Coaches,
My amateur team club set up a youth team (13 to 16years old players) for the first time.
We will have a 30kids roster for a 9man league.
There will be only rookies so here's my question:
what is too much plays on O and on D?

Off the top of my head I would say it depends on what you're going to run. If it's more 2 back dive/iso/power/sweep stuff maybe 4-5 runs with play actions. But if your running more of a series based offense you could run a few more that tie in together, say 2 or 3 series of 3-4 plays each.

Julien:
I've followed your club's story a bit (in the Stories of the Season section above), so I know your team had a bit of success. What do you run with them. If you already know a system that you've had success with, that might be a good place to start, depending on what it is, and if it can be simplified easily to use at the youth level.
I think Chuck's comments are about right, but like he said, it depends a lot on what scheme you're going to use.
BTW, I think it's great that you're helping to increase the popularity of this great game over in Europe - you're a pioneer and I wish you the best of luck.

coachdoug, first thanks for your kind words.
I run a one back fly offense last season (Wild Bunch).
Our youth team will be coach by a former defensive player.
I can't handle both team and my fellow coach want to run some basic power football even if I try to convince him to run the same offensive scheme I run...
