Questions About Calling Plays....

20 October 2008 - 10:58 PM

Hello
I知 a first year coach of the 5-on-5 twelve to fourteen year old team.  I致e seen some great playbooks on the side and have found some other sources as well.  We have first practice Sunday that we will have a first game this Sunday.  I think I did a pretty good job and tried to come up with a good first practice plan.  Now I have to prepare for the first game.  I知 wondering about the play calling.  For the twelve to fourteen year old group is it appropriate for them to call the plays from the studied playbook?  I値l still a little confused about the names of the plays.  Some information that I have read states that the playout name starts with the formation and then from left to right based on the positions the routes that the receivers will run, is this correct?  As an example split-t, curl, slant, post, halfback arrow. I致e read that the halfback route is always called at the end of the play sequence. Any help you can provide or insight would be greatly appreciated.  One other question as each play supposes to identify and the primary receiver, this would be on pass plays.  I had not assume this until I saw some of the playbooks on the site I had thought that the receivers would know the routes to run and the quarterback would look for some of the opera and I知 not have a passing lane that he can throw to now I知 saying no wonder whether each player should have a primarily and in that maybe secondary receiver any insight on this?  Thanks
