This play has bailed our team out on 3rd & long, in the 2 minute drill, and as a shot play. Post-Wheel creates an easy deep-to-shallow read for the QB and has answers for any flag defense/coverage.

Mesh is a go-to passing concept in college and pro 11v11 football. No defense has been able to consistently stop it. The same goes for the 5v5 flag version. Create chaos and confusion on the defense; overwhelm them with crossing routes.

This video (and this text guide) demonstrate how to run Mesh in the 5v5 flag format, the basic routes, pre-snap reads against various defenses, and the post-snap QB read progression that will find the open receiver. Game film included at the end of the whiteboard session.

A simple zone beater that teaches your receivers proper spacing and helps your QB learn how to make a triangle read. It's the 5v5 version of the classic Y-Cross built for flag football.

In the traditional 11v11 Air Raid, the 4 Verts concept is simply called "6". As in, this play can get us 6 points anytime we call it.

The 5v5 version is no different. Three Verts tests your opponent's defense deep forcing them to respect your QB's arm. If they don't, it's 6 points for the good guys.

This video details the basic assignments, reads, timing, and execution needed to run it successfully.

I'm a certified Air Raid Offensive Coordinator who spent the last seven seasons developing a version of the Air Raid for my son's 5v5 youth team. Using just six offensive plays and five practice drills, our team of neighborhood kids holds their own against some of the best teams in our city.

If your team needs to score more points, start by getting a read of the defense. From there, you can pick them apart using the Air Raid 5v5 playbook.
