Coach, do you have a preferred system of calling plays and assigning kids to various positions? The rotations in and out and route trees can be difficult to manage in game while also trying to analyze the defense.
I am actually working on putting together a course that will encompass all the things you just asked. It’s taking me some time and it won’t be ready until next season but it’s coming. Thanks for watching.
Usually the quarterback is throwing the ball as soon as the number one receiver breaks and then he’s catching up to the ball. If your receivers a little slower, you could have a break off a little sooner.
It does look like some people’s variation of the sail route. There are lots of variations of the sail route concept. Traditionally, a sail route is going to have receivers at three different levels. And the receiver going deep on the play side would usually be more of a clear out rout. In my sail route I would bring that backside receiver more as the intermediate receiver coming about 12 to 15 yards. He would be the one stretching the corner. However, in our crossing smash rout our focus is going to be on the receiver running the shallow corner rout, which is really more like the intermediate receiver. The deeper receiver on the backside is going to be a replacement/hold receiver. He’s either going to replace the safety deep that evacuates to jump on the corner route or he’s going to hold the safety there. He’s not even really one of the main targets. He’s going deep but he’s not a clear out route. He’s more of a hold route. The primary target is going to be the high low read on the corner, which is more in the SMASH Routes concept. But yes. It does look like a variation of the sail route.

For 7on7 in particular

I should have one for 7on7 by the end of Feb. 2024
Good stuff coach. I just worry about the time it will take for the #1 route to develop

Hey Coach, how you!
Is there a way I can get in touch with you? I would love to receive play books or even sign up for coaching, if you offer it.
I will be coming out with a complete coaching course this Spring for 7on7 and then next summer 2024 for Tackle Football.
Isn't this the same as the "Sail" concept?

@Icoachfootballonline thank you, sir. I appreciate the time you took to plain this fully.
