My teams usually face 2-1-2 (Cover 2), 1-3-1 (Cover 3), and 3-2 (Cover 2) formations.
What are some of your favorite concepts or plays to attack each of these formations?
Coaches — How Is Your 9U NFL Flag Playbook Set Up?
Do you organize your plays by coverage, down & distance, or mostly by formation?
I’m looking to improve my playbook. I have hundreds of plays, but realistically we probably only use 12–20 plays all season.
Curious how other coaches organize their playbooks and keep things simple for the kids.
9U Offense Play Help — 2-3 Options, Keep It Simple
I get a new QB every season, so it’s tough to keep building the offense year after year.
Coaches, what are a few core plays you run every season that work well with a new QB?
I’m looking for plays with just 2-3 options. Something simple enough for 9U, but that we can run from different looks or make small variations so the defense doesn’t know exactly what’s coming.
Our season just ended, and a few of my players told me they want to keep working and improving over the summer.
What drills or activities would you recommend?
How often should they train each week?
Hey coaches, I’m back looking for some help.
If I run this defense, who is responsible for QB1 and QB2 after the handoff ?
Can someone share one or two plays they use against man coverage ?
Looking for quick-game ideas or runs that hold up against heavy pressure. What’s worked for you ?
Does anyone have effective bunch formation plays they’re willing to share ?
Coach question—How are you handling the RB-to-QB exchange (option look) ?
If you know the RB is handing to the QB to give him the option to run or pass, are you still bringing pressure off the snap, or are you coaching your linebacker to slow play it and attack once the exchange happens ?
Seeing a lot of trips formations and trying to tighten up our answers. How are you guys handling it in 5v5 flag ?
It looks like Cover 2 pre-snap, but after the snap it rotates into something that plays like Cover 3. What routes or plays work best against it ?
*Sorry my kids drew it for me*
Coaches, what’s the best way to attack Cover 2 with a middle blitzer.
