Jamboree's kick off this weekend for our youth conferences. We still need some fine tuning but are also playing some teams that will block our playoff run. Do we work on what we need against a new live defense or do we keep it one formation with 5-6 plays? Planning on keeping it one formation. We've got talent, but want it to appear like we're all 1st year players. Agree or disagree?

I never want to show anything to anyone when it doesn't count and I will be playing them down the road. I also think that it is sometimes good to spend that time working on your bread & butter. Then it may allow you for more time during practice to work on wrinkles. JMO.

Agree or disagree? ive never been secretive. i dont believe that team worth their salt have some "super secret" play that will defeat everyone...typically its the terrible ones who want to hide their real offenses just run your offense.

Work on what you need. Don't worry that you'll show too much. The valuable info your opponents would want is not what you have, but what you don't have; how are they going to find that out?

I agree with 33Coach.
Run your stuff...so you can troubleshoot if necessary. Better to know everything now rather than after these opponents beat you when it counts. Talent aside...are you as a Staff on point would be the real question. If not then you have time to smooth things out.

Run your stuff. If it is what you are going to do - do it. They'll scout you anyway later so you might as well get good at what you do. I wouldn't have the whole offense in, but I sure would run my base stuff.

For our two preseason games I will run my stuff to fine tune and trouble shoot any issues. With that being said with our first preseason game being on 8/30 I don't have much my offense installed, so I will be working my base plays and my bread and butter stuff. .

Don't over complicate things - just work on whatever your team needs to work on. Give the other team's coaches a little credit - they're going to scout you and figure out what you do anyway, so what difference does it make what you show in the scrimmage? If what they see in the scrimmage is going to make any significant difference when they see you in a game situation several weeks down the road, then they are not very good coaches anyway, so again, what difference does is make? Just do what you do, focus on improving your own team and don't worry too much about what your opponent is doing or seeing you do.
