    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.

  • Awareness of Game Situations
    Referee has collected some of the best Football Officiating tips & techniques they could find and have created a Football Officiating A-Z email series to share with officials. Officials who are interested can visit https://www.referee.com/free-guides/ for more officiating resources. Tips will be added weekly once new ones are released. AWARENESS OF GAME SITUATIONS Most football fans understand how the down, distance, score and time remaining affect how teams strategize. The same information that helps the guy in the 53rd row can help officials if they use a little common sense. For example, it’s third down and 11. Team A trails by two points with 1:37 to play in the fourth quarter and has the ball on its own 44 yardline. Going without a huddle because it is out of timeouts, team A lines up in a shotgun formation with an empty backfield and three eligible receivers on the right side of the formation. Gee, do you think a pass is coming? Do you think the receivers will run at least 11-yard routes? Is it likely the quarterback’s first look will be to a receiver running a pattern near the sideline? That is a fairly elementary example, but it illustrates how officials can process information and turn it into proper coverage of a play. The latter stages of a game are also prime times for flea-flickers or other trick plays, onside kicks, clock- killing spikes (and fake spikes) and other tactics that are less than routine. Your ability to anticipate them will help determine if you are in proper position to make a big call (or no-call) at the end of a game.

  • NFHS Rules Differences
    NFHS Rules Differences The purpose of these presentations is to highlight the differences between NFHS and NCAA rules. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all the rules. Many of the NFHS rules definitions in Rule 2 are similar to the relevant rules in the NCAA code. These include: blocking definitions, scrimmage formation and free kick formation. The net effect is that for these definitions, they are administered and/or officiated the same in both codes unless noted below. Also, there are terms that are different but are the same description. These include: restraining line in NFHS is akin to the limit line in NCAA; face tackling/butt blocking are terms akin to using the crown of helmet/facemask to tackle/block, first touching versus illegal touching, boundary lines versus sidelines, free kick lines versus restraining lines. There are others that are defined in only one of the codes, but have no bearing: offensive blocker, captain, non-player, rule, belongs to, deliberate dead ball advance, between downs, forward, beyond, blocking a scrimmage kick, field goal attempt. We are not going to get hung up on the terminology differences and will use the terms interchangeably. Each rule is broken down into three segments: 1) Low importance – defined as items we don’t need to focus on, and will administer as before, 2) Minor importance – items you need to be aware of, but they involve situations that are rare or are not germane to the playing of the game, 3) Major importance – these are the items we need to focus on, especially if they relate to safety.

It is essential to the success of our program and to your enjoyment of the game. Please read it thoroughly and study it before and after practice. It is especially important to study your playbook early in the season when so much of this information might be new to you. Ask Mom or Dad to help you with any part of the playbook that is confusing to you. Everything discussed in the playbook will be explained during practice.. We will run most of the plays described in this book and maybe a few more, depending upon the players we have and their specific skills. We will be adding a few basic pass plays a little later in the season after you have learned the basic running plays illustrated here. Our coaches will work with you to teach you the safe, proper blocking and tackling techniques as well as the fundamentals of the various positions. Our goal is to teach each player to play every position both offensively and defensively. It is very important to attend practice. However, please attempt to notify your coach in advance if you will not be present at a session. During practice please pay attention to what the coaches have to say and do your best to follow their instructions. If you do, I am sure you will have a safe and enjoyable football experience.

These quizzes will be released on Thursday of each game week, with answers being provided on the following Monday. The first eight questions are focused around on-field rulings, and the final two questions are focused on Instant Replay. All officials should be familiar with and work both sets of questions. Answer each on-field question by giving THESE FOUR ITEMS of information for the next time the ball is to be put in play: Team in possession Down and distance (or Free Kick or Try) Yard line of succeeding spot Game clock status (Ready/ Snap / Running / FK Rules / No Clock / Ten-Second Runoff) For Replay Questions, complete the answer with the outcome and any replay reasoning. 1. 4/8 @ A-42. A96’s punt lands at the B-10, bounces off A44’s leg at the B-8 and finally goes out of bounds at the B-18. While the kick was in the air B80 signaled for a fair catch at the B-10 and then moved up-field and blocked A50 at the B-16 before the kick was dead. RULING: B, 1/10, B-8, Snap B80 has committed a foul for an Illegal Block foul (Rule 6-5-4).
