#10489 5 On 5 Initial Playbook (5-8 Year Olds)

Great feedback, I appreciate the note on the defense, that makes a lot of since.  By blocking, it is more like a 'screen' in basketball trying to get between the defense and the guy with the ball. (we just call it 'blocking' to get them used to the concept)   They can't use their hands and can't run into the defense, but they can get 'in the way'.  We do not blitz in our league, we can go over the LOS only on a hand off, pitch, or fake hand off.  The QB has 7 seconds to either pass or hand off or the play is dead, so we do pass a little more since the QB is not pressured by the defense.  Thanks again, this is my first year coaching so I appreciate any tips and hints.

OK guys, thanks again for all the input and advice on how to structure the team, I am trying to incorporate that with the rules of our local YMCA.  I have attached my initial playbook, we have had two practices and our first game is this Saturday.  Many of the plays have been adapted from much of the material posted on here.  Anyway, please take a look and let me know your thoughts, I trid to put in as much misdirection as I could as I really see this being a key factor for the 5-8 year olds division that we are in.  Thanks in advance for your comments.
