Tight Formation Balanced line with a symmetrical backfield. Perfect ten gap offensive formation. Zero line splits Provides an equal amount of power and misdirection to both sides of the center. Has a very effective passing game due to the ability to quickly release four receivers into passing routes and its ability to flood the perimeter and vertical outside.

Understanding the Points of Attack LWB (20) QB (10)/BB (30) RWB (40) Interior Edge Perimeter Three points of attack on each side of the center: interior, edge, and perimeter. I have gotten away from using GAP concepts (A, B, C, D) because of the use of angle blocking concepts often change the point of attack dependant on the defensive structure. Instead we attack a location.

Understanding the Points of Attack Interior Edge Perimeter Vertical Out Vertical Middle When you include the passing game the passes are going to be directed at the perimeter (flat), the vertical outs on each side and the vertical middle.

Basic Play Calling 9 & Below Formation Edge Motion/Strength Back Blocking Scheme Wall Side Tight Over Rip AB Seal Right With younger kids it is important that your play calling factors in the lowest common dominator on your team. Age, mental maturity, and emotional maturity are important factors. You can call a play anything as long as it makes sense to the kids.

Play Calling 9 & Above Motion/Strength Numbering Formation Edge Motion/Strength Numbering Blocking Scheme Wall Side Tight Over Rip 26 Seal Right As players mature mentally and emotionally you can start to use a more complex play calling system that allows you to be more flexible in your calling system. Again the most important element of play calling is making sure the kids understand what you want them to do. Numbering System: BACK + AT LINEMEN   QB = 10 AB = 20 BB = 30 CB = 40 7-5-3-1-0-2-4-6-8

Flipping Your Line Wall side: side that blocks the TKO wall; normally the play side for power series. Pull side: side that pulls and cross blocks; normally the back side for the power series. Allows you to maximize your big boys on the wall side and your athletes on the pull side. Decreases the time it takes to install plays. Linemen still get an equal amount of training wall blocking (TKO) and pulling during INDY time.

Altering the Edge! Three players on each side of the that can immediately affect the perimeter. The ability to manipulate these three defenders via edge tags, formation tags, and play calling is one of the key advantages of the YDW. Applying stress to the perimeter triangle is a key concept of the YDW. The perimeter triangle is typically manned by the: defensive end (DE), cornerback (CB) outside linebacker (OLB). (sometimes a Safety) If you can’t block a defender post-snap on the edge remove him pre-snap. Make your play calling easier and make your player’s execution easier by simply removing or expanding the defenders away from the play.

Edge Tags Edge Tag Purpose On: WB moves onto the LOS foot to foot with near side tight end and part of the wall. Isolate perimeter triangle from interior defenders. Expand TKO WALL to move EMLOS/DE out. Over: pulling tackle aligns on the wall side in between the wall tackle and wall tight end. Same as ON (above). Create an unbalanced line. Put the PST (pulling side tackle) over to the wall side to add additional blocker at POA. Offset: BB shifts under the wall side guard. Put the BB closer to the edge to speed up his kick out block and his release into the flat. Nasty: WB and Wall TE swap positions. Isolate perimeter triangle from interior defenders by putting the EMLOS/DE into an alignment conflict. Loose: Tight end moves out to a SE position and the WB aligns in a SLOT position. Stress the perimeter triangle by forcing it to expand outward. It forces the CB and often the OLB to move out with the pair. Bunch: Tight end moves out to a SE #2 receiver from outside, near WB moves to the #1 flanker position, and the far WB (TB) moves to the #3 slot receiver position inside. Stress the perimeter triangle and the secondary coverage to expand outward. It often forces the CB, OLB, and ILB to move out with 3x RXR. Trips: Tight end moves to #1 split end position, near WB moves to the #2 flanker position, and far WB moves to the #3 slot position. Same as BUNCH but we align our SE and Flanker in different positions and the are more spread out. Split: Tight end moves to the split end position and the near WB moves to the outside of the near offensive tackle. Forces the CB to displace and move out with the SE. Allowing you to remove a defender from the edge. Flank: same as the Split but the WB now splits. Forces the CB to move out with the wingback . Brick: BB shifts to the flanker position. Removes the CB while leaving the WB in place.
