Have 4 basic formations; give all of your playmakers a number, i.e. WR 1 = 1; WR 2=2; RB=3; QB=Q. Now, teach them your routes; i.e., stop, go, slant, and go; turn around, etc. I play 9/10 year olds; no huddle. So a basic formation would be gunslinger == 3 wides; I want to go deep, so I call Gunslinger 1 go; motion 2 and 3 to the other side; slant. Next play, Gunslinger with the 3 getting the ball on motion; so call Gunslinger 3 Ace next play, I want a naked bootleg to Q; motion all 3 receivers to the other side; call Eyes on Q FYI -- that was the set of plays I called today and got a touch down You don't need play cards or wrist bands; just make sure your kids know their numbers and listen to the play call at the lines -- WE NEVER HUDDLE.
