62 Multi 8 Youth Football Defense Best D for the Win

Welcome to my first video on my 62 Multi 8 Youth Football Defense. One of the best youth football Defenses for the Win. I’ve been developing this defense since 2008 or so. This Spring 2016 this defense has had 8 straight shut outs with an 11U team. I am very proud of this team and the defense they have played all season. Now we need to win our Spring Super Bowl.

The 62 Multi 8 defense (62×8) is a great defensive system for all ages since it will grow with your team and you can pick and choose what works best with your personnel.

This book was money! Helped me finish ranked first on state. We transitioned between 6-2, 3-3 and gap 8 for goal line. We really liked the blackjack blitz.
