Disguising Plays

with Bill Shepard,
former Rockford Christian HS (IL) Head Coach

Building an offensive system can be enhanced by disguising plays that come from a common attack. By disguising plays you can cut down on teaching time, run complementary plays with the same personnel and easily implement the plays because most of the rules are the same. Because players are often confused with detailed playbooks, this philosophy will put players and coaches on the same page. To create a simple offensive package, Coach Shepard uses three formations each season that includes six basic running plays and eight pass plays. The play/complement package includes: 36/47 Power, 18/19 Speed, 34/43 Crossbuck, and various passes for each play. Formations diagramed are Storm, Typhoon, Thunder, Twister, Hurricane, Rain/Lightning, Tornado, Blizzard and Cyclone. All plays/complements and formations are diagrammed and reinforced with game footage. The high school coach has limited time and staff and must devise a compact offensive package. Maximize your time and resources by disguising plays and developing a solid offensive package.
