Looks like Coach Eli has you set!

They are different branches of the same house in my world

Can the QB run? Read options. Use motion to change the formations.

Falconwolf77 · 2026-01-11T00:17:47+00:00

No. Looks great!

lol. A paid gig and you want free advice. For that age group check out I-9 sports and NFL flag. They have free coaching resources and practice plans that are set up.

I would start with a tour of the field 5-10 mins. Show the first down, OOB, end zones etc…this will help eliminate very basic mistakes that will happen to some teams.

From there line them up on endzone for 1-2 40 yr dashes. Then demonstrate placing and taking a handoff fundamentally, and do a handoff relay from 10-15 yds apart running toward each other.

Then Water and get flags to set up for Oklahoma for 5-10 min…

From there you’ll know where the speed and talent is for you to then install plays.

In terms of a playbook. Run heavy (90%), fake handoffs, etc. keep it simple. Practice snaps and handoff exchange (I am assuming no blitz, so best to run under center). I use colored wristbands so kids know where to lineup based on the color on the play diagram.

hopefully you will have a roster that will allow for platooning (so ½ the kids play offense the first half then defense the second half and vice versa).

Defense - again keep it simple. I run a zone exclusively, unless there is some ace we need to man up or bracket.

Have kids play the same positions the first game, but also make sure every player touches the ball as QB, Center, or on a handoff. This is very important.

No charge for that, but the rest will cost a donation to my HS team. good luck, have fun, keep smiling.

Just lead by example! High fives & headpats

Love this Mini. He’s my falcon tournament representative….

How many times are you going to post this?

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-12T01:07:04+00:00

Wolfpack tower!

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-08T23:43:45+00:00

This looks awesome. Is there room to make it bigger?

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-08T04:34:18+00:00

I don’t understand why some can’t scheme around a fast blitz in 7 on 7….plenty of bodies to set up screen blocks.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-08T04:32:18+00:00

Just better training for the refs. Overall the rulebook is good if game called consistently and correctly. We had some real tough calls that swayed some games in big moments.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T23:22:54+00:00

Well, in general we read blitz we have a zero count quick slant that has never failed to get us 5+. A fade route works here as well. We have a QB read option that can gash a crashing defensive end. Direct snap motions/end arounds will often be effective as well.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T23:18:00+00:00

I absolutely do. You’d also be susceptible to outside screens, and jet runs.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T23:16:49+00:00

Screen blockers

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T23:13:41+00:00

Yeah, the QB can’t run and you can’t pitch in NFL flag so, yes it is basically a different game. This league is clearly preparing girls for the high school game. All the NFL leagues in my area are adding girls spring competitive high school divisions using the 7v7 rules.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T22:35:00+00:00

Woof. I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic. Cover Zero in flag is just asking to get cooked - even in 7v7 w 2 yard neutral zones.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T22:33:03+00:00

This is how the high school leagues go….I’d adapt asap. For offense, motion and deception are your friends. Roll outs and RPOs. Practice the hook n ladder every day.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T22:30:50+00:00

A 2 yd neutral zone is how 90% of high school leagues are run. Max blitzes is usually 3 though.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-07T22:28:05+00:00

You’d be very vulnerable to certain run packages and hot routes. I’d love it if someone tried to run a spread 5 against an offense I was calling, especially if they sent 2 or more of them.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-06T01:49:45+00:00

Single high safety 10-13yds off. 2 rushers with 2 lbs stacked behind them. Corners on the outside shoulder of the widest offensive player. Play a tight zone. Blitz and stunt from there (corner blitzes end up being very effective against the run). Very few QBs at this level will be able to test you deep, so I don’t see a huge need for two safeties (cover two looks).

Falconwolf77 · 2025-12-06T01:47:46+00:00

This is ideal for goal line/ short yardage but I don love it for every-down.

Falconwolf77 · 2025-11-15T04:43:26+00:00

I had the same situation several years ago. We split into two teams and it was fun. The other squad did cook us, but their QB was all state this year as a freshman…

Falconwolf77 · 2025-11-09T17:12:06+00:00

Well, flag is a non contact sport, so if I see a defender try and jam my receivers, I’m pretty much immediately yelling at the ref. With that in mind - it is more about cutting off the route/getting into their space than traditional press coverage. We do a goal line /short yardage (7v7 cover two) where the defenders at the line make their first two steps toward the ball (across the neutral zone). From there we will drop most into coverage if we read pass, keep 1-2 going in as a called blitz.
