What Plays?
Got the follwoing email from a coach:
Coach Freeb,
What plays would you run from the EQ with 10-12 year olds?
John
Here's my answer:
What would we run at that age would be........Dive - Base Play; Dive Option when the DE is stepping down to tackle the FB.
First, we would narrow down the splits of the line to not allow any insider penetrators; we would be at 1 foot or even 6 inches. Then we would have the FB state at a depth of 4 yards and time things up from there. Then we would have the TB be at 6 yards to start.
Dive Option is really a play off of the most successful play at the 10 year old level, i.e, the QB sweep. Only difference? We put a fake to the FB in on the way around the end to freeze the defense; that way the QB can gain more yardage out there.
BTW - at the end of the run, if the QB is threatened by a tackler, just pitch the ball back to a trailing TB for more yardage.
Blast 34 to pick up short yardage; counter 49; and 89 reverse with the Split End coming around if you have a SE that has some speed. It is as effective as a QB sweep.
Final running play: TB Sweep from the offset I.
For pass plays I would run the Dive Option 48 pass, Quick pass one, two and three, looking to get the ball to the inside receivers in the seam at a depth of 8-9 yards and let them run with it after that.

Urban's Way
I picked up the book, Urban's Way, to read on the plane. It is about Urban Meyer and his coaching journey. Very Good. I would recommend that all you involved in coaching go out and get a personal copy.
He makes repeated references to weight training and conditioning. As a 115 pound Frosh, he said he used the weights as his 'secret weapon' to transform him to a 175 pound starter that put him on the path to signing a pro baseball contract and a free safety in college.
After reading the book, or even before, call BFS and schedule up a clinic to transform your skinny freshmen in to varsity athletes. It will change their lives and transform your program.
