This is the one I personally used my first year as a coach\n\nhttp://www.fbforyouth.com/the_gap-8.htm\n\nI was a youth coach at the time.  It's simple, easy to understand, and it shuts down stuff like the power-sweep.  If you don't like it, check out this page for a bunch of different defenses that work for the youth leagues\n\nhttp://www.fbforyouth.com/defense.htm\n\nIf you have any questions e-mail me!

Try using the wishbone formation more often, if you are so desperate (as we can sense) review some of the college film and teams like Nebraska that i recall are use to run the option in a lot of the game plays.\nAlso just throw the ball only to RBs and Tight ends ocasionally, your receivers need to be mainly for blocking schemes.

This is what I was taught by members of the University of Utah defense and the assistant coach of the AFL's Utah Blitz and what I then taught my little league football team:\n1.  KEEP YOUR FEET CHOPPING!  Essential.  If you stop your feet, you are going to get burned.\n2.  Butt down.  Get that anchor down like you are doing a squat thrust.\n3.  Throw your arms back.\n4.  Throw arms forward into their armpits and give them a big ol' hug.\n5.  Keep low.  If you stand up, you're gonna get blasted\n6.  Drive them.  Do not stop driving your legs.  If you do, they will run you over.\nIf you are attacking them from the side, you want to keep your head in between them and where they are running.  If you don't, the only thing keeping them from breaking the tackle is one arm.

I coached flag football for seven and eight year olds.This is  the way I finally got something going. I split my two backs and put them seven yards deep, then I had the quarterback turn his back to the line of scrimmage when he took the snap and sprint between the backs. Then the backs didn't move until the quarterback passed between them. He could hand it to either back to go left or right. Then after a couple of hand offs he would fake the hand off one way then bootleg the other way. If you have fast kids the seven yards gives them some space so they can rely on their ability. If the other team is rushing hard you bootleg first then hand off after they start playing the bootleg. After you get that going you can run slip screens to the end, and some counter plays. They will have to react to the possible bootleg( usually by hesitating at the line of scrimmage) or you will rush for big yardage. When you boot leg you have two blockers in place, also they have to sell the play action. The important thing is that every play is blocked the same way at the start, and the backs and quarterback run every play exactly the same to the point of the hand off.

Try to call someone advance to practice with you and learn how to intercept pass and stuff,and also try shooting from a close range at first and gradually get futher and futher as u improve

To defend the Americans (for once) I have been a fan of American Football for some years and it is a specifically (and continuously) impact sport where the padding is absolutely necessary.  Even with it there are still significant injuries.\n\nRugby is absolutely a rough sport but if they hit like the American footballers do we would need 50 a side to be able to finish the game.\n\nOverall enjoy the sport you love, don't try to big it up by slagging off other sports\n\nPeace Out.

ok 270 is too much for linebacker and tight end. Get down to 245 and I would put you at full back. So you can block get some carries and even catch a couple balls. On defense yes of course linebacker. Getting you down to 245 will make you faster so you can play middle linebacker, not outside linebacker because outsider backers did to be a little smaller and quicker. Inside backers can stop the run and the short throws. It is a very important position. Good Luck!

Based  on your size and speed I would suggest Offensive Tackle and Defensive End.  I am 5'8" 165 and run a 5.1.  I'm a frosh and play D tackle and guard.

Set a high screen with either your 4 or 5.  Then have the big player roll off the screen taking the pass up high.  have her pass to either wing as you attack the basket.  This is the classic Hi Low screen and roll play which has been used for years.  If neither big Gal can pass, you can also try a back door cut to the area of the floor where the double team comes from.  This area should be vacant unless the defense rolls to that area of the floor.  Then your 3 has to recognize the defense and move across the floor to the open area.  You can also play the two man game where the point dishes to a player moving behind them moving in the opposite direction which will probably result in a reach in foul as the trap comes off the ball handler.  Do this enough and the other team will have to sit players or be forced to remove the trap.  I could give you several more options, but without seeing your girls play or their dribble/ball handling skills its tough to make specific play designs.  The basic safety net of any offense is to have your big man back the other center toward the basket then come back to the ball handler to recieve the high pass.  Just be sure the wing players recognize this and make an easy handoff or short pass for the big player once she has the ball.  Don't be tempted into having the trapped player make a jump pass across the floor, as it is likely to be deflected or make for a difficult catch.

Well... improve on your overall body strength and balance, try doing more olympic type lifts like overhead squats that forces your body to balance itself and the weights. Improve your intelligence because the middle linebacker position is the leader on the field, he has to know what everyones assignment is and make adjustments in any given situation. A Defensive Coordinator always looks for someone who is Johnny Boyscout in the classroom but has an Outlaw streak in him when the helmet is strapped on. Coaches will actually go to the middle schools and check a prospective players grades to a determine his intelligence, and work ethic. So improve your grades, strength, and speed and you should stand a good chance.\n\n Remember this... that the MLB is usually the quintessential football player, he loves the game of football as a whole, he would play any position, any day, any conditions.

I recomend trying several wieght ratios and see what is comrotable for the 11 year old. If you have a compound this should be easy by just adjusting the draw weight. The minimum is 40 lbs in Illinois as well. The youngster may also have to atend a hunter safety course.

I doubt you would be able to find any free playbooks on-line.  My suggestion is find a yahoo group for like youth football and ask if someone can give you some stuff.  Like a simple I formation or Wing T offense.

Well you should definitely practice a lot. You also might want to start playing on a summer team. I play defense and I joined a summer team and I feel like I am improving

Good Question. I would start the NYG defense over the Bills Defense and here is why... \n\nBuffalo has the 23 ranked Defense(340.8 ypg) and NYG has the 15th ranked Defense(317.4 ypg)\n\nAlso, the Giants defense has a great matchup against the Titans Offense which is ranked 27th in the NFL(283.1 ypg)\n\nHope this helps and Good Luck.
