zone blocking and 7/8 yr olds possible
« on: July 25, 2010, 01:21:28 PM »
7&8 year olds with I and/or split backs with dbl TE, is zone a possibility with this age and is it a bonus or just a hard install for mediocre results?

Zone blocking is possible with 7-8s but it really has to be reped. On a sweep play we used zone/combo blocking. If our PST could handle the DT our PSTE would post and go get  the MLB. Our WB was in short motion and blocked the DE.QB rvse pivots tosses
toTB,QB would go block C. BSG pulls and blocks PSLB.FB if all things went right, would block the FS and we would have a TD.
                                                 FS                             
                   
                             C         B      B      B
                               DE DT  G G   DT  DE           C
                                  TE T G C G T TE
                                            QB                   WB
                                             FB

                                             TB
                                         
 
               
Our judgement is only as good as our information.
