[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 55976, member: 1376"] Depends on a lot of things for example: Age group- 12 and under not much passing because (1) can't spend the practice time to learn pass blocking which is the hardest to teach (2) passer can't throw it far enough to get it out of range of even where the defense initially lines up (3) kids naturally learn pass defense in the back yard and will intercept things over the middle too often (4) pass rush will expose your QB to being injured. At the younger age you have to use the CPJ philosophy...throw it when not expected off play action before the pass rush gets to the passer. Number of players on the team- one goal with youth sports is to play everybody regardless of ability. If you have a lot of players (more than 22) you need to start about 16 players, probably the best 11 on defense and the next 5 on the OL, if you want to win! That means primary blocking at the point of attack comes from much help from the backs which are the best players . A power -I or some version of a two back attack with a tight wing back can get some quality blockers in play. The primary problem with youth football is not coaching the best 11. It is what is the scheme best to utilize the unexperienced and untalented majority.. something most novice coaches do not recognize. Another issue- most youth coaches are not pro and their experience is very limited. You should only coach what you know so you can't just wing it. Getting cooperative quality help (assistant coaches) may be the biggest challenge. [/QUOTE]
