After the snap of the ball the QB fakes a handoff to the RB. The RB then continues to run up the middle of the field for about 10 yards, then cuts either right or left and runs towards the sideline anticipating the ball from the QB. DEFENSE Option 1: Man to Man. All players pick a player on the other team to guard and they follow them wherever they go on the field. Option 2: Zone. All players are assigned a specific zone of the field to cover defensively and react to the ball in the air. .

  • 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.

    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 Passing Tree Is the Number System Used for the Passing Routes
    The Passing Tree is the number system used for the passing routes. All routes are the same for ALL receivers. The route assignment depends on the position of the receiver and how it is called at the line of scrimmage. This system has all ODD number routes flowing toward the center of the field, while EVEN number routes are toward the sideline. All routes are called from LEFT to RIGHT. Inside Tight Ends, Eligible Receivers (I) , are also called from LEFT to RIGHT. The above passing tree assumes the quarterback is on the left side of the route runner labeled. Below are the routes used in this playbook: ROUTE NAMES: #1 – ARROW/ SLANT. Slant 45 degrees toward middle. Expect the ball quickly. #3 – DRAG. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward middle.. #5 – CURL ROUTE/ BUTTON HOOK. Drive out 5-7 yards, slow and gather yourself, curl in towards QB, establish a wide stance and frame yourself. Find an open or void area #7 – POST. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep post. Opposite of Flag/ Corner Route . #9 – STREAK/ FLY. Can be a straight sprint or "go" route off the line of scrimmage. #8 – HITCH N’ GO. Drive out 5-7 yards, curl away from QB, show hand fake (sell it!, and then roll out and up the field.) #6 – CORNER. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep corner. #4 - OUT. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward sideline.

  • 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.

  • The “Loco Punt Formation” Article By: Jared Van Acker, Head Football Coach, Galax, Va
    THE “LOCO PUNT FORMATION” ARTICLE BY: JARED VAN ACKER, HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, GALAX, VA I want to first off give thanks to American Football Monthly and the extensive knowledge on the game of football that is published within its pages every month. I look forward to the day when the new issue reaches my doorsteps to see the new and innovative minds/trends in the greatest game in the world. I have been the Head Football coach at Galax High School for the last two years and like all coaches I stress the importance of all three phases of the game of football: offense, defense, and special teams. I believe that one of the most important phases is special teams and unfortunately many coaches don’t emphasize its importance until it bites them in the backside. A couple of years ago while I was a young assistant coach, I put some of my own thoughts into a punt scheme that I used while I played at Quincy University, now an NAIA school in Quincy, IL. Like all coaches across America we are “thieves” when it comes to our ideas and schemes and I devised a fun and effective punt formation that I call the “Loco Punt”. This punt formation has been a very effective tool in the punt game for our football team and blends a solid spread punt scheme with an arsenal of fakes to keep the pressure off the punter and to allow for a successful punt and coverage. With this scheme we have been able to change the landscape of many football games! In the two years that we have used the “Loco Punt” we have had only one punt blocked and numerous first-down conversions from the array of fakes that we use.
