Coach, I wish I could help out with some information, but the little guys (6-7) in our league play eight man football, while small school Class A high schools play six man football here in Texas. Hopefully someone out there has some experience with a nine player game and will be able to help you out. Thanks for your post on the youth forum coach and good luck this season.

Coach Hartman,
Cannot figure out how to answer private emails on this forum. Perhaps you can give me a pointer, can't seem to get any outgoing form other than this reply sheet here. At any rate, just wanted to let you know I received the message you left this afternoon and considered it very thoughtful of you to do so. I started my coaching career some 40 years ago now, on the youth level(HC of a Jr. High Team) and always felt it very important that age youngster get a proper start with fundamentals, etc. You seem very knowledgable and dedicated, and that is critical for the youth. Keep up the good work!

Coach mark99,

To be perfectly honest with you, I have never heard of 9 man football. 6 man and 8 man, yes for sure.
But 9 man, no. If you have time and you find out anything about it, would appreciate you posting it so I may learn right along with you.

I found out that there are many high school in U.S. and Canada that plays 9-man, and also some semipro league, but nothing on technical infos. I have a article found on AFCA website about the defense, but i am still looking on some offense advice. My biggest concern is how much the two missing offensive tackles will hurt the running game.

Coach,
Thanks so much for the information. You answered my queston as who were the 2 players that would be missing. I have been in this game for straight up 40 years coaching and I just had never even heard of the 9 man game. I coached in Florida, Georgia, California and New York State. Where are these schools located that play the 9 man? No big rush, whenever you have a spare moment, as I would really like to know just for general info. Thanks in advance for your time.

Coach,
I have been the D. co. for two years in our 9-man league. I should have you know I am a Marine and we play other Marines. Although, I could probably help alot on D. I know a decent amount about the O we run, which differs from the rest of the league, and the more common O's ran here in Hawaii. Get me a spacific question or two, but for now I can give you this...
The majority of the teams run a five and four man line where the TE's can and do release. We just played a team w/ a 5 man line and a wichbone backfield. It was a pain. The 9-man game is won and lost on the sidelines. There is no arguing this fact. The option works great when mixed with and I-form and twins. Our O now is rough for these players to learn. We use a 3 man line and 4 wide outs. Our QB is probably the worst in the league, but in this system you always have a receiver in 1 on 1 or a huge mismatch because alot of teams love to blitz and/ or run a 4 man line. Get back with me...

9-man.

our youth league (16-18) over in the UK is 11 man with a 9 man option if one team doesnt have enough for the 11 man squad. you must have 25 players in your gameday squad to play 11 man. it usually ends up with most games being played as 9 man as the teams arent linked to schools and rely on promoting themselves to get players which is often neglected. This one fact drives me nuts and i cant see how people over here dont see the benefit of promoting hard and gaining a squad of 40!

Coach Easton,

Nine-man football is pretty popular in North Dakota. It is also played in South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. I coach in North Dakota, last year was my first coaching nine-man. The adjustment wasn't as big as I thought it would be. Football is football and you still have to teach technique. The Nine-man game is pretty wide open. A lot of fun if you are an offensive coordinator, nightmares if you are on the defensive side. There is also a lot of iron man being played, last year we had 6 kids that never left the field.
