It can be as simple or as difficult as you'd like it to be. All I do is tell my kids where to line up, and for the line, if you hear "go" you block what's in front of you, if not you just stand there. For the other guys if he snaps the ball, this is what you do. I keep it simple and rep the fire out of it.

Any diagrams or pictures you could share of the formation or of the plays you run out of it?

I would like to install this on my 5th/6th grade team. Is there any info that I could read that will help me learn all about it and install it? The main thing to know about it is that its main play is the place kick. Do you place kick a lot? Lots of teams at that level never do. If you don't, then I'd have to ask what your purpose is in installing swinging gate. There are better systems than swinging gate to install if you want to get something like the effect of swinging gate but with more flexibility. One is lonesome polecat. Basically what you want to do is make the defense adjust to at least 2 very different looks while waiting for you to snap the ball. Preferably one of the formations you shift into has some subtly different variation so that even when they think they've shifted properly with you, they don't realize they've left a receiver uncovered. |

Any diagrams or pictures you could share of the formation or of the plays you run out of it? ....S..T..G..C..G..T..........X ...................A..............................Z ...................................Q.....B The A is my running back, the S is a slot receiver/smaller back, the B is a full back/tight end, X/Z are receivers. The X can snap it to the A or the Q based on what the coach says. X runs a drag 2 yards into endzone if he snaps it, Z runs a corner, Q tries to run to the pylon, and B leads for Q. If Q can't get to the pylon, he throws to the open receiver. You can also have the A and S run routes, but I coach middle school and I want the Q to have less to think about. If X snaps it to A, he yells go and finds a seam, very simple and very effective. |
