Sounds like you did fairly well considering the obstacles, plus the Double Wing could be your ace in the hole. If the other Coaches haven't seen it much they will probably bring 8-9 kids up in the box......which will be just what you want.
Since they have already been in pads are you able to go full pads from day 1 as a team? |
Yes that is the biggest problem in youth sports, parents and manipulating the rules in their favor.
In the 8-9 age groups misdirections are money. The defense usually fast flow to the ball and oops someone pops out the backside. I also found cross blocking to be more effective then wedge blocking. 5-3 defenses are the rage, your have your tackle down block the nose and your guard kicks the tackle and the lead backs hit the LB... 4yds min everytime!
