How to run a 5-3 defense for 9-11 years olds and 4-4 defense. how to run a cover 2 defense for a pee-wee level

Answer 1

u dont, till there in high school!  

Answer 2

A 5-3 defense in jr pee football is a great defense. Its more like a 5-5 but can easily be turned into a 6-5 or 4-4 stack. If you have 2 stud middle linebackers, it also helps you sub in at tackle so kids can get there plays.. I don't do that but other coaches do. Best 11 on defense at all times. Middle linebackers cover the A gap at all times.

Answer 3

Cover 2 for pee wees?  What, are your safeties going to be like 10 yards deep or something?  If you play a Pee Wee team with a QB that can throw far enough that you need a real safety, there aren't two kids that can catch the ball.

Answer 4

i dont think u need to run cover 2 if teams will barely pass
