How many of you use motion as a part of your offense? We use it all the time. I've found that if you motion a player from one side of the formation to the other, that the defense almost never brings someone over to cover them. One of two things happen...nothing, which means you outnumber the defense, or someone moves out of the box, which means they've weakend the core.
We use motion for misdirection, outnumbering the defense, and kicking out a defensive end. Our only problem in the past has been that we have a hard time calling the motion. Adding "motion left/motion right" to the play call is a lot at the youth level. It makes a play call pretty long, and I've had kids forget the play on the way to the huddle! I always told my QB that if the player forgets the play on the way to the huddle, to just call a QB sneak!
If any of you use motion, how do you put it into the play call??
