Hello coaches,
I am head coach at an eight man school in Kansas (don't hold that against me lol). We have decided to take the plug into 6 man football, because of enrollement dropping so much. We have been a successful program for many years in eight man, going 8-2 last year with only 12 players. I've coach eight man football for 30 years.
Let me get to the point, I've dove into researching the 6 man game after this season and I'm deciding on what direction we are going to go both offensively and defensively! I feel like I'm starting all over again, which is both scary and exciting to me! I'm looking for any help and contacts that I can get.
Our team will have about 12-15 players next year and will be extremely young (1 Sr, 1 Jr, 5 So, 5 Fr). The good thing is we should be quick, fast, and athletic. We don't have a lot of size, so we will be spreading people out and we are used to that. Our currrent offense is a shotgun spread that uses a lot of motion. I like the looks of the option game in six man, I think. Our Qb will be young so we will be working on our passing game a lot here in the off season. We are use to throwing the ball (throw more then most teams up here). Anyway, I'm looking for as much help and info I can find and thought this looked like a great place for that!
Thanks in advance guys!
