high school option football

[SpaceCowboy]

The triple option. The hardest to perfect and the deadliest on the field.

Blue 21 sally at 7, your name alone suggest a great counter play. If you are a good enough couch, and have smart enough kids to run all those plays and formations I would like to know how you get really good at all of them. Of course the inside veer, outside veer are tripple options are'nt they? The mid- line is known as the double option. I will run 80% of my offense from one formation, double slot no tight end with different motion. I will run playaction passes, counter iso m-line tripple optin and speed, bring in te run load off tackle iso, sweeps. condense4 splits for pass, iso plays. Shotgun for 2 min drills. That is pretty much my offense. Only have numbers for iso plays ex. 34 lead. every thing else is m-line right,left sweep left or right speed right or left counter left or right m-line pass right, left so on easy for kids to remember.

simple and easy, practice makes perfect. just like anything else you want to learn, repeition repetition repetition. I think i read your post right, but did you say you were going to mainly run one formation? When i start running my own offense when I'm a head coach one day, i'll do kind of the same thing. I'd like to run 3 WR's, 1 TE, and 1 RB. With that personel, you can drop back in the shotgun and throw the ball as well. Plus you've got 4 immediate threats down the field.

thanks a bunch. I am going to try to order the entire package as soon as my wife lets me. ha ha

Option football is the best. If you are going to run the option in high school you better run the midline, inside veer, and the lead option. The midline may be the best play in football.

Ironknight, the counter iso off the m-line is what makes my offense work really well. If interested i will tellyou how it works apcondra @aol.com avg. 13yards

All you have to do to know that the option offense is the best for high schools is look out west...

 

DeLaSalle runs the veer...138 (?) wins in a row and counting.

One of things that I plan to do is incorporate different formations into the flexbone. What do the other coaches on the board think of using formations like double slot, one tight end/wide out, and the double tight end sets. In '99, when we ran it here, we were mostly in the double wideout, double slot set.

[possum]

I like the double slot double wide out formation. Thats our base formation as well. At Delta state we learned from Steve Campbell, who is o-coor. at mtsu, how to use a lot of different motions to keep d in check. For us double tight end did'nt work that well. We brought in a tight end every now and then and run speed to the backside, or load to te side.

POSSUM that is our base set and for me it keeps the defense balanced and you know what you are facing. Go from the no huddle and call everything on the los and that really puts the defense in a disadvantage.

[CoachDG]

I am not a big fan of the no-huddle. This is coming, of course from a defensive coach, because it keeps the defense on the sideline for some much needed rest. You guys have said what I wanted to hear. I really like the double wide set; and I like the idea of having a TE coming in for a different look. Maybe having the TE drag across the middle in a play action pass.
