Every coach dreams of having a high powered passing offense, even in youth football. The question one needs to ask ishow realistic is it at the youth football level. It is impossible with the very young kids. I have a unique definition of what I consider a passing offense. I believe any one can throw the ball. Any team can drop their quarterback and throw the ball up in the air hoping for the best. This is not a passing offense by my definition.

A passing offense is a team that can pass every single down, attacking every zone on the field and having the ability to audible to expose changes and/or weaknesses in the defense. It takes a complete understanding of the scheme you are trying to run if you plan on any success with a passing offense.
Young teams have a hard time since the quarterback does not have the arm strength to make all the necessary passes to be effective in a passing offense. Pass protection becomes an issue since most younger players are most effective with zone blocking schemes which include double team blocks, not individual pass blocking assignments. Most youth defenses are very vulnerable to the pass , but if you are going up against a veteran coach he will have no problem shutting down the youth passing games.
When you players get older and have had three or four years of tackle experience and are around 12 years old, you can start to have some fun. I have run successful Run and Shoot offenses and have added some A-11 offense in recent years. Our A-11 Playbook shows the play we have used with extreme success over the last few years.
Make sure you have the personal and proper experience if you decide to add a high powered passing offense in your youth football team.
