Get Your Best Calls Called on Gameday

Coaches are famous for spending countless hours in game plan prep, pulling parts of their system that will allow for the shredding of the opponent defense.   The real key, however, is making sure these specialized calls make it to the field come game time.  Further, the sequencing is more critical than one could imagine.  For example, a deep shot against a gambling corner might be eminent, but said corner might be protected by a strong pass rush.  A complete plan would account for the pass rush of course, perhaps by sequencing the shot deeper into a series, where a prolonged drive could negate the defensive charge.  In conjunction with the formation worksheets we use to formulate our overall plan, we would have scripted attack ideas for each opponent.  These attack ideas represent the backbone of the plan.
Picture
I've found that 4-5 core attack ideas (such as listed above) can give the play caller a "web" of interdependent options that will attack the defense at multiple pressure points.  Above is an example of an opponent we have that had a big pass rush, tried to stay in a 2-deep shell, but would go to 1 high to pressure or rotate with motion.  Combined with our ability to use "Navigation Tags", we enhance our chances with high percentage passes and get the ball to our best guys.  Below is one such example:

Because of the anticipated reaction to Rock/ Load motion, we could get a clean, quick-rhythm throw to our best RAC guy.  If not, we had a basic combination to move our eyes into.   The key here is that the offense is not only efficient, but that the best calls are not left on the play card.  

Just as important is the development of an adjustment script.   For the example above, the single-high and weak pressure answers were anticipated and planned for. This is easier to plan for than one might think -- most defenses simply do not have the time to be very multiple.  If they are, they usually aren't that technically sound. 

Using these mini-scripts, the results for us this season have been astounding: completing over 70% for the year, with over a 6:1 TD/ INT ratio.   Below are some examples of what is being discussed at using junior high players.
