Coaches I have updated and revised my manual on how to install the single wing and Wildcat offenses using traditional formations and motions. The single wing and or Wildcat formations give you multiple schemes and options in regards to disception and confusion. Besides the running game you have a complete passing game to compliment the run. My new manual can be found located in the store under new products at the top of the forum or on the home page. Single wing formation was the original gun formation created back in the early 1900's. This manual is 275 pages. Coach Campbell
When I used the SW many years ago - we liked Jock Sutherland's "end over end" direct snap. Easier to teach than the conventional SW snap.
Jock had the highest winning % in history (in College ball) of anyone that ever ran the Unbalanced Line SW.
The winningest SW High School Coach (% wise) may have been the late George Gasser (Glen Allen High School - Glen Allen, Va.). He won 59, lost 2, & tied 2 (back when ties were allowed), before leaving coaching to sign a contract with the NY Yankees!
SUTHERLAND END OVER END CENTER SNAP TECHNIQUE (from 1938 Pitt Position Manual):
1. Stance as wide as Center can function from. Ball placed with laces up.
2. Hands one on either side of ball with thumbs touching and directly opposite of each other, between the third and fourth laces — counting from the Center.
3. Palms pressed gently on the ball and the tip of the index fingers are placed on the lateral seams. Rest of fingers spread out comfortably.
4. The ball is snapped firmly. The first motion is to lift the ball toward the face, cock the wrist so that the front tip of the ball is elevated, and carry it back between the legs — all in the same motion. The ball is lifted so that the front end will not strike the ground when it is flipped between the legs, and the wrists are cocked to afford greater wrist movement. When the ball is directly between the legs it is released and at the same time flipped with a sharp wrist movement.
5. Care must be taken to hold the elbows comfortably close together so that they will not strike against the thighs.
6. As the ball is released the hands are allowed to pass on through between the legs in a typical follow-through. Important for speed and accuracy.
7. Avoid tenseness. The entire body coordinates in a rhythm of motion.
