Quickest way learning a football offense?

Question

whats the quickest way to learn my highschool offense. like trips, i formation, pitch, sweep, and pro?

Answer 1

Play books help... also pay attention as best u can to what the coaches are saying and asking questions if u don't understand helps... also reveiwing the play book @ home and having family or friends quiz u on what u should b doing on each play hlps

Answer 2

every word or letter in the play name tells someone what to do.  Just go to Borders and get a Football for Dummies if it is too challenging, thats what my coach suggested.

Answer 3

People learn in different ways.  Some learn best by seeing it  writen out on a white board or in a playbook.  Some learn best from running through the plays on the practice feild.  But what I find works best for my players is if they draw the plays up themselves.  I have been coaching Highschool ball for 11 years and I always make it a point to hand out paper and have the players sketch the plays as I draw them on the white board.

Learn the stuff you have to know first.  For Example if your a WR or a Wing Learn Your formations, and routes first and for most.  If your a running back pay more attention to the hole numbering system and which play is which.

I suggest writing out the plays on your own.  Write them down over and over til you can't get them wrong.  Good luck this season.

Answer 4

playing madden or college football and seeing it.

Trips means 3, so 3 wideouts.

I formation is that there is a fullback and tailback behind eachother like an I.

Pro formation is two backs side by side.  

A pitch is usually something quick to the back where a sweep you'll have a blocking back.  

Answer 5

Study the playbook and pay very close attention to your coaches and asking questions.Also make sure you go over them in practice 2
