offenses for my team

I am an amature, but, could I suggest you go to jvm.com/coachfree. He has his offense on line. Also if you go to his posting board there is a reference to a gentleman who adapted it to youth. He has responded to me with a very good word doc. and responded by email to my question. It is based on a unbalanced line and option looks (not necessarily triple option) to include midline (I know Coach Campbell and Coach Hartman say that Midline is easier to teach younger players) and a very simple but effective base play. Your strong fast kid would be a great FB in the system (a FB dive is the base) and the fast kid with moves would work well as the TB who carries less but will get a chance to get outside. There are also chances to use the QB's ability to do more than just hand off and pass when behind. Give it a try. It has been discussed on this forum before.

Oh, the page owner is Roger Freeborn who has been a Glazier clinic speaker and now works for BFS after years as a HS coach in the Northwest. He is also (like the coaches here)available through his posting board and chatroom (which acts more like one of these forums).

I'd say try the I or split back with the beginnings of the triple option being taught. It will help your o-line in the fact that they don't have to be over powering to run it. I wouldn't recommend having your qb actually read the triple. Do something like have a midline give, midline pull/keep, and a midline pitch. That way the kids wouldn't have to figure out who is getting ball and they could just play. Of course teach the proper mesh, path, and pitch fundamentals as possible.

Coach,

For all the good intentioned, well meaning advice from the posters above it really seems a bit much for a little league team to handle. CYFL coach offers the best plan, in my opinion. Coach Cambell hit it on the head with staying with 2 backs and a TE as the most effective. Teach them a basic "I" formation with a split end or double tights, a FB , A tailback, and a flanker. Design your game plans around the different running skills of each of the boys, and have at it. Remember coach, it is little league and not anything else. INSTILL THE FUNDAMENTALS WITH LARGE DOSES OF EMPHASISING HAVE FUN AT THAT LEVEL.
