8 Man Unbalanced Double Wing

Before we get into the playbook, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Coach Robert Olide and I've coach with the Downey Razorbacks since 2000 along with helping a couple of neighbor cities along the way. Every year except my first year I have coached 11 man tackle football and we have ran the Double Wing Offense either exclusively or 80% of the time. Through out my time I have coached under 3 great head coaches and learned from our OC's version of the Double Wing. The blocking concepts and series based plays are all inspired by his 11 man playbook and are modified by me to put together a playbook that will translate well to our 5, 6, & 7 year old 8 man full contact flag league. With the funky rules of no defensive line men can line up head up on the center or in the A gaps. Along with no running in the A gaps until center has cleared the middle and no 3 point stand for anyone but the center that is snapping the ball. It was a mission to get the core of the Double Wing and be able to come up with the correct blocking schemes. I was able to still keep the Power that the DW provides and the deception for a solid smash mouth ball control offense. I also added some varied formations that I learned from my studies of the wing-t and spread offenses.




For 8 man tackle coaches, I would only recommend you read my book as a starting point as the plays and blocking schemes should translate well, but the only tackle DW that I have coached is an 11 man DW. Again, this Unbalance 8 man DW was developed for the use of my 8 man full contact flag football 5,6 & 7 year old league and that is the only proof that it works that I have video on.

If you are an 8 man youth football tackle coach that would like to use my book. I would be honored to help you remotely to trouble shoot the playbook to make sure it works with your 8 man tackle team.

To get a copy of my book please email me with your name, league you coach at and level. I will email you the link to the download along with the password shortly after I read your email.

Hi coach,

I run the single wing offense in 11man football but this year our organization is doing a 8 on 8 league as well. Could you forward me a copy of your 8 man DW playbook? It will help me make the transition much smoother. Keep up the great work!

Coach,
My youth (K-6) league in Ohio will be getting into an 8-man tackle spring program this year. I would appreciate looking over your DW playbook. I used DW with 11-man and would be interested to see how you handle the line/blocking differences in 8-man.

Thanks,

Hello Coach. I am a HS coach from OK and I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a copy of your 8 Man playbook. I am taking over as OC for a team that is smaller than all the other teams in our district and from a little scouting all the other teams in our district are Power I do or die. I was a part of a Wing-T team in high school but that was long ago but I do remember how much I enjoyed gaining 5 yards a run because of how many people we had at the point of the attack. My email is mikahg53@gmail.com and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
