The Newest Offensive Football Weapon
Jul 29th, 2008 by Coach DeLorm
So I was checking my yahoo mail the other day and came across this news post for a new offense that a California high school team has come up with. When I watched the video I was amazed to see the formations of that this team was pulling off. The package utilizes the whole field rather then the traditional cloud of dust and gain a couple of yards. Over my years of coaching I have seen the game go from very conservative to coaches now going against the grain in order to gain that advantage or their opponent. Nowadays you have to use the how field and force the defenders to cover much more ground. If you are in the a conference or league that is very conservative then you need to go against that and you will see big gains. The team, Piedmont High School, plays against teams with enrollments a couple thousand when they have barely 1,000 kids. So the coaches sat down a couple of summers ago and came up with the A-11 offensive package. Here is the website for the offense in case you want to learn more. it is very cutting edge, but if numerous college and pro teams have come to visit this small high school then they must be doing something right.
Here is a video about the offense:
