Well coach Clark is 100% right on with that assessment and he’s said it much better than I ever could. Every year the teams that give us the most trouble don’t have a 100 page West Coast Offense playbooks, they run 5-6 integrated plays to near perfection. Now they may run a few of those plays out of a different set, like unbalanced or with a slot, cross block or nasty adjustment, but in the end they are running 5-6 perfect plays. Football plays they know they can run, run effectively, and can attack every gap with. So far this season we are 5-1 and the one loss was to a team that ran their 5-6 base plays to perfection and made us pay for the few mistakes we did make.

A simple drill for a hand off is to line up all of your running backs in two lines facing each other in what we will call line A and Line B. At the coaches signal player A leaves line A running with the football towards line B. In sync with that first player, a second …

Basic ball security can be broken down into four steps. The first point is the claw, meaning that your fingers are wrapped over the tip of the football. The second point is your forearm wrapped around the ball and shielding it from the defense. Third, pull the football in close to your bicep to protect it from opponent’s jabs and attempts to make you fumble. Fourth, pull the football up and tight against your ribcage closing the gap on the football from all four sides. Practice holding the football and having defensive players try and knock out the football by any means possible. By reducing the risk of a fumble you will increase the offensive strength in effectively driving across the field and scoring touchdowns. Conditioning: Quick step crossing Reaction is as skill that players need to develop through conditioning and drills.
