OK...so I coach in a 5 on 5 league of 9 and 10 year olds. This year, I have 27 plays and have them all on a wrist-coach. I yell out the number that corresponds to the numbered play on the wristband.....and for some reason there is still MASS confusion. We only have 5 formations (Ace, trips left, trips right, twins left, and twins right) and 5 routes (stop, go, slant, now & drag). My players tend to forget their routes almost immediately, have trouble lining up in the right spot and my qb (the kid with the best arm) has decision-making issues. I only have 30 seconds in between plays and I'm not allowed on the field. What do you all suggests? Do I shrink my playbook? Do I display each play on a full-size piece of paper and have them come to the sideline on every down? Keep in mind, making a switch at QB is not an option. We only have 2 kids that can throw and the other one is the best athlete on the team, so I would be taking away a HUGE part of our offense. We are 1-3 (lost the first game by 6, second game by 1, and fourth game by 8)....we lost all three games ourselves with blown assignments, interceptions and sleep-walking....PLEASE HELP. Thx!
