Coaching Youth Football: Installing the 50 Defense

with Jerry Campbell,
Head Football Coach, Clovis (CA) High School

This video is essential for youth coaches who may need a refresher on various 50 defenses or anyone who is new coaching defense. Coach Campbell works with 7, 8, and 9 year olds in this video to demonstrate the simplicity of installing the multiple 50 defense. The multiple 50 defense takes advantage of young quarterbacks who do not have the mechanics or throwing accuracy to beat you solely by throwing the ball. By putting seven and eight players in the box you force teams to throw long to beat you while you put your players in great position to defend the run. Beginning with the 52 defense, Coach Campbell covers player responsibilities and how to attack offenses with various blitzes. He then moves to the 53 defense, 62 defense, and finally demonstrateS the 7 diamond. Coach Campbell also installs cover zero, cover 2 and cover 3 to each defense. Excellent instruction!
