Deuce formation is going to be a part of your 5v5 flag football offense. That is just a fact. It is the staple of almost any 5v5 flag offense. Now you might call it something different but you will line up with two receivers to each side and a running back. The other things it is called is Doubles, maybe Duo, but you get the picture.

There is a reason it is the staple. This 5v5 flag football formation gives you balance. As we just mentioned it gives you a balance with your receivers but there’s more to it than that. Deuce 5v5 flag football formation gives you balance with the run and pass too. You can hand the ball off. Stretching the field with the pass game is easy. You can also combine the two!

The defense has no choice but to balance up with you. This means that you can look for advantageous personnel matchups in the pass game. About the time the defense focuses on that you have a running back you can hand it off to. This balance keeps defenses honest.
