I appreciate it!

I appreciate it! I do like one word calls with tempo, but tempo just isn’t my offensive personality. I’m curious. Do you tag your one word calls or come up with new words?

@@Coach_DDavidson Honestly, tempo has bitten me a couple times when I played better teams but I learned from it. I huddle up slow it way down now when I know I’m outmatched. I will go 2 words on some calls but that’s the max. For example if I go “Peter” for POWER I will go “Peter Parker” for Power Pass.

I’ve seen those. Not a great fit for my system because I’d imagine you’re pretty limited in terms of space. I think that it’s a fantastic idea for middle school or tempo teams in high school, but just not for me personally. The place that I would use them is in scout team.

That’s what we do for 7v7. I tried it for tackle one season and it wasn’t bad it just limits how much you can put on wristbands with diagrams instead of text. I had 6-8 boxes on the bands and most were pass play diagrams so kids wouldn’t have to memorize routes.

@@Coach_DDavidson Ahh, yes that makes sense with the term of space.

@@FastbreakFootballhub I see I am looking into a system to allow more diagram boxes. However, the details is the hard part.

@@CoachJayScott for teams that don’t run a ton of plays, it’s a good option, especially middle school where the memorization is harder. I just know I’m going to want to add a TE here and there or a FB or something, and I can’t account for that in the game if it’s not already on the band.

It could be absolutely wicked if done correctly!

@Coach_DDavidson the trick to it is you have to be willing to work on tracks at times, but the big advantage is it sets up your other cadences since the defense has to play the initial speed break. They must align fast or they risk being run out the stadium

@@JohnnyMidey yeah, I’m not a fan of tracks. That’s where any sort of tempo falls apart for me.

@@Coach_DDavidson just treat it like a swoop call lowkey you just aren't gaining

@@JohnnyMidey we did some shifting to unbalanced this year, and it just never seemed to work right. I tried the idea of tracks, simple covered/uncovered with and without combos, and I just couldn’t get it right. Probably just a gap in my pedagogy.
