In order to establish consistency within our offense we will have a basic offense that we will practice daily. This basic offense will be a fast paced multiple, spread attack. We will employ a 'no-huddle' strategy that implements different tempos, formations and motions. Our no-huddle philosophy will wear on the defense and force them to defend as much as 25% more plays per game. We will employ formations that vary from no backs to three backs, as well as unbalanced line and swinging gate sets. We want to force our opponent into one basic look on defense and then attack relentlessly. We want to be balanced between run and pass in every situation and formation. In order to do this, we must be effective both running and passing.

Our rushing attack will be based on being physical at the point of attack and running various forms of option. We will develop an attitude that no one can stop us when we want to run the football. In order to develop this attitude everyone must become physical in their blocking assignments.

Our receivers must have the same mentality as our offensive line. We will dictate to the defense what we want to do. By running the option, we will force the defense to be responsibility sound, which will slow down their pursuit to the ball. By running several split option schemes, we will divide the defense and force them to play the entire field even when we are running the ball. We must also be very effective at combining our passing and rushing attacks. This will be done by using a variety of read plays in which our quarterback will have a run or a pass option. This will also be accomplished by running play action and waggle passes.

Our passing attack will be based on consistency and accuracy. We will complete a high percentage of our passes and get the ball out of our quarterback's hand quickly. We must stretch the defense vertically and horizontally in our passing game. In order to have a consistent passing game, we must have great pass protection. We will employ 5 and 6 man pass protection schemes as well as a simple slide protection scheme. We will also employ play action and waggle protection schemes and sprint out protection. We will always have an answer for blitz. Our opponents will be afraid to blitz us as we will employ hot routes, sight adjust routes, and we will also use screens to attack the blitz. Screens will be a big part of our passing game to keep the defense off guard.

In order to accomplish these things we must execute at a very high level. The first way to achieve this execution level is to practice daily at a very high level. Once again our no huddle philosophy will help us with us. In order to improve daily we must get a high number of repetitions. By being a no huddle team, we can accomplish this very easily in every drill and team situation. Each individual on the offensive unit must master their mental assignment. When it comes time to play the game we must be in reaction mode and not in thinking mode. This will allow our players to play faster.

We will focus on being successful in critical situations. We will take care of the football, avoid careless penalties, and be good on 3rd down and in the red zone. We will attack the defense and make them defend all four downs anywhere on the field.

Finally, we want to give our skilled players opportunities to make plays in space. This will require confident players to step up to the challenge. We will also strive to utilize several different players throughout the course of a game and the season, this will allow us to spread the ball around and make it more difficult for the defense to slow us down.

In order to have a successful team, we must have a successful defense. In order to have a successful defense, we must develop a hard nosed and physical attitude. We must work very hard to develop this type of defensive attitude. Each player must want and love to play defense. Our players must have desire plus discipline. To play great defense each player must know his alignment, assignment or responsibility, and then play with great desire from snap to whistle. We will attack the offense.

We will be a hard nosed, intimidating and swarming defense. We will disguise our movements and stunts to slow down the recognition of the other team. Our opponents will have to guess from week to week as to what they will see against us. We will stop the run first by being a gap control defense. We will use a variety of fronts and stunts in order to confuse our opponents' blocking assignments. We will be sound. We will work pursuit in all our team periods to emphasize getting all 11 defensive players to the football on every play.

This also helps condition our team. We will attack our opponent's passing game by pressuring the quarterback from both man and zone blitz schemes. We will also employ a rotating coverage scheme into our defensive package as it hinders our opponent's ability to identify the read player, pre-snap.

Our next area of focus is tackling. We will work on tackling technique every day. Tackling is to defense, what blocking is to offense. If we can't tackle, we can't win. Good tacklers are almost always good weight room kids. This is where the priority to do weight training comes into play. Tackling and pursuit help eliminate big plays by our opponents.

We will also focus on creating turnovers, so we can keep the pressure on the other team with our offense as well. We will drill turnovers in practice, just like tackling. The 2 biggest factors in forcing turnovers, are making attempts at the ball and great pursuit. We will focus on both of these factors.

The next area of focus is to be successful in critical situations. We must be able to get off the field on 3rd or 4th down and we must be able to limit points in the red zone and goal line areas. These are major point of emphasis during the practice week.

Finally, we will evaluate our players daily on the amount of effort they are giving to the cause of being a dominant defense. We want our players to be able to count on each other and that trust is developed in practice. If we can get our players to buy in to playing hard from snap to whistle, we will be successful. A coach will be assigned to track loafs during our group and team periods, to keep us on track of being the hardest-playing team around.

One fifth of every game is played by special teams. Approximately 40 percent of all high school and college football games are won or lost by the kicking game. This happens either by a big play or a big mistake. We will attempt to be sound in our special teams, and we will invest the time they deserve to help us win the big games.

We will attack on special teams, just as in the other two phases of the game. We will need to be more calculating, when taking risks in special team play, due to the high risk-high reward nature of special teams. In our special teams play we want to eliminate mistakes, and we do this by proper quality repetitions. We want our special team players to have a great desire to get on the field and make a play. We want intense players that play with a great deal of pride. We also will focus on fundamental techniques. Our specialists will have a routine to work on during the off-season and preseason, to be prepared for the season when we start practice. Our specialists include kickers, punters, holders, snappers, quarterbacks and return men. During the season, our other players will work on their specific special teams' skills, whether that is as a cover man on kick-off or a blocker for our PAT-FG or a jumper on our PAT-FG block team. We will force the other team to adjust to us in all of our special teams. We will not huddle but use no huddle signals in all of our special teams. We will attack and play aggressively.

Our kick-off team will line up in nontraditional ways, and we will signal where we want the ball kicked, how we want it kicked and how our coverage team will attack the ball. We will onside kick whenever it is available. We will generally try to kick the ball high for a fair catch or squib the ball to make returners move to receive the ball.

Our kick-off return team will be traditional. We will focus on execution, being physical, ball security and eliminating penalties.

Our punt block team will be aggressive. We will want the other team to spend extra time on punt protections, and we want the other team's punter to have to rush his kicks. We will also have the ability to hold up and protect our returner.

Our PAT-FG team will be no huddle and line up in a nontraditional manner. We will signal in 1 or 2 points after the team is set, and we can determine if the opponent has lined up soundly versus our set. We can also signal in how we want to attack the defense if they are unsound. We will time our snap to kick every repetition we take in practice, pregame warm-ups or in the game.

Our PAT-FG block team will be traditional. We will have two blocks, one will come up the middle, and another will be an edge block with two jumpers in the middle.

Our punt team will be our offense, as it has been for the last 8 seasons. We will force the other team to play defense with all 11 players or we will run an offensive play. If they defend us with 11 players, we will then punt the ball to them without a returner. Our emphasis must be protection first versus a heavy box. We will one step our punter, and we will also be able to rugby style punt the ball. We will also employ multiple formations to punt out of, maximize our opportunity to get the ball kicked without a block.
