The key to a consistent offense is execution.

Good execution comes with the repetition of plays in practice. All youth football plays need to be practiced several times each practice. The offensive linemen must understand their blocking assignments while the backfield must execute their assignments. Also, should a starting skilled position or lineman go down, backup players must know what they are doing. Time after time I see offenses fall apart when starting players get injured and backups have to come in.

Having a successful offense in youth football requires calling the right plays. If you call a sweep play, and the defense is stacked outside to defend a sweep- why waste a play and run into the defense? You have to call a play where the offense has the best chance for success. Have coaches watch the opposing defenses to see how they are reacting to your plays. Also, as the game begins have a coach write down their defensive alignment to your offensive formation. This will help you evaluate and attack the area of the defense which will give your offense the best chance success.

My team uses a great deal of no-huddle offense during games. This helps us tremendously with our offensive consistency as it allows us to call the right plays every time. We attack where we outnumber or outflank the defense. If you call a play make sure you have some kind of check out in case the defense is aligned to stop the play. The only time you get away with bad play calling is when you have a stud team or running back.

Tip: Do not call plays just to call them, call plays that will give your offense the best chance for success.

Have a good offensive system. Having an offensive series of plays is the best way to go in youth football. When you have a series of plays each play will set the previous play up. For example, with my Wing T Jet Series offense, our jet sweep is our bread and butter. Once a youth football defense starts overplaying the jet sweep it opens them up for our trap, power, counter and weak iso plays. If you have a good system of plays the defense will block themselves. Use your coaches, have them watch certain positions to see how they are reacting. This will allow you to know how to use their defensive aggression against them.

Delaware Wing T Offense

Wing T Offense-Buck Sweep

The buck sweep is the trademark of the wing t youth football offense. Buck sweep, the traditional 100 series- blue formation (100 series means bucks sweep, blue means tight-end/wing-back flank is to the left) which all you wing t coaches know about. The buck sweep is still used by many wing t coaches, both on the youth football and high school football level. Let’s not forget the Delaware Wing T offense, coached by Coach Harold Raymond, who made the wing t famous.

This play has 5 down offensive linemen, 2 wing-backs, 1 fullback, 1 tight-end and 1 split-end. This play attacks the edge of the defense. Buck uses down blocks and pulls guards to kick out the outside defenders. This play is designed to out flank the defense. The tight-end and wing-back splits are lined about a foot wider. This will create a natural running lane, as well as great blocking angles on the defense. Play-side linemen down block, both guards pull kicking out any defenders outside the C-gap (7-9 techniques). The key to this play is the down blocks by the tight-end and offensive tackle, along with the kick-out blocks. These blocks will make a tunnel for the running back to take it right up the field. Run to the flanks all day! Make the defense shift, or get beat! When they shift, it sets up the other plays in the wing t series.

The Wing T Offense-Buck Sweep has come a long way. There are now many youth football coaches that implement motions, which only adds further deception and explosiveness to this offense.
