5 on 5 NFL Flag 9-11 year olds It is my first year as head coach. My boy played the last two years and I assisted, but this year he's movin' up. The problem is that in this division the coach is not allowed on the field, where in the past the coach would be in the huddle and on the field the whole time. In the past we would just have diagrams ready to go to show the kids the plays in the huddle, and the play clock wasn't too strict so it was relatively easy to communicate the plays on to the field. But now what do I do? How well can this age process information? After perusing these forumns for a while I've come accross some real nice playbooks (I really like Orange's book, and many others) and I'm wondering how I'm going to get the plays on to the field during the games. Should I huddle on the sidelines? Develop a system of play calling (e.g. Formation -> X route -> Z route -> Running Back route -> Center route)? Wrist bands? What works best. Every and All experiences are truly welcome!
