The DW Offense is a double tight end double wing formation with minimal passing, power dives, misdirection, ball control, with an overwhelming ground game. The Wing-T is a Run-heavy football offense with misdirection plays, multiple ball carriers, power runs, and deceptive passing. The Beast Yale Single Wing is a modified Single Wing; unbalanced line, 3 shifting blocking backs; power runs, misdirection, and versatile plays.

Coach Parker's Coaching Youth Football Tips and Talk Podcast
Choosing a Youth Football Offense is a tough decision for a new youth football coach and an experienced one too. Recently, I went down the Rabbit Hole to try find the magic solution or hidden door to answer this difficult question. In my research, many coaches will tell me what they think is the simplest or best youth offense and it is mainly the offense they already know. In a past blog post I did write about what I think are the Best Offenses for youth football. So even I will have a bias but hoping to but that behind me for this multi part article on Choosing a Youth Football Offense. In this multi part article on Choosing a Youth Football Offense I am trying to move past my internal bias and look at choosing a youth football offenses based on about 25 variables that keep coming up when I talk to youth football coaches. I define youth football from 5u to 12u, not really 7th and 8th grade ball. I would also like to thank many of the coaches in my Facebook groups and the Wing-T, Single Wing and Double Wing Facebook Groups for some great feedback and also thank Coach Kessler and Green for their thoughtful input. Key Variables on Choosing a Youth Football Offense Here are essential factors I'll consider while evaluating and choosing a youth football offense for potential use: Age of Players Experience of Players Maturity & Memory of Players Size of Players Size of Roster / # of Players Minimum Play Rules Amount of Practice Time / Week Coach's Experience / Knowledge of Offense Assistant Coaches Experience Levels Rec vs Select League Competition Skill Level Type of Defenses in League Type of Snap / Gun or UC Size of Offensive Linemen Blocking Skills / Calls Pulling Linemen Multiple Formations / Shifts / Motion QB Skills – Footwork / Hands / Passing Passing Capabilities Speed of Team / RBs Number of Top Running Backs Power / Speed / Misdirection / Pass Type Offense Versatility and Flexibility of the Offense Offensive System Easy to Learn, Install, Execute Available Offense Materials / Resources / Playbooks Check out all Coach Parker's digital youth football playbooks https://coachparker.org/youth-football-playbooks-store/ Schedule a Virtual Clinic with Coach Parker Visit my Website at http://CoachParker.org Join me on: http://www.facebook.com/youthfootball/ http://twitter.com/coachparker_org Play for Fun and Winning is Funner!

Riley is from Ankeny, Iowa. Played high school football at Ankeny Centennial, and was one of those guys who Iowa finds and takes a chance on that other Division 1 programs seem to miss.
