I helped with the local youth leagues football camp at the college's stadium this week and I was asked by a head coach to help him when I can. I told him that I really didn't want to tell him yes because of my coaching duties at school taking most of my time, but he insisted I help. I told him I would help as much as I could, but couldn't promise I would be at any games since they play the same night as we do.
On a side note, I was disapointed with the coaching level of most of the coaches. A couple of us had to go back and reteach what other coaches were doing because they did it wrong.
I also asked the coach that wants me to help him about using unbalanced lines, and he had no clue. 5 minutes after seeing the rules, I saw the loop hole. The 8-9 year olds have to use a head up 5-2, so go unbalanced. He asked me to show him on paper so I did and now he says he wants me to install something with unbalanced line.
I have already asked the coordinator for the league, and he said they will have to line up like this.
------------------L---------L
----------E--T-------N----------T---E
--------------O--O--O--O--O--O--O
----------------------O
LB's have to be 5 yards off.
