In youth football sometimes we do things for the long term benefit of the team that may have minimal short-term benefits.
One of these things may be the trick plays we add to our playbook football near the end of each season. We often put on a trick play or two in the last third of the season just to keep interest levels high and children to use as carrots for meeting certain goals soccer practice. All We know that kids get in a groove as the season progresses, which is good, but you can also get monotonous and crush a bit of enthusiasm we like our teams have. Add a trick play at this point in the season, if it works or not, or even if it only runs once, it is probably the wise thing to do.
You may have seen a trick play at the entrance of your DVD emphasizes that is not in the playbook of the book. In the clinics that I do, I always play a highlight reel before and during breaks. That play always seems to come even veteran coaches laughing and pointing.
This is how we to play football ridiculous that kids love and ask for, the Pass of "flap-jack." It is one we play taken from Jeff Bayeral team Menominee High School Frosh:
Lining up in our traditional double tight set snap to the defense for what appears to be another fullback Play wedge, our blockade snap back in the turns his back to the line of scrimmage and as the fullback goes through the blockade on his way back to the line, hands the ball to fullback blocking back. The defense continues at a fake and plunges into the line. The blocking back once you take control of the ball gets back to the line of scrimmage and only throws the 2-band ball blindly back, tip to tip and with a fairly high arch. The receiver is expecting a far left has been left on a slope 8 yards. Since the "pass" is blind must have a bit of an arc so that the left can run the program low, since the pass is rare in white. The line forms a wedge only offensive, but does not make the field under the wedge. We run this in situations where the goal line, another team is waiting for a wedge play and safety is playing up.
In 2006 we find this game 4 times and completed in March, they were all extra point plays in games, so we had in his hand. Children and parents were all smiles. Most sailors have lost their uniqueness, have been made and remade. The pass is flap really doubt ANYONE making in his league has seen before and unless they are playing his team will not see again. Here is another youth football teams version of the play: flap takes to pass. Still I have to find a way to upload my own clips on YouTube, sorry guys, our children are better, you just take my word for it if I have my DVD yet.
While I'm not a big fan of trick plays in youth football, it served its purpose for our team. We have two kick returns trick that works for rapid response in the games, all the momentum of games often changes with big special teams plays just after ratings. Although they had left behind in just six games in the last six years and have not come to use these returns often, of the 12 or so times they have run these statements in the past six years, who scored five of them.
