The Double Wing Tight End Pop Pass 90 Backdoor is one of my top 10 favorite youth football plays. This easy pass play comes in at number 5 on my best play list and my highest ranked pass play for youth football. If set up and executed well this play is a good 10+…
The I Formation G-Pull 35 WB Counter play is #6 on my Best Offensive Plays in Youth Football List. I love misdirection counter plays in youth football and this wing back counter should be a standard play in any I formation offensive play package. You set up this play with the normal I Formation Sweeps,…
Ah, the Single Wing! Love it or hate it, the Single Wing offense works perfectly in youth football. Like football from yesteryear, youth football is all about running the football. The Single Wing offense is tailored to power run the football over youth football defenses. The Single Wing offense puts more blockers at the point…
After watching a few offensive DVDs the over the summer and coaching pulling drills over the years, I tweaked my pull blocking drills into my Pull Blocking Pod Youth Football Drill Station. I also added blocks for the Split End, Tail Back and the Full Back so we can get everyone involved in the blocking…
Its been a couple of weeks since winning the Fall 2011 KYA Sophomore Super Bowl and our end of season team party. I’ve had some time to reflect on the Fall season and some of the things I learned this youth football season. The number one thing I learned this season is make sure you…

Since many of you have been asking for a copy of my youth football playbook, I put together a pdf ebook of some of the youth football plays I ran in 2010 for a 3rd grade and 6th grade team. These plays are still in draft form without individual responsibilities and blocking call not finalized….
It seems like every youth football season when I start coaching a new set of pee wee football players one of the most difficult skills to perfect is the Quarterback and Center snap exchange. If you drafted a new team at try outs, then you may have a few ideas who your Quarterback will be…
Game day offensive play calling strategy in youth football starts with your scouting report on your opponents defense. If you are not scouting opponent teams then you are not giving your team the best opportunity to win. So if you are losing and not scouting your opponents, stop the player meat days and adjust your…
We introduced the Gilman Gear’s King Crab Sled at our 7-9 year old practice this week and the response was great. The kids loved the new piece of equipment to use and the challenge to push it around the field. I let another coach use the King Crab Sled at our Tuesday practice and he…
I just received my King Crab Sled from Gilman Gear. I’ve wanted one for about three years, when I first saw it in American Football Monthly. My initial reaction is it is going to be great. It is very compact and light. My 8 year old and 11 year old brought in the box and once…
