Thanks guys. all those posts were helpful. our league is:
-7-10 year old with average age of 7
-only direct hand-offs behind los
-no passes behind los
-only screen blocking, no down field blocking
-QB can run and has 7 seconds to throw or play is dead.

I think we were really caught off guard last game with that defense with little pass plays under our belts.

thanks

Wow, that sucks! I'm glad our league isnt like that, we try to emulate (as close as we can) tackle football, it's about teaching them fundamentals and preparing them for the next level of football.

I dont know what age group you are coaching but i'd go with misdirection, maybe a reverse or even a double reverse to try and get the defense to bite on the first hand off, you could pass off that too. If you have anymore questions or would like to see what kind of play I might draw up feel free to email me kwilson512@yahoo.com

Thanks and thank you for not being the 81st person to view my post and not comment. This could be a very nice forum if there were more comments. There are very few helpful resources out there that are not market and money making driven in nature.

Yes, our misdirection fakes were bad and I think that was a problem. The Defense just sat back and waited for the ball carrier to show his cards. I am coaching 7-10 year olds. We are working on that this weekend.

thanks so much and I'd love to hear others comments also since I'm looking at posted playbooks and it would appear many defenses operate with all players off the line 5-7 yards. I'm also a 1st year coach with a only High School and PS2 NCAA Football experience!
