Same Flag Football Concept. Different Formations.
Any of FirstDown PlayBooks’ flag football coaches know that there are some flag football concepts that show up in multiple formations. The reason is simple. Your approach with concepts should be the same as any football coach. First find passing game concepts that you do well. After that find as many ways as possible to run them. A great way to get this done is with different formations.
Running the same flag football concept from several different formations can help you look complicated but stay simple for your players. One of the worst things that can happen to a flag football offense is that you find your team playing slow. Much of the time your players are playing slow because they are thinking instead of executing.
This is why you want to find a way to incorporate the same flag football concepts into your passing game from different formations. The first person to thank you will be your quarterback. There are so many ways to run a simple concept like Snag.
When you run a passing game concept over and over the quarterback begins to think of the routes as spots. He or she knows that regardless of the formation, the receivers are going to be in these two or three spots. So regardless of if you run the play from Twins or Trips formation, the quarterback looks for the same thing.
