Basic Double Wing Formations

Everything I do is from Coach Hugh Wyatt's book Dynamics of the Double Wing with some modifications that I've found work with our kids and level of football. The following link shows the formations I'll use during the season: Basic Double Wing Formations.

 These are the three basic formations I'll use throughout the season. They are simple, easy to learn and remember during a game. I feel these formations allow us to do a few things play calling wise, and deal with a substitution situation. In middle school football you will have some kids who are not very big -ok, they're small- and I need places to put them on the field to keep them safe (We do not have weight limits). Going Over or Under allows us to split out a smaller kid. He's on the field and he's not in tight in a situation that he is not going to be successful. From his split position he has a good angle to block a linebacker (he usually just slows him a little) on a sweeps or to clear an area of the field for an inside receiver (A or C back). Incidently, the corner will often follow him inside on sweeps too, which opens up the outside. If our opponent begins to ignore the threat of the split end, I send in an athlete for a play who is a threat and I have a play call to take advantage of the situation.
I like to keep it simple for the players and through formation get players onto the field in the best position for them to experience some success.
