I am new to coaching flag football and have a group of kids that have not played before. We are competing against some teams that are very experienced in flag and full contact football and got ripped this past weekend. The plays I have drawn up seem to be effective (execution is poor) against teams that do not stay home on defense, but the team we played last was very disciplined with their responsibilities and it resulted in very few positive plays. Misdirection plays didn't work, reverses didn't work, dives didn't work, and passes were intercepted repeatedly. I have devised an armband system by which each offensive position has a unique color. The plays are drawn on flash cards (each position color coded) and each player looks at the play and follows the movement. I tried tomake this simple, but it seems that even with this they get confused with where to line up and what to do. I would appreciate any suggestions on the following: Plays that work against a disciplined zone defense. Drills that help with running routes, understanding defensive responsibilities (staying home) Anything that is helpful for kids with no expereince. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
