short ydg pckg for spread offense?

No need to add anything else. I will if you are worried about it run wedge from undercenter with jet action or reverse action. What age group is this? Have you run this type of offense before at this level?

We had an Air Raid team lose the championship game because they needed a yd. They went under center and screwed it up. I know you can run it from the gun but it helps if your QB can go under if needed at times.

I would love to get a copy of his offense. The clips I have watched I liked. I honestly do not need a short yd package. In the field they are either going to have to back off some or risk giving up the big play. I think what you need to do is practice a ton of 2 pt conversion type plays. 1-3 yds from the end zone and put pressure on your offense to score in practice. They will get very comfortable and you'll feel more relaxed as a coach as to what to do.

I don't think you need to add any special plays for short yardage but you certainly can get in two TE's with a WB or two and run the same stuff to force the defense to expand its edge and cover more gaps.
Really though, I like to expand/contract/shift the formations to mess with fronts (particuliarly the shades) and coverages (rotations vs 2x2, 3x1) rather than just for short yardage. I prefer to stay in our spread look and just run our normal offense. Being able and willing to throw the ball on short yardage is required in order to make them stay out of the box. Sometimes its easier to say than do but in this type of offense (as with any IMO) being one painted into a corner based on situation makes you one dimensional which makes it much tougher to execute.
Bpj, once you get up and going let me know how its going for your guys.
It can be tough to get them in sync at first, IMO you gotta put your best lineman at center and get a consistant snap in order to have the timing work out. Make sure you over stress the importance of the qb's footwork and EYES on the mesh in veer and GT, critical to get them to eye the key and not peek at the FB....

BJP,

I'm doing the exact samething this year with 10-12 yo. If you'd like we can exchange ideas throughout the season. I've already organized the practice schedule for installation along with the drills that we will use the teach it. I will also posting video quite often so as much feedback as possible negative or otherwise will be greatly appreciated!!
