Youth Football Offense – Coaching Clinic
Here is another video on my youth football coaching clinic series, Youth Football Offenses. Enjoy the video.
Youth Football Offense Tips
- Have a “real” playbook not napkins
- Base Offense on Personnel not Scheme
- Start learning holes, positions, play calling language day 1
- Work on your QB / Center Exchange everyday
- The Sweep and Run are more important in Youth Football, this is not the NFL or NCAA
- Passing % should be Age of Player Minus 3
8 yrs old – 3 = 5%
13 yrs old – 3 = 10%
Adjust if you have the right talent but be VERY careful
- Passing % should be Age of Player Minus 3
