Trick Plays For Youth, Flag & High School Football
Trick Plays can be complicated. You need to have them as a changeup to your base plan. However; any good coach will get their base football plays installed and fine tuned first. What often happens is a trick play gets installed haphazardly at some point during the season. It does not get practiced enough before it gets called in a game.
The result is often a play that fools the opponent but doesn’t work very well because of poor execution. Sometimes it is executed so poorly that it ends with a lost yardage play pr a turnover.
We are not just talking about youth football teams either. This kind of thing happens with trick plays at every level of football. You are as likely to see it on TV on Saturday or Sunday as you do in Pop Warner or NFL Flag game in your neighborhood. High school football teams are not immune either.
The secret is to always be on the lookout for trick plays and special teams fakes. This way you can have a library ready when you need it. This will allow you to spend your time properly installing the plays as opposed to surfing the internet looking for them. You can also spend time coaching your scout team on the proper look you will need to run the trick play.
Every football staff we were ever on assigned one coach to be in charge of collecting any good trick plays or special teams fakes that showed up on tape that season. The reason was so that when you were looking for something to spice your offense or kicking game up a little you had them all in one area.
