Choosing a Youth Football Offense Part 1 Important Variables

Choosing a Youth Football Offense is a tough decision for a new youth football coach and an experienced one too. Recently, I went down the Rabbit Hole to try find the magic solution or hidden door to answer this difficult question. In my research, many coaches will tell me what they think is the simplest or best youth offense and it is mainly the offense they already know. In a past blog post I did write about what I think are the Best Offenses for youth football. So even I will have a bias but hoping to but that behind me for this multi part article on Choosing a Youth Football Offense. In this multi part article on Choosing a Youth Football Offense I am trying to move past my internal bias and look at choosing a youth football offenses based on about 25 variables that keep coming up when I talk to youth football coaches. I define youth football from 5u to 12u, not really 7th and 8th grade ball. I would also like to thank many of the coaches in my Facebook groups and the Wing-T, Single Wing and Double Wing Facebook Groups for some great feedback and also thank Coach Kessler and Green for their thoughtful input.
