I wish Whitley would start making all of the elementary teams run the same offense, and it should be an offense designed to show them how to run whatever the high school will be running.

In the elementary games right now you have 6 different coaches with 6 different ideas, most of the time not knowing what there doing, and when they all come together as seventh graders, the kids are lost because they have to learn something completely new that theyll only be running for two years.

Gut I respectfully disagree however you are close, There are certain fundementals that hold true with football wheather you run or throw the ball or what ever formation you might want to run out of. If your a option team the fundementals are the same however if you as a coach on whatever level are forced to run set football I don't think you are going to be a happy camper.. Gut I have a few ideas you might be interested in. # 1 I think you are going to have to compensate a coach and maybe two through teacher hire or and fund raising. You need an athletic director to screen these coaches and make the decisions based soly on ability and no politics. after these coaches are in place. Then you should have your varsity coaching staff to implement a set of fundamental standards that would be conducive to the coaches football philosophy. Example if I were the coach I would put in rule 1 you must make every effort to run defense and offense unit. not force coaches to play kids certain amount lets face it football is not for every one. I may lower the goal post, and widen it. I may give 2 points for kicked extra points and 1 for run. I would require 50 50 pass and run. I can think of 50 drills that would teach both I can think of lots of ways to make it fun for the kids. Old screaming cussing coaches are done. You must make it fun for the kids (and rewarding) You must coach every child all the time he is there or he is gone. The child can't be left sitting on his head gear watching, won't work JUST A FEW THOUGHTS Gut I admire your concern and devotion to your school I believe with concerned fans like you it will eventually work.
