Here is my take on this...for what it is worth. You are born with a genetic ceiling some kids have a much higher ceiling than others for various reasons. But it takes hard work, dedication, and the desire to succeed on the part of the athlete and a good line of coaches training that young athlete to truly maximize the athlete's ceiling. My take on that is that is only a very very small percentage of athletes actually ever reach their true genetic ceiling due to poor training...poor PE programs (I mean we have some of the worst PE programs in the entire world and it is only getting worse). I spend a lot of time doing athletic development with my kids and the payoff is huge as they reach their HS years. It reduces injuries, increase the likelihood of increased athletic performance, and more importantly it gives them self-confidence in their ability to push themselves beyond their normal limits which is something most young athletes don't get at the lower levels. The sooner you start a broad based athletic development program with your kids the better off they will be...let them play a variety of sports because the more movement skills they learn and master the more they improve on that athletic ability. So in the nutshell...you are born with it but it takes good coaching and drive to maximize it. Jack

Coach, I have seen 6 and 7 year olds run the Single Wing and with great success. In a lot of ways the offense simplifies a lot of things in the backfield for you. It really comes down to how comfortable you are as a coach in coaching this or anything else. Kids can typically run anything you teach them as long as you spend the time in developing it so that it will work for you at that level. You also have the choice of getting someone's stuff that has already spent that time developing a system for that age level as well. Dave Ciser's stuff is SW and developed specifically for the youth level. Jack

Coach you can go to www.gregorydoublewing.com and you download some free playbooks on there from my Article page. There is tons of stuff on my article page. A lot of it from me and a lot from other coaches as well that have allowed me to post it there for your access. The FORUM PLAYBOOK and JJ Lawon's OLINE MANUAL are on the ARTICLE page...download those and read them...they are free and work great as a stand alone offense. Also if you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here or IM or email me and I would be more then happy to answer any question you have to get you up an running. Take care. Jack

Coach, If you go to my website at www.gregorydoublewing.com and go down to JJ Lawson's "Coaching a Dominant Offensive Line" that will help you a lot. It has a blocking progression called LEG that teaches you how to develop the movement you want. There are plenty of other resources on blocking on that page as well. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Jack

Coach as long as they are not on the line of scrimmage they can be facing their own goal line as far as the rules are concerned. And they don't have to mirror one and another. Whoever is telling you this doesn't not understand the rules (both NFHS and NCAA). Jack

Aggressive attitude in football comes from two things; a natural tendancy to be aggressive and experience. Kids that are naturally aggressive are gold on a football team but more often then not most kids have to learn how to be aggressive and a lot of that comes from being confident in what they are doing (scheme and technique wise) and being instinctive instead of trying to walk through what they are supposed to do. 1) Limit their responsibilities so that they can easily cycle through their job and then get there. 2) Rep, rep, and more reps in tackling and pursuit as well as their technique. 3) Make sure your defensive scheme is sound because often when players try to do another persons job (make up) it takes their ability to be aggressive out of the equation. 4) Introduce games like power ball, deer hunter, king of the ring, and other combat related drills that allow kids to go get after someone..
