League (BYFL) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization operated by dedicated volunteers whose mission is to enable participants (ages 8-12) the opportunity to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment. Through this active participation, BYFL programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that children will use throughout their lives. We are dedicated to sportsmanship, teamwork and fair play. Philosophy Coaches play a pivotal role in the development of athletes at all levels. As a coach, you may take on a variety of roles throughout the season such as a: Mentor, Innovator, Supporter, Educator, Trainer, Leader, Counselor, Role Model, and Friend to your players. Be a teacher first and a coach second. Effectively teach the fundamentals of football in a positive safe environment. Challenge and teach players how to play the game right, and what good sportsmanship means. Motivate and stimulate confidence in your players. Value each player’s effort and persistence and support their development on and off the field. The number one reason children participate in youth sports is to have fun. Remember that you have a team of 8-10-year-old children and the game of football is just a game. Learning about winning and losing, playing by the rules, and respecting an opponent are just as important as learning football skills. “A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are.” – Ara Parasheghian BYFL Football Rules North Dakota High School Athletic Associations (NDHSAA) playing rules shall apply except as specifically revised in this handbook.

    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.
