We had been looking at a change in our offense for quite some time. We had been an “I” formation time forever except for the one year we ran the wishbone. We had looked at both the Wing T and the Double Wing. With the tight line splits we were already using we settled on the Dwing. We fell in love with the combination of power football, mis-direction, and play action passing capability of the DW.

WHY THE DOUBLE WING?

The most asked question we got was: “Coach, why are you changing in mid season?” We were stagnant and for the first time, not doing well offensively. We had a 2-2 record and went 4-0 after we switched. We went from 16 points a game to 35 and from 275 yards of offense per game to almost 500 YPG. Our passing efficiency improved also. Good choice to switch, huh?

The coaching staff of the Giants decidedthat this online playbook may hold the the kid’s attention a little more than paper. More than once we have handed out playbooks and they have been left in the bleachers We feel you can actually pick up the movement of our plays instead of a diagram with a bunch of lines, arrows, and in general chicken scratch all over a piece of paper.

WHY AN AMINATED PLAYBOOK?

We felt with all the time kids spend at the computer nowadays, this was just a natural extension. The kids are more likely to look at this presentation. We feel it will also be useful for new assistant coaches coming into our program that are not familiar with the Double Wing (we are planning on using this system a while).

This presentation can be useful on the days we can’t practice. We can set it up in the classroom on a projector and show it to the group as a whole and answer any questions.

The coaching staff will teach how we want to run our plays and tips and techniques to help us execute the Double Wing. When we start practicing and other people see this “weird” formation they will think we have lost our minds. We ask you trust us and you will see it is an exciting offense that is fun to use.

Now, let’s start learning about the Double Wing we will use. Other teams may run it differently, but we have found this way to be successful for our team. What we will discuss is our base offense and core plays. We will not add anything else until we can properly execute this package.

WHY AN AMINATED PLAYBOOK?

This is our Double Wing formation. We call it Double Tight.

The Coaches will instruct you in more detail in practice on how to line up, but here are few pointers:

The linemen’s feet should be no farther than 6 inches apart and their heads should be even with the Center’s waist. The hand closest to the ball should be down and the toes of the foot closest to the ball should at the heel depth of the other foot. Your feet should be about as wide as your shoulder.

THE DOUBLE WING FORMATION

The two Wingbacks should be right off the hips of the Ends, looking towards the hips of the Ends. The WB’s should almost be able to reach out and touch the Ends.

The FB is down in a 3 point stance and should almost be able to touch the QB if he were to reach out with his hand.

Some offenses number the gaps between linemen. The Double Wing numbers the players for playcalling purposes. For example, if 88 Super Power was called, the first number tells the Fullback where. to go, the second tells where the ball is going. In our base offense we just name the play. When we start adding plays we may use the number system.

A play call for, example, would be Power Right. To run the play the other way the other way the call would be Power Left. Even though we only have 6 running plays, there are actually 10 because they are mirrors of each other (we use no mirror plays for the Wedge or FB Trap). The left or right call tells us what side of the formation the ball is going to be run.

BLOCKING TRAINING

The next two slides go over our blocking rules. For the Double Wing, as with any offense, the offensive line has to know who to block. The coaches will teach linemen how to block, but maybe more importantly, who to block.

(PSG & PST)GAP – protect inside GAP (Center your playside gap)ON – defensive lineman over.DOWN – 1st read is the next defensive lineman inside, 2nd read is firstLber away (inside). If he gets by wing him and take 2nd lber away.

(PSTE or Man inside of POA (Point of Attack)GAP – as aboveDOWN – as above

(Center)MAN ON – Drive NT overMAN AWAY – Center’s DOWN (as above)

GAP-ON-DOWN (G-O-D) RULE

This is our basic rule for Double Wing blocking. Remember, playside (PS) means the side of the center the ball is going to be run at. Back side (BS) is the opposite side from the attack. We will drill and rep this in practice and answer question you may have.

CENTER’S READ AND INTIAL CALL

The Box is the point from the BSG to the PSG, the read is how many defensivelineman are in that box.

ODD – (1 DL in the BOX) – Tells frontside to double team

EVEN – (2 DL in the BOX) – Tells frontside to down block

TNT – (3 DL in the BOX) – Tells frontside to down block

OMAHA – (see a potential blitz) – anyone from TE to TE can call – Tells frontsideto down block just like done on an even front.

The call reinforces the individual lineman’s rule by letting him know what he shoulddo. If the CALL is in conflict with his RULE he uses the RULE to block.

ODD EVEN TNT OMAHA

The following plays are our base offense. Remember, this animated playbook is to give the coaches and players an idea of how we will run the Double Wing. Detailed instruction will take place in practice. After you leave this page you will be taken through our plays or if you would like to see a specific play, click on the play name.

The Center and Right Guard perform a double team block on the first player that playside. The other linemen put their shoulders into the ribs of the player beside them toward the ball. Everyone keeps their feet moving and tries to carry the wedge upfield.

The FB takes the ball behind the wedge and keeps his feet moving looking for daylight. The WBs help form the wedge and do not push the runner, for that is a penalty.

The LE fakes a block down and runs a flag pattern while the QB runs a bootleg action and pretends he has the ball.

The LT and LG pull through the Center’s hips and looks to block the 1st defender that makes penetration, if there is none, they turn upfield at the RE spot and looks to wall off defender pursuit.

The RG,RT,and RE use gap-on-down blocking rules (we will teach these in practice and discuss some of the blocking rules later in this presentation.) The WB will wall of the first Linebacker coming from inside. The LE reaches all the way down to the Center. The FB does a kick out block on the Defensive end.

The Left WB goes in motion before the snap takes the handoff and makes a cut off the FB’s block, preferably inside. The QB calls for the snap when the WB is in the Guard-Tackle gap and pivots out, hands to the WB, and runs bootleg action.

All the action by the offensive line, Right WB, FB, and Left WB is the same on the Super Power as it is on the Power

The big difference on the Super Power is the QB action. The QB spins and tosses the ball to the WB instead of handing the ball off. Instead of bootleg action the QB leads the WB through the hole as a lead blocker.

We use this play when the defense starts overplaying the Power and Super Power.

The Right Guard and Tackle pull and the Guard kick outs the DE and the Tackle pulls through and seals to the outside. The RE reaches all the way to the Center. The Left Guard, Tackle, and End use gap-on-down blocking rules.

The LW goes in motion like the Power and Super Power. The RW drop steps, takes an inside handoff, and cuts inside the Guards kick out block. The QB spins and hands the ball off forward. Once the hand off is completed, the QB sprints around the Right end.

This play provides a nice little twist when the defense starts overplaying the Power and Super Power. We run this play a little different than what ”the books says ”.

The Right Guard pulls and seals outside. The left End, Tackle, and Guard uses the gap-on-down rules. After the hand off the QB kicks out the DE. The right Tackle and Guard reach to the Center.

The LW goes in motion like the Power and takes the hand off from the QB.. The RW drop steps, takes an inside hand off from the Left WB, and cuts inside the QB’s kick out block. The FB runs Power action and the Left WB continues around the right end.

This play provides the FB a chance to run the ball and we call it as a reward for the FB for providing the key blocks on the DEs.

The Left Guard pulls through the Centers feet and blocks the first man right off the Center. The LG uses gap-on-down rules. The RT blocks the first Lber inside and the RE blocks the first Lber away. The LT and LE reach to the Center. The Right WB walls off the first DB inside.

The LW goes in motion like the Power. The QB spins out hands the ball to the FB and bootlegs left. The FB waits for the ball from the QB. When the QB is out of the way the FB runs straight ahead if there is no man on the Center (even front) or veers to the right if there is a man on the Center (odd front.)

WEDGE PASS

This is a good play to throw the Defense off stride after they have been pounded by the Wedge. If the Wedge has been successful (and it usually is) this has been a big pass play for us. We have no mirror play for this pass yet.

The Offensive Line, as well as the WBs, put their shoulders into the ribs of the player next to them towards the Center just like the Wedge. The O-Line can only go one yard up the field as it would be an ineligible receiver downfield.

The QB fakes the hand off to the FB and runs bootleg action (this is why it is important to carry out the fakes on all our plays) to the left. The LE fakes a down block and runs a corner pattern. If the Cornerback covers the End , the QB runs. If the DB comes up to stop the run, the pass goes to the End.

This is a good play for when the defense comes up to stop the Power

The LG pulls and blocks the DE on this play. The LE and LT reach all the way to the Center. The RG and RT use the gap-on-down rules. The FB takes 3 steps in the same to the right as he was going to run the Power and then moves to the block area the RE vacated.

The Left WB runs power action.The QB hand off to the WB and runs bootleg action (it is important to carry out the fakes on all our plays) to the left. The WB does not show pass until he is past the area the End lines up on. The RE waits for the WB to clear and runs to the flat and the WB runs a 12 yard down and out pattern. We can make an adjustment to this play. If we call “Power Wingback Pass Throwback” it means the WB passes back to the QB. This is why we stress carrying out our fakes. Most youth defenses forget to cover the QB for he is an eligible receiver also.

This is a good play for when the defense over pursues to stop the Power. We use this play to influence the defense and we go the other way with the ball

The Offensive line uses gap-on-down pass protection rules

The entire backfield runs Power action. The QB fakes a hand off (and try to make a convincing fake) to the Left WB and runs bootleg action to the left side. The LE fakes a down block and runs a corner pattern. If the Cornerback covers the End , the QB runs. If the DB comes up to stop the run, the pass goes to the End.

This is the only play where our QB actually drops back and throws the ball.

The Offensive line uses gap-on-down pass protection rules

The Ends run banana routes to the out side and the WBs run inside banana routes. Each runs 7 yards and turns and looks back at the QB. The QB spins and fakes a hand off to the FB and then drops back one more step. This is the only play we use that the QB has to make “reads”. For example, pick up the Safety. if he shades to the right go left with the ball. This read has cut the number of receivers in half that you can throw to. Whichever End or WB on the side that is is open is thrown the ball.

DOUBLE WING ANG YOUTH FOOTBALL RESOURCES

www.coachwyatt.com Probably THE source for Double Wing Football. Tapes and instruction on installing and running the Dwing. Also, a “News You Can Use” section on football and other things.

www.johntreed.com This site provides Youth Football Coaching books and articles. Many youth coaches swear by Reed’s books. Visiting this site for the articles alone is very worthwhile, as the articles are very thought provoking.

www.delphi.com/dwingers/start An excellent site on the Double Wing and the world of youth football. Many coaches discuss, debate, and provide advice on the Double Wing in particular and youth football in general We have learned a lot just by sitting back and observing. Once there, you can find other football forums.

www.eteamz.com/coachdanielsCoach Daniel's provides insight, plays, and a message board on the Dwing. This site provides video that shows the Double Wing in action. The video convinced us to give a long hard look at the Dwing.

www.infosports.net Another fine site for youth football and coaches. Many coaches post here with ideas and thoughts on the great game of youth football. After reading these coaches’ posts, you will come to realize the youth game is very different from the games seen on TV. This site also provides free email and has coaching boards for many other youth sports. Coaches from this site was extremely helpful to us in installing the Dwing.


www.fbfor youth.comThis site is an absolute must for the youth coach. Coach Wade has provided a resource that was lacking for the youth coach. Football for Youth provides plays, philosophies, advice, and playbbooks all geared towards the youth coach. Coach Wade’s credo of “helping one coach helps twenty kids” is so true. This site is where we got the Gap-8 defense the Giants use and provided the inspiration for this PowerPoint presentation. This site convinced us to go to “unconventional” offenses and defenses.

www.eteamz.com/vanceborofootballThis is the site for the Vanceboro Youth Football Association. At this site, the happenings of the association and the Eagles and Giants are documented. During the season games and practices are posted. A download page provides registration material, a parents handbook and this playbook. The site contains a search engine and free email.

THE 2000 VANCEBORO GIANTS

This PowerPoint Presentation is dedicated to the 2000 Vanceboro Giants. This team showed us what is important in youth football. The season was to start soon and it looked like we wouldn’t be able to field a team due to the floods that hit our area. These kids had one week of practice and then were competitive from the first game and ended up 4-2. They showed dedication, desire, and heart. The kids listened to the coaches, hustled, and willed their way to a successful season against teams that were bigger,stronger, and faster. Most importantly, they had fun. The 2000 Giants showed the coaches that the coaches must do everything possible to help kids succeed in football. With hindsight being 20/20, we believe now , we may have had a championship if we had used the Double Wing and the Gap-8
