The #1 Tool for Youth Football Coaches

As if the Single Wing offense was not hard enough to defend, there are some sneaky ways to create trick plays off of it as well. Today’s Pop Warner aged play come from our youth football Single Wing formation section.

If you run this offense you know that teams are going to begin to overload the unbalanced wing side. This is good coaching on their part because this formation is designed to take advantage of a defense that will not adjust.

However, even if a defense adjusts to the Single Wing they are going to have to understand who is eligible and defend it. This is a nice little trick play that is easy to execute and helps keep the defense honest. It can also fit into other schemes you have to run the Buck Sweep.
