The 5-3 defense playbook brings the effective 5-3 football scheme ,modified down to the youth football level. Let’s face it, in the last decade we have watched as the majority of youth football teams run some version of an odd man defensive front. I’m sure that the 5-3 defense playbook used in high school and college is as thick as a telephone book, however nothing this huge is required for the pee wee football level.
The 5-3 defense playbook, used by this writer, has been the primary weapon used to stop so many of the popular pop warner offenses like the double wing, single wing, wing t, power I and the “T” formation, just to mention some. One of the top advantages of the 5-3 defense playbook is the basic way of teaching and communicating with the players. Nothing is made too hard, and every formation, stunt and blitz is easy to teach to players ranging is ages 3-15. I have installed the 5-3 defense playbook with 5 year old flag football players as well as 15 year old all star travel tackle squads.
However, the system has been tweaked for each age group, but needless to say it was always an great stopper rarely giving up even one touchdown per game and never allowing two. The greatest part is you do not have to have eleven great skill players to make this work. It is your duty as a coach to coach up the required skills, all which are shown in the 5-3 defense playbook, to each position and teach the group how to bind as one unit. Preach to them that 11 strong, and smart, will be better than 1 or 2 great players every time.
By using the content contained in the 5-3 defense playbook, your team will have the skills to shut out a combination of varying offensive systems and formations. You can move extra defenders to the defensive line, back them off into the secondary, or design every look to appear like a blitz, making it difficult on the offense to determine who to block.
Our 5-3 defense playbook gives you all the information and details you will need to use this system your entire coaching career. This 5-3 defense playbook can be implemented with the little players in flag and as you go into to tackle, you can continue to use this same book!
