What offense would give a young, slow, small team the best chance to compete. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Some coaches here believe that you are better off spreading out if your kids aren't very big or fast. Other coaches here would suggest to crank it down to dub tight ends and run the ball by giving your linemen angles and leading the play with a bunch of pulling linemen, the fullback, and the QB. I think that both approaches have a lot of merit. |

Most of your run game should be between the tackles. Utilize misdirection to slow down the defense, which in essense makes your team faster. Small: Get as many double teams along the LOS as you can. Utilize trap, down, and kickout blocks. Try and avoid 1on1 matchups. Young: Keep it simple and build off it. Install your base package(s) and then expand from there. Keep in mind that may take until next season. Scheme wise I think you can be successful running just about anything. Question: Are you looking to change offenses midway through the season? Sometimes that can be a mistake. Been there done that. But sometimes it can be just what the doctor ordered...been there done that too. But in the latter case it was more about simplification than wholesale changes. |

worst thing we can do as coaches is to try to teach something we don't know that much about.
best thing we do as coaches is adapt our system as much as possible to best utilize what we have each season without sacrificing future years (i.e. switch completely to accomodate 1 or 2 kids then what do we do when they are gone?) or trying to "do too much" or something out of our realm of knowledge

short punt is a good one
--O--O-O-X-O-O--O

you can punt on third and long
you can run the rock with lots of power and misdirection- ALSO, option series is a good idea. (see Lou Howard)
multiple pullers, tight splits, double teams and angles up fronts
lots of trap blocking using blocking up backs and pulling linemen
good passing formation off play action, you can easily go with two split ends have use max protection
