Introduction to Offensive Schemes It is said that great offense puts people in the stands, but great defense wins championships. To be successful on the field of play you need to be solid in both phases of the game as well as in special teams. It is important to plan how your team is going to approach the game from an offensive point of view. What type of offense will you be; a tough grind it out running team or perhaps a wide open spread team that wants to throw on every down? The key to answering that question is a core understanding of what your strengths and weaknesses are as a coach. Coaches must always be learning and educating themselves on the basic fundamentals of the game. They must always pursue better ways to teach fundamentals and manage practices and games. Therefore, the best offense to run for your team is the offense you can best teach, and most importantly, the offense your players can learn and execute. The best coaches put players in positions conducive to their skill-sets, ensuring the best chances for success. Kids will respond to being successful; they’ll enjoy their experience and continue to play this great game. ScheMe Offensive schemes have evolved over time and they continue to evolve every fall with new twists and wrinkles to basic schemes. While scheme is important in that it does give your team an approach – a philosophy if you will – the most important element to scheme is being fundamentally sound in your approach. The basic fundamentals of stance, first step, blocking, ball security, and the Center-Quarterback snap exchange must be worked on every day. Never think of these things as the “little things” but rather these are the “important things.” Teams that do those things the best are almost always more successful. For this playbook we have employed the very popular Spread Formation. We understand that some may think a Spread Offense is too advanced for younger players, however, if you teach the basic fundamentals well and your players understand the importance of stance, blocking and ball security, this offense can prove to be successful and extremely fun for kids to play.
