8. There are many youth football coaches that will shy away from the spread offense. The main reason why is the snap. Coaches tend to be scared of fumbled and/or mishandled snaps. When coaches hear the word “spread” they think passing offense. I hope to show you with this presentation that you can both run the football and pass the football successfully from the spread sets. With efficient practice reps there will be no snapping issues. What I like about the spread is that the quarterback can see the field and the defense much easier. Say the defense is showing blitz, quarterbacks tend to pull out early from under center and fumble, because they are anxious about the blitzing defense. The shotgun not only gives the quarterback time to see the field, but it also makes him a threat to run the ball. Another reason I favor the spread is that it helps you to get all the kids excited about playing the game. You can involve all of your skill kids in your run game and your passing game. You can also put your kids in positions or situations where they can use their athletic abilities. Kids like to throw and catch as well as run the football and the spread allows you to give the kids the opportunities to do so with success.

9. Spreading The Defense Out will create some key advantages: ● Make the defense defend the whole field ● Make them defend multi threats (5-6 threats in each play) ● The wide splits create natural running lanes and easy blocking angles. ● Great blocking angles out on the flanks ● Isolate “stud” defensive players ● Makes defenders tackle in space (extremely difficult) ● Easy read of the defense, allows a real good look where you out man or flank the defense. This will allow you to call a play where you have the advantage ● Spread them out!! When you spread the defense out and use a motion it will freeze the defense, allowing you to only have to block three-four defenders to gain yardage Using motion is a great way to get the ball carrier the ball in full stride, while working the edge of the defense. Make the defenders tackle in the open field. You can also use the motion to deceive the defense. This is a no huddle friendly offense; let the defense dictate how we will attack and beat them. If the defense wants to load the box, here comes bubble screen, sweep or play action pass. Say the defense wants to spread out with our offense and gives us a “soft box” then we hit them with: draw, iso, sweep. trap and power all day.

10. The screen game is really underrated. Bubble, smoke/tunnel, and pull screens are killers. I do not have to tell coaches how hard it is to get their players tackling well in space. You need to work three to four centers snapping from day one for depth. Yes, it does take time and reps but once they get comfortable with it, the spread offense will be a complete nightmare for coaches to stop. Our Philosophy is the Spread Offense at the Youth Level is a RUN- FIRST OFFENSE, the RUN Sets up the Pass.
