Wing-T & Mid-Line Offense: Can They Work Together?

Question
Coach, I run a Wing-T offense with buck sweep as the base. I also have Fly sweep or "speed" as an option. I am considering adding a Mid-Line play to the play book to hit Zero hole quickly when teams start slanting to our motion side. Will that be too confusing as an offensive philosophy to our players at the Junior High level?


Answer
Jesse,

I run a very similar offense, and the midline is part of our package. I think it can coexist with the other packages you run. I am currently running it with my son's 10 year old youth team and it was very effective last year.

Take your time installing each segment of your offensive package and explain the thought process to your players on how each play fits into the system.

Let me know how things work out for you.
