So I stumbled onto a concept that I never realized about the no huddle offense. Teams like Oregon are trying to stretch the field left and right and horizontally with the intention of wearing the other teams down. They spread out who gets the ball and they play fast, but when you run a screen pass, half of your team doesn't have to run to the other side of the field, but their team does. From at least safety to middle line backer they have to chase down the player. And many defensive ends and corners will try and get in on plays at the youth level by running across the field. I would think that this concept is even more potent at this age as the starters go both ways. I'm considering trying an offense that is specifically geared towards achieving exhaustion while keeping my kids fresh. I especially like it because I always feel like we're out sized by the biggest kids on the block.
The plays that most strikingly have that characteristic, other than the ones mentioned off swing passes, are quick pitches out of the backfield, especially off rocket motion.
From a wing T formation, you can run jet and quick pitch away from the wing side, and rocket toward the wing side. They may call some of these end runs "sweeps", but they really aren't.
Cisar did this with ubsw. I did this with pro style, dcwt, spread, and pistol.
The pace you set is crippling to allow of teams who are not conditioned, especially when you're driving.
We had personnel packages and subbed almost every play, and our play calls were short. Our goal was to be lined up and In cadence around 10-12 secs after ball is spotted. If we wanted to go faster, we would call "mayday" keep the personel on the field and run a " core 4 play". Now we wanted to be on the ball I'm cadence within 5 secs of ball spot.
We also had to practice fast to get ready to be able to do this. That's the most difficult part, but once your guys are running at a good pace the game just plays different.
Rant over lol sorry
I can explain it to you, I can't understand if for you.
The school I'm at now had been a really successful up-tempo team prior to my arrival. The OC decided we are going back to that style. We had our O staff meeting last week to discuss how we're going to implement it. The main topic was the adjustments to how we will have to practice this year. The changes to our practice are fairly drastic. There were a lot of things I hadn't considered. I think it will be fun but there is going to be an adjustment period for sure.
I'm accustomed to being able to coach/fix things between plays during team time...that won't be a thing going forward...at least not during team.
