Hi,
I'm a 5th year HS assistant at a 4A school in PA. Calling the defense and coaching WR's.
Played WR/RB in HS, WR in college.
Love football & I love this site. So much to learn, that I don't know where to start sometimes. It's interesting hearing different opinions from different states.
Football is new national pastime.

Hi,
I'm a 3rd year player from the UK (started as soon as I joined my University) and recently got my team associated into the full University League over here (as chairman of the committee and stand in head coach as well as playing safety on defence).
I created an offensive playbook that allowed my team made up of first time players to put 40 points over an established team.
Joined this site to increase my knowledge of the game and hopefully give me a decent foundation to build upon if I choose to go fully into coaching.

Hi I am from Adelaide Australia and have been involved with football for the past ten years first as a player then as a coach. I have been a coach the past 5 years. In which I was a player/coach and now I am just coaching.
I started coaching with the OL. Then I coached both OL and DL for a couple of seasons I have also been OC. I am now back working with the OL and DL but also working with the D.
I have joined this site to increase my knowledge of the game. Being in Australia it is difficult as there are not a lot of people which high knowledge of football therefore sites like this are a god send. I have bought many books and Dvd's which have been recommended. But I decided it was time to being posting and asking questions of more experianced coaches.

When I was probably 6 years old, I had that old electronic football game board and I would play with it a little differently than most kids. I never plugged it in. Instead I would line up the players on the field and create plays for them. It was my own 3 dimensional playbook. Back then the Sunday newspapers would show illustrated diagrams of either key offensive plays or defensive schemes for the games of the week. I loved it and would use that as inspiration for my 3-D playbook, which I'd also write down on paper. Basically I've been interested in X's and O's from an early age.
I attended catholic grade school and we had a flag football team. I also played basketball, baseball, and volleyball so there was not enough time to play tackle. Entering high school, basketball was my main sport. Regrettably, I did not play football my freshman year. By the time sophomore year came around I decided to give tackle a try. I thoroughly enjoyed it but even though I was a decent athlete, I was far behind technique wise because everybody else had played tackle previously. I soon took up other interests and football was not a priority. Somewhere in my high school timeline I coached and reffereed youth flag football.
While always a football fan and always being interested in X's and O's, I didn't become obsessed with football again until my early 20's (I'm 28 now). 2 years ago a friend asked me to help coach his brother's flag football team and I was all in. I've been hooked ever since. This year I am the head coach. I have a 1 year old son and hope to coach him some day.
In a few years, once my business gets more established, I'd like to being coaching tackle football. I have a lot of techniques to learn as it applies to the tackle game. I gravitate to the offensive strategy more than defense. I'm extremely curious in learning more about the inner workings of the offensive line since this is rather foreign to me.
I'm new to this site but it's already in my daily rotation of visited websites. It's incredible.

Just wanted to say hi. I am new to coaching football, this is only my second year but I am having a great time. I do have one question though. I am the defensive coordinator for my team and the head coach is only interested in working on the offense and making sure either one of two kids touch the ball and won't give me the time that I need to coach my defense, I do the best I can with what I am give but I am ready to pull my hair out. I want the boys to have fun but do not want to send them out there unprepared to get hurt. Any suggestions how to deal with a guy that is so set in his ways that it is blinding him.

Hello all, my name is Alen and I'm 17 years old. I watch about six to nine games of football a week (NFL and CFB) and evaluate draft prospects. I hope to go to UCF for a coaching degree. I'm a hard worker and am willing to spend numerous hours studying the game, as I do now.
I found this site on Smartfootball.com, a site that I frequent often, and immediately wanted to become part of it to learn more from you guys. I want to say thanks in advance for all of the stuff that i learn from you all here.
Alen

Defensive Coordinator at a 5A school in the DFW area. I have been very lucky to have been very successful running the 3-5-3 for several years. I have studied the 3-4, 4-3, 3-5-3, 4-2-5. I have also been an OC for a couple of years. I have coached every position on the field. I dont know it all... I do know it is nice to be in the playoffs....

I am a HC at my alma-mater's Middle School I've coached seventh grade the past two years and next year I will be coaching either eighth grade or freshmen.
I'm graduated HS in 2008 so my experience is very low. I'm hoping to use this site to get some great advice for my future in football.
My first year, we ran Wing-T and a 5-3 on defense. This year was the first year I had sole control of the offense. I ran a Power-I and the flexbone. Defensively, we ran a 4-4.
I'm hoping to become a successful coach at the big HS ranks or small collegese. My knowledge is best with the flexbone option attack and an odd defense.

Hi all.
I have been lurking for awhile and found this to be a great board. I'd like to join in some of these conversations and wanted to introduce myself.
I got into coaching HS Ball twelve years ago. I am currently the OC at a HS in the northeast. During my HS days I played in a wishbone triple option system and a 52 defense. During College, I played in a multiple I system.
I started out coaching the OL/DL on the freshman level for two years and have since coached OL/DL/OLB/RB/DE on the varsity level. I am currently coaching RBs & DEs.
We used the GSU spread option and 43 Defense until a change at HC took place a few years ago. We are now Wing-T based (w/some spread concepts as well) on offense and G Front on defense.
Thanks for such a great board.

Hi, my name is Marc, I'm from Germany. I have my first year of coaching under my belly, coached the O-Line of our youth team (age 15 to 19). Football over here is not organized by schools but in clubs, age group are basically 2, Youth and Seniors (age 19+). Being a summer sport here in Germany we are now in the offseason, I will be the OC for the youth team next year so I'm trying to learn as much about formations/schemes as possible. Played O-Line for 12 years so I need to get a bigger picture (and learn a passing tree ). Cheers Marc

Hey Guys, My name is Michael. I'm a student at Texas A&M just now starting to post on this site. I plan on coaching when I graduate. Personally I like the spread and the stuff Chip Kelly is doing at Oregon. But I am in the early stages of forming a philosophy right now, and just trying to learn as much as I can

I'm an aspiring football coach, and I have experience playing in the Wing-T and Air Raid on offense and the 5-2 and 20 (4-2-5) on defense. I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school as I write this (Dec. '09).
