I've learned in my years of coaching...kids tend to remember what "louie" "crazy" and "Seminoles" is easier than Cover3, Lead, Trap, Dive, or Counter.

Are there terms you all use to help communicate to kids or help them understand/learn what you are trying to get them to do?

A few of mine:

Seminoles: Punt block team. HS Coach used it and it stuck
Louie: Designates unbalanced line. (as in Louie Right)
Crazy: A hitch pass that turns into a hitch and pitch.
Goons: Kickoff team

Heck yea that was our whole tag system this year. we were shotgun no huddle wristband so if we wanted to tweak somethign week to week we did with a verbal cue. For example Clemson was our curl flat, if we tag it with Tiger the flat turned to a wheel and if we tagged it with Bengal the curl turned to a curl and go(skinny post_. Also out of trips any route we tagged with "meatloaf" told #2 and #3 to run the combo and #1 to run the alt route. Is this what you were looiing for? We had a ton that we made up I tried to make them as crazy and as transferrable as possible so the kids would undertand it. I found that the funiier and more crazy it was then easier they remebered it.
