5v5 Flag Football Twins Formation
Twins formation is next 5v5 flag football formation you want to install after the Deuce formation. This is a natural fit with the Deuce because you simply move your back from the backfield to the slot. This allows you to coach your same NFL Flag player to now line up as a slot receiver to one side or the other.
5v5 Twins formation gives you the ability to run combination routes on one side or the other. You have two man combinations but you also now have three man combinations. The man coverage defense has to fight through rubs and picks or elect to play zone coverage. Most 5v5 flag defenses will play man coverage.
Quick crossing routes are hard for a man coverage defense to cover. You will learn to adjust your receivers’ splits to the Twins side to give you an advantage for the route combination you have called. Also, don’t forget you still have that great one on one matchup to the single receiver side. This is the same thing you get with the FirstDown PlayBook Wide formation.
