4-2-5

Hi Coaches,

Is anyone running the 4-2-5 at the varsity level? We run a muliple front 4-4 and will not have a lot of talanted or frankly smart kids coming into camp this year. I can put in this 4-2-5 with a simple call and tag.

---------C------------------------------C
------------------------F
--------R--------------------------D
-------------W---------------S
-------------E-----N---M-----T

M/N 2i
T/E 4
W/S 40
R/D 4x4 adjusted to their speed
F-Centerfield or shaded to strength 6-8 yards
Cs-8-10 outside shoulder of #1

Thinking about using the front 6 much like a 3-3 stack, all six coming hard through a gap. This way I let some of our more agressive kids fly around without thinking. Putting my stud at F and my next two studs at R and D.

What worries me is that it is too agressive for the varsity level except when used as a change up. Am also worried about getting trapped with being this agressive. Coverage would be zone with R/D-Flats, F-mid centerfield, and Cs having deep 1/2s.

Rush package N/E/W side but M/S/T would have the same package and make the call on the field.

OUT
N-B gap
T-C gap
W-A gap

In
N-A gap
E-B gap
W-C gap

Split
N-A gap
E-C gap
W-B gap

This would have to part of our overall package so I have to keep it really simple. Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
