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
