Any of you guys using press coverage at the youth/pop warner levels?

Although we see almost exclusively man coverage played against us, we are primarily a Cover 3 team. We play Cover 3 behind all of our 4 and 5 man pressure, Cover 1 or Robber behind our 6 man pressure and Cover 0 behind our 7 and 8 man pressure.

We will also occasionally play some Cover 2 and normally play our corners in a press alignment when doing so. We also tend to press any receiver who aligns on the LOS in trips, cluster or bunch to limit rub opportunities and to discourage bubble/quick screens by the offense.
