Most of the others you are on your own.good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollad6636 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2008 We actually do have some pretty good information for the single wing offense. Take a look at our Winning Youth Football Program Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wise Youth Coach 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2008 I coach a 7-8 year old team. We have used the Wishbone the last two seasons and have went 13-1 (the loss coming after our QB broke his arm last season). The offense is simple to teach and you can use dives, powers, bootlegs, misdirection, and passes from it. It's a very flexible offense with alot of possibilities.
