We started our Winter season with the 5 on 5 Flag league here in Central Texas.

Had fun but the girls didn't seem to have it together. In practice Saturday they seemed to peak. Today a few key players were flat.

Final was 24 vs 14 and we lost.  Sad part they picked us twice and returned them for 12 points. This same coach beat me twice last season by shutting me out. He covers the run and forces us to pass which is still our weakest part.
Not sure what to do there but will keep plugging at it. Game 2 next week.

Are you in a co-ed league, or is it all girls? We have a few girls in our league (mainly coach's daughters) but some are pretty good. I have an eight-year old girl whom I can't get into sports. I know she would never play football (she hates going to her brother's games), and even finding rec all-girl soccer/basketball leagues around here is tough.

They have both co-ed and all girls leagues here. (Austin Texas area)

My team is all Girls. 8 -11 yrs old. Five girls returned from my Fall team. We were 1-5 last season. After our first game we are 0-1. I have borrowed ideas from several playbooks I have seen on here and added some of my own.

Two girls are super fast runners but they just can't seem to get past the defense. Our short pass game gets us some yards but anything longer than 10 yards just doesn't happen very often. In practice they run the routes and catch the balls. In the game they forget the routes ect and just run in circles waving their arms.
I have to work this week on getting at least one of them to run the deep route.

I have faith it will get better. My 10 yr old is on my team, so she is the coaches daughter too.. Plays center / TE and second best receiver on the team, just not very fast.

Hey Dellobo,
We play in the same league as you in the 5th/6th grade division and started our season this past weekend as well. We won 35-7, and all kids got at least 2 ball touches. Most had 3 or more and 7 of my 8 kids on the team scored either a TD or extra point.

I have a couple of new kids on our team this winter (friends of players on our team), and one is a girl who is playing QB for me this winter. She is doing great and really picking up the offense fast.

As I tell my team during practices and re-emphasized before the first game, it is the little details that make the difference. Selling the fakes hard on run fakes, etc.

We play at 4PM Sunday if you want to take a look. I'd be glad to help you out anyway I can.

So you play in the Cedar park Neighborhood Sports NFL Flag League?

If that is so then I was referring to "Hector S" as the coach we played last Sunday. We play at 2pm at Vista Ridge on field 4.

thanks. I can send you my playbook if you would like to see what i am using.

Yup.

Never played against Hector but I know he took a team to the national championships a couple years ago so I am sure he is a good coach.

Sure that sounds good.

I forgot to say we're on field 3 at Vista Ridge at 4PM.

Great, yeah his girls are disiplined and don't take fakes they just stay in their zones. Last season shut us out twice. Once regular season 19-0, and in the playoffs 6-0 with a minute left in the game.

We practice Saturdays at 11am at Cluck Creek and you are welcome to stop by and give me pointers.

Thanks again.

Well we had game 2 today and it was one of the days where it all just clicked. We won 35-0. The mercy rule kicked in and the other coach wanted to play out the clock. So at that point we had won the game. We picked them and returned it for a TD but it didn't count. There was about 5 minutes left on the clock and they finally got a TD on a pass and catch. It didn't count either.

It was 20-0 at the half and then 15 more points on the first two drives in the second half.

Everything worked like it should. They are a young team and very agressive and every fake sucked them in. Four TD's on long sweeps and one on a pass into the end zone.

With the off and on rain I couldn't get the wife to stay to watch "Texas D coach" game at 4pm.

We will see against the Cowboys next week.

We played a good team today and ended up losing 15-7. We had the game tied 7-7 up until 3 minutes left in the game, and then the other team scored on a long run where we missed som flags. They scored the 2 pt conversion to beat us by 8.

I did watch a little of your game dellobo. The girls looked very good today. Those sweeps were money every time it seemed.

Sorry the Chargers didn't pull it out.

Yeah until they stopped the game we scored on every posession except one that we turned the ball over on a interception. They had a first on about our 10 yard line and we stopped them from scoring.

At that point it was 13-0 and we came back and got one more before the half.

My daughter the center / TE on a third and 20 caught a little out pass and ran down to their 10 before they caught up with her. A few plays later she caught a TD pass.

Try to catch one of your games next week.

Dellobo,
I saw your girls running down the field on some long runs again yesterday. Looks like you definitely have things figured out now.

Good luck against Hector's team next week.

We played the Cowboys and won 28-0. After we got 28 they called the game and they got one chance to move the ball and we stopped them. Then they gave them 3 more chances at scrimmage mode.

Game 3

I wish Hectors team was not coached so well... Next week it will be a shot at first and maybe the 4th time is the one I will get past him.. He is 3-0.

How did your game go?

How did your game go?

We won 32-0.

Like you we will be playing the only undefeated team in our league. I watched them play and they have some older kids who are really disciplined and some smaller kids who are very fast and shifty.

It should be exciting!!

Good Luck (we'll both need it I think).
