Join Texas' Spring High School Head Coach Sonny Karas and his offensive coordinator as they lead you through their elements of a running game that has helped lead the Spring High School offense to a top 10 ranking in the greater Houston area for 10 consecutive years. Coach Karas shares with you three basic running plays, starting with his A-gap tight zone play. This tight zone play can also be turned into an option as well. As defenses adjust to the tight zone, Karas instructs you to switch to the C-gap wide zone play. In this play, the running back will cross the quarterback and read the outside defender and decide to "bang" straight up or "bounce" to the outside. Karas also shares an option variation, including a quarterback read version of this play. The last play that Karas covers is his 36 Dart play. In this play, the weakside tackle pulls and becomes a lead blocker for the running back. Karas diagrams variations and blocking assignments on a white board for all three plays and also includes game footage that demonstrates the alternatives of each play.

Join Texas' Spring High School Head Coach, Sonny Karas as he shares with you the two basic passing plays (and many variations off of them) that he has used for over 20 years. Starting with the H-cross, Karas shows you options you can use with this basic route in a 2x1 and a 2x2 set. Karas also shares his 625 West Virginia play, which is a solid play action play that complements the outside zone run. Karas uses white board diagrams, Power Point examples and game footage to demonstrate examples for both the H-cross series and the West Virginia series. Karas brings in his offensive line coach and discusses pass protection in both a 60 and a 50 front. Karas includes four alert calls that can be called at the line of scrimmage to keep defenses honest and to stretch the field horizontally. These alert calls include an option pass and three hitch screen tags. With all of these passing options, you will be able to install an incredible passing game to keep defenses on their toes while you score points.
