The Fly offense is a motion / deception offense that has been recently run with success by Willamette University in Salem, OR. It involves having your slot receiver start in motion towards the QB at full speed the QB snaps the ball when the WR reaches the inside leg of the tackle, the WR either takes the handoff and run the speed sweep (FLY) or fakes and the ball is handed to HB, FB or QB keeps. It is a neat offense in that your o-line only blocks one 1st level defender (PS DE) on the sweep and everyone elso escapes to 2nd level, it has the elements of the triple option but you never have to put the ball in the air on a pitch. It is for all intensive purposes a 3 back offense so passing to catch up can be difficult. That being said it is a gimmick offense suited quite well to high school and lower level college competition.

Coach Tuttle - you said: "My problem is I need more material. I will pay for it beg for it whatever". Here is one currently listed on EBAY:

I'm not saying you can't throw out of it but when you let your QB turn his back to the defense to execute the fly fake and hand off the belly or whatever you do it is hard to get much sophistication in the air. However it looks like you are doing it, good job. If you get down by a couple a scores late do have problems catching up in the air and do you still make the defense respect the sweep? One more question do run it out of single back gun at all?

Great Discussion! Thank you guys for your thoughts. As far as the post above the West Hills offense FLY video playbook on Ebay is mediocre. I purchased it and much prefer the Mark Speckman DVD. Speckman's DVD runs about $99 most places but can be picked up off amazon.com for about $60. I will say it again, I believe that the FLY offense is the best offense in high school today. Year after year with depleted talent you could still win with this offense. It doesn't ask much from your lineman and the defense most of the time has no idea where the ball is if the offense is run right. If you see Willamette University play I think you will agree that on a high school level this attack could be devestating year after year.
