6. Empty Protection - Only interior line in protection. SITUATIONS TO BE PRACTICED: 1. 2 MINUTE CLOCK MANAGEMENT - NO HUDDLE - GET OUT OF BOUNDS IF POSSIBLE 2. NO TIME OUTS - NO HUDDLE - TWO PLAYS CALLED IN HUDDLE OR PLAY CALLED AT LINE. 3. KILL THE CLOCK - NO HUDDLE SPIKE THE BALL - STAY IN BOUNDS KEEP CLOCK RUNNING. 4. VICTORY FORMATION (POWER PERSONNEL) WITH BACKS BEHIND GUARDS AND TB DEEP) - QB TAKES A KNEE TO RUN OUT CLOCK. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF QB WRISTBANDS TO GET THE PLAY S IN QUICKER. 3 OFFENSIVE BASICS AND PERSONNEL GROUPS Hole and Back POWER Numbering.

  • SIMPLE SPREAD PASS: Fast & Free Case 5 – Fast Tempo and Free Back Release Concepts
    X&O Labs Article – March 17, 2018 SIMPLE SPREAD PASS: Fast & Free Case 5 – Fast Tempo and Free Back Release Concepts 9th Grade Assistant Coach State College High School, PA Instructor in Kinesiology @ Penn State University INTRODUCTION: In 1991 when we started running no huddle flex-bone, we incorporated run & shoot pass concepts into our offensive system. We researched and studied Georgia Southern Universities “Ham-bone” that had won 2 national championships under the QB Tracy Ham and HFC Erk Russell. In 1997 we started running no huddle multiple pro @ Aurora University (D3 playoff team) where we researched and studied legendary HFC Bill Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers West Coast Offense. In 2002 we combined both run & shoot concepts with west coast using a multiple spread offense to be fast @ Luther College (D3 #1 in plays per game average and #5 total offense – 2006). In 2017 we then incorporated Penn State’s free back release concepts along with our evolved spread pass game using fast tempo (simple communication with sound cover beating pass concepts). This article will show you What-Why-How to incorporate and teach 1 back spread pass with fast tempo combined with free release back concepts – simple and sound, yet fast – free and FUN! WHAT 1. Use core run & shoot concepts combined with west coast pass concepts 2. Use simple “911” tempo and communication 3. Compliment core pass game with free release back concepts – using simple QB read progression WHY 1. We want to attack coverages with concepts and do it fast (so the picture does not change) 2.

  • Creating a Highly Reliable Organization Resilience
    2017–2018 JOHNS HOPKINS BAYVIEW NURSING ANNUAL REPORT Creating a Highly Reliable Organization Resilience. Integrity. Trust. Respect. Collaboration. Dear Colleagues, In this year’s Nursing Annual Report, I am happy to share with you 20 stories of our growth toward Creating a Highly Reliable Organization. These stories of resourcefulness, creativity and problem-solving demonstrate the vital role that our nurses play in the accomplishments of the Medical Center. These reports fall into a few broad themes: our identity as nurses; Lean management in action; technology in health care; and improving patient safety and satisfaction. You will find, however, that many of the articles address elements of all of these important ideas. Implementing significant process improvement projects such as these is a long and complex effort. In fact, some of these nurse-led initiatives spanned over several years, and have made a great difference in the clinical outcomes of our patients. Our nurses from every level of leadership were tasked with contributing to this report. Each narrative that you will read started with an “A3” problem, identified by staff on our units. In Lean management principles, A3 is a structured problem-solving and continuous improvement approach that breaks down large problems into smaller steps. I marvel at the way our staff took small steps to address large problems this past year—patient safety, infection rates, staff morale, communication failures, confusing workflows—and then measured their success using data. Working at the executive level, I spend most days thinking about strategic ideas, initiatives and issues that impact Johns Hopkins Bayview at a macro level.

  • PEE-WEE FLAG FOOTBALL and FLAG BOWL 2014 GUIDELINES (Updated 8/13/14)
    PEE-WEE FLAG FOOTBALL AND FLAG BOWL 2014 GUIDELINES (Updated 8/13/14) Coin Toss Start of the Game 1) The referee will flip the coin with the away team choosing heads or tails. The winning call will determine either a) Ball, or b) Direction 2) The losing call will determine the other option. 3) Start of the second half. The teams will switch directions and the team that started on defense is now on offense. There is no decision that needs to be made by coaches at half time. Playing Time / Timekeeping 1) All kids must play a minimum of 4 plays per half. Failure to play kids 4 plays will result as a game forfeited. This is consistent in regular season as well as flag bowl. (Coaches are encouraged to play each player the first four plays of offense or defensive series. It will eliminate this being an issue.) 2) Each game will be played with two 25 minute halves, separated by a 5 minute half time. 3) The time clock will start when the referee spots the ball and blows the whistle. You will have 45 seconds from that point to break the huddle. If there is a penalty you will lose a down and the ball will be spotted again. The clock will then start for another 45 seconds. 4) 2 minute clock will be in effect for the end of the first half and game. Clock will stop on missed pass, out of bounds, injury, change of possession. If team is up by 4 scores the clock will remain a running clock unless a time out is called.

    The Spread Offense PHOTO COPY AND CREATE PLAY SHEETS Introduction to Offensive Schemes It is said that great offense puts people in the stands, but great defense wins championships. To be successful on the field of play you need to be solid in both phases of the game as well as in special teams. It is important to plan how your team is going to approach the game from an offensive point of view. What type of offense will you be; a tough grind it out running team or perhaps a wide open spread team that wants to throw on every down? The key to answering that question is a core understanding of what your strengths and weaknesses are as a coach. Coaches must always be learning and educating themselves on the basic fundamentals of the game. They must always pursue better ways to teach fundamentals and manage practices and games. Therefore, the best offense to run for your team is the offense you can best teach, and most importantly, the offense your players can learn and execute. The best coaches put players in positions conducive to their skill-sets, ensuring the best chances for success. Kids will respond to being successful; they’ll enjoy their experience and continue to play this great game. SCHEME Offensive schemes have evolved over time and they continue to evolve every fall with new twists and wrinkles to basic schemes. While scheme is important in that it does give your team an approach – a philosophy if you will – the most important element to scheme is being fundamentally sound in your approach.

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
