" Winning Youth Football a Step by Step Plan"

Great instructions for teaching good fundamentals are critical for the sport of football. Dave Cisar, his book and the Screaming Eagle Organization teach proper practice methods and techniques to get the youth player properly grounded in the sport and more importantly to have fun while they do it.

2009 Dave,

My name is Shawn Norton and I am the coach of the Fair Grove Tigers in Thomasville NC. 2 years ago we were 3-6 and that was the best record Fair Grove had ever recorded in the Pee Wee (ages 8-10) teams history. Last year after purchasing your book and your implementing the single wing DVD we went 9-1 and lost in the county championship game. The program is phenomenal. Once again thanks for the well written book, it has made coaching so much more enjoyable for me!

Great clinic in Orlando I have been using the single wing the last two seasons what a great offense, also use the wide tackle six and the 4 -4 defense as a defense last year we only gave up six points in 12 games made it all the way to the semi finals and lost because of two bone head moves made by me end up losing in overtime. We averaged 38 points a game with your offense as a coach I would like to thank you, you make me look like a genius.

Thanks,

2009 I just want to let you know Coach Dave is very serious about making football a great experience for both the kids and coaches. I have two boys that played football last year, for their first time. It was a good season for their team, however one of them had a bad experience and is a little discouraged from playing. Because of this, I have decided to take on the responsibility and join the coaching staff for the first time. I inquired about Coach Dave’s program, while serving in Afghanistan, and told him my situation and how I wanted to make sure that no other kids get discouraged from the exciting sport of football. Without hesitation, Coach Dave sent me the information and support to help me get started on the right foot. I sent out many request to similar programs and he was the only one that was willing to ensure that my new experience would be one to remember. I look forward to this year’s football season and cannot wait to start implementing the principles that Coach Dave uses. Thank you for your support Coach Dave and I look forward to sending you another testimonial of how the season goes.”

2009 Hey Coach,

Sorry just getting around to saying that I really enjoyed your clinic it really meant the world to me to meet you if you only know the effect you and your system had on me it is unreal. I can't wait to unleash the single wing on these guys this year. The kids are enjoying it already we have started practice and they love the splatter drill, sumu, and towel game. Your are a genius and your book is the bible of youth football. Thanks again

2009 Dave, I just wanted to thank you for your DVDs. We had a 6-2 season last fall with both losses by only one point. We rushed for over 2000 yards and placed second in a national tournament at the fourth grade level and book.

2009 Dave,

First of all, and again, thanks. We were a struggling team, and by implementing your system we are perennial league contenders.

Thanks again Dave,

2009 Hello Dave,
I purchased your DVD a couple of seasons ago and have enjoyed tremendous success implementing your plan. We've taken a team that won a total of 4 games in three years and finished on top of our division 7-1 just a year later. We lead the entire league in pts scored and offensive yardage. I use the DVD as a resource prior to each season. My team is now 12 and we plan to utilize more of the offense .....

2009 Coach Dave,

This will be our second year in the single wing and I am looking forward to being able to jump right back into things as 17 or our 18 players are returning from our 13-0 season.

Not surprisingly, we have a big target on our backs after springing the single wing on our league. We seriously bought into your philosophy about limited warm ups and lack of scrimmaging/contact. As you noted, the kids were jumping out of their shoes by the time the game got started craving contact.

2009 Dave,
It is that time of the year when us coaches kick-off another season! However, I wanted to thank you for last season before strap the chi-straps on this year. Your program and guidance last year was invaluable. You may recall the McKinney Texans, with only 13 players that were small in size but big in heart, went undefeated during the regular season (8-0). Not only did we score more points than any other team in our 2nd grade league (227) but we gave up fewer points than any other team as well (18). Results like this would not have been possible without your guidance. In many games, we scored on every offensive possession and did not give up a single first down on defense in the first half. The book and the videos made all of the difference in the world. To think that a team of 13 with half of the players being acquired essentially through a blind draft could dominate to the degree we did is remarkable! What memories...I can still recall the feedback that I received from the league when I signed up to a be coach in the neighboring and rival town..."let your parents know that they should think of the games against the WildDawz, Wildcats and the Hurricanes like it was practice". When I asked why, they responded with these are "Franchise Teams" and we were going to get whipped. Although these teams were as close as you could get in 2nd grade to select teams which were not allowed in the league, we dominated them by scores of 28-0, 20-0 and 13-7! Thanks again for your support and I highly recommend your system. I look forward to keeping in touch this season as the Texans look to dominate again using the single wing.
Best regards,

2009 Coach Cisar,
I attended your clinic this year in Cincinnati and wanted to send out a big thank you. (Tall silver/white haired guy in the front row.)Summary of our first preseason game with the new single wing offense.Outscored the opponents 24-6, with the last touchdown coming from our combination 2nd and 3rd string guys. I had to sit my 1st sting guys for the last 8 minutes of play! Talk about min play guys getting in the game. ( we are using your 4 plays minimum per half system too) ave, that’s more points than the team scored in the past two years combined, they’re 8 and 9 year olds. I have some excited parents, coaches and kids, (only the kids were excited before as you warned)
Thanks for your efforts to advance the game of youth football.
Parents and kids are saying this has been the most fun they’ve had playing football ever.
Your system has been heaven sent for this first year youth football coach
Best regards

2009 Bought all your books and videos, went to the clinic in Dallas and ran your system as written. Just played our first game yesterday, happened to be against a perennial Super Bowl contender and we did well. Won 32-12 . Through a couple of scrimmages and now our first real game, your system has been unstoppable.

2009 Coach,
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I attended your clinic in Houston, Tx. this year. I was determined to run a “wing-t” offense this year but after attending your clinic, I was sold on your program and the single wing concept. We were 0-8 last year and the highlight of our entire season was 1 touchdown, that was it. We played our first game this past Saturday and won 31-0 . Also, in regards to your “wide tackle six” defense, the opposing team only got 2 first downs on us the entire game, that was it!
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how well the system seems to be working for us. I know it’s only been one game but my 9 year old boys (all 16 of them) have bought into the system and it looks to be a much better year for us. Thanks for the great concept!

I came to the seminar that you had back in Feb/Mar in Denver and you convinced me to use the 6-2, I may mention you didn't have to twist my arm. Anyway we played this past weekend and let me tell you they came out in shotgun formation sometime four and five wideouts and we just moved around and got on the slot receivers the way you covered in the power points and here was the results.
We had 5 interceptions 1 we took back for a TD we had a safety that was actually a touchdown we played awfully well because that team is very good and they are talented. End result was 28-6 we had two tds called back it should have been worst but that is ok, they had the ball 25 plays to 55 plays for us. Thanks for the tip on the 6-2

2009 Dave, I had to write to say thank you. I have been using your system for several years now with very good success. Today however, I witnessed my team rush for nearly 400 yds and allowed the opposing team only 3 possessions in the game. My squads have rushed like this in the past however today was absolutely special. We played a team that was so much better then us that they scored on the first play of each of their three possessions.
We literally ran them off the field. We slowed the game down as you teach and utilized the no play time and time again. My kids literally left heaps of defenders piled as we kept pounding power, wedge, sweep and reverse. We then recovered onside kicks which put the nails in the coffin. My kids bought into this program big time today. The refs said they never saw a game dominated by time of possession like this. I will cherish this forever, thank you for always being available to help a devote single winger like me.

Coach,

2009 Wanted to let you know how our season is going so far. I coach at Mount Vernon OH 8-9 year olds and this is my first year using your system and we are having a great time so far. We are on our way from being worst to first. Last year we went 1-7 and this year we are 3-0. We have outscored our opponents 100-6! I have followed your game-plan pretty much by the book and have had great success at practices and our games.

Thanks for the wonderful book and DVD.

God Bless,

2009 Thanks for the info Coach!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the work you’ve done. After suffering through a miserable season last year as an assistant coach, my chance came this year as head coach for our school’s 5th/6th grade team. Back in the summer I recruited my coaches, taught them your system, have not allowed any deviations (even though some try) and everything you have said in your book/manual has been true.

We were the doormat last year, this year, everyone is looking at us like “where did these guys come from”. We won our first game, 30-0 and it could have been 80-0. Our B team played more than our A team did that game. Our second game we won 22-8 against a very good team. Their only score came on a kick-off return where we had made some ill advised substitutions, that won’t happen again. So our defense still has not been scored on. The kids are excited, the parents are excited and the coaches are excited!

2009 Dave:

I Have enjoyed reading your book and watching your game films and offensive video. I coach 5 and 6 year olds in The Woodlands, Texas and we play 8 man football at that age. I have had to modify the sainted six to work for 8 man football, but after 2 games, we have not been past 2nd down without scoring. 32-6 first game, 41-6 second game with 6 minute quarters and a running clock after a 28 point lead. I appreciate some of the straight forward ideas that you have put forth to simplify the game for the boys.

Thanks,

Donny Eckhardt

2009 Coach,

I can’t begin to tell you how good this program is working for our team. I am so glad I found your program.

Last year: Our team ran a veer offense and rarely scored. We went 2-8 and our two wins were by 1 or 2 points. In the entire season, maybe 6 kids out of 22 got a chance to touch the football and the only play we could successfully run was a sweep. . The head coach was frustrated and only yelled at the kids, the kids all wanted to quit because the coach yelled at them all the time. Of the 13 that could return to the team this year, none of them requested to be on the same team and all elected to go into the draft.

This year:
I was asked by the league to take over the team as the former head coach “retired”. I invited all returning players (good, bad, big, small, fast, slow) to return under my direction. 10 of the 13 did return and many of the returning players were rarely used last year because of their perceived skill I found your program, decided to follow it (as closely as I could) without deviation. You have done an excellent job with this program. It is not just about an offense and defense, it is putting kids in the right position, handling parents, selling the program to my assistant coaches, and many other points that have nothing to do with the game itself.

I could go on all day, but to summarize…we are 2-0 and the scores of our games were 28-0 and 28-7. Furthermore, in each game I have at least 6 or 8 different kids running, throwing or catching the ball and we are all having a lot of fun. In fact, in our first game we were ahead 28-0 early in the 3rd quarter and I only let our youngest kids run the ball and I had all the older kids blocking. I can’t tell you how excited the boys and the parents were when we did this. Your program is very well thought out, organized and is easy to teach and learn.

Thank you from a very satisfied customer!

2009 Hi coach. Our team is dominating the 6-7 year old league. So far we are 5-0 we average at least 35 points a game and thats only playing 8 minute games and they run the clock after we are up by 20. We have only been stopped on downs 1 time. The other coaches will yell and point the ball is going one way and it goes the otherway for a score. They get so mad. We run the spinner and the defense is lost most of the time my little 3 back scores up the middle. The money I invested is well worth it. The kids are so confident in themselves. The funny thing is we have a draft and I got last pick! They all said you gonna struggle this year!!! Lol. One more thing my kids love the deer hunter game that’s all they wanna do!!!!! Shelton guns

2009 Hi Coach,
This is my second year using your system. Last year I was an offensive coordinator so we only used the offensive part. Needless to say we scored a lot but our defense was the worst in the league. This caused us to win about half of our games last year.
This year I'm Head Coaching my own team and using your system on both sides of the ball. The results have been amazing. In our first 4 games we have scored on every drive and have only given up 2 TD's. I run the 16 Power about 80% of the time and it's averaging about 12 ypc. Usually our games are basically over by half time. I've ended all of our games kneeling the ball down inside the other teams red zone. My players, coaching staff, and parents have really bought into the system. Everyone is treating me like I'm Bill Walsh. I couldn't have asked for a better 1st half of a season. I feel so lucky that I found your system. I was looking for some info on the wish-bone when I accidentally came across your website. That moment has been the best thing that happened to me in my coaching career.
Thanks,
Coach J.R.

2009 Hey Coach,

Just to let you know how we are doing. We have 3 teams running this system. All our teams are completely new, as this is our first season as an organization. We have 3 teams using your plan. I have followed your system step by step and have been able to be very successful. We have played 3 games so far and have not been scored on yet and have put up 93 points. We are the talk of the league. We are probably the smallest team in the league as well. Don't get me wrong they are scrappy and hit like mad men and are not scared of anyone. It is really amazing how good the kids are doing! They are having the time of their lives. Everyday I get thank yous from parents that say their child is having more fun than they have ever had. We owe it all to you and this genius of a system. I will let you know how our other teams are doing when we get them straightened out. They are believers now!

Thanks,

2009 Coach,

I initially thought you had written your book about me. I started coaching my oldest son in the 4th grade and had the same core of extremely talented players for about 5 seasons. We went undefeated twice and the worst we ever did was 5 - 2 (w/one of those losses being a last second fluke play - coaching error on my part).

I realized I wasn't the next coming of Tom Landry when I dropped back down to 4th grade to coach my youngest son and promptly went 1-4 and 2-5 running the same I/pro/wishbone sets. Good kids, but nowhere near the natural talent level and little continuity (being in the middle of the city we get a largely differnt crop of players each season).

Long story short, I heard about your book from a friend. Since putting in the system we've gone 3-0 w/our last win coming against a huge team (my O-line gave up an average of 20-30 lbs a man to their D-line) that had crushed us by 40 points last season.
Anyhow, thought I'd pass that along and say thanks.

Respectfully,

MRT

2009 Coach Dave,
I cant thank you enough for the great book you put out. This is my first year as a head coach after two years as an assistant. Our regular season will be ending in two weeks. We currently are 5-0 and in first place in our division. I was fortunate to have drafted some great kids in our equa-draft, but truly feel the teams success is due to your book and the Single Wing Offense.

In five games we have scored 151 points and only given up 18. We are the highest scoring team in our whole district 2nd-8th grade. In every game so far I have pulled my starting backfield and let our second stringers run the entire second half. If I continued to run my first stringers I'm certain I could have over 200 points scored. We have jumped on teams early scoring on our first offensive play in 4 games. I have had 7 players score touchdowns and have goals to get another 4 in the endzone by seasons end. All my players who are weight eligible to carry the ball have done so. Parents and players have loved the Single Wing and the success we've had with it. We have less fumbles, turnovers or mistakes than any other team in the league. At this point in the season we have still only run the "sainted six" plays. Here is a link to our league standings, we are the ER RED 4th grade team.

2009 Coach Cisar,

The Single Wing works in Canada! With the help of another open-minded coach who runs our 10-11 program, we took your playbook, and '12th man'd it' with a little bit of motion. Everything else we left alone. Result? My 7-9 year old program went 9-2 in the regular season for spring ball. Did I mention that one of the losses was because I am a rookie head coach and we didn't have enough staff on the bench the second game, and we missed a playcount rule. The other loss was to the team that had won the City 6 previous consecutive years. Guess what? We beat that team in the Championship Game, we even scored when we were short a man on the field! We averaged about 9.5 yards/carry, 20 different kids carried the ball, and I had 4 different 100 yard game rushers. Our O-line was engaged...pulling, wedge blocking, and doing some thinking....they love it! The kid that was the hero in the final game ran for 120 yards and 2 TD's...he came out of nowhere on the Spinner 32 Wedge. 7 Shutouts, and only two teams put up double digits scores on us. One of our little-ist guys on the team played DT/Bearcrawler, he was an animal! By the way, the team the previous year finished 4-7 and was in the B-side playoffs.

I love the program, but my opposition hates it...so much so that another club is looking into it right now.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the tips!

2009 Hello Coach Dave,

I am the President of the "Lions Youth Organization" in Denver, Colorado www.lionsyouthorganization.org and the head coach of our 9-10 year old team. Our club play in the Denver Police Activities League (PAL) www.denverpal.com. I love the Single Wing Offense and I appreciate you offering the information on DVD. In the past, I ran a I-Backfield and the Wish-Bone. I replaced it with the Single Wing because the Single Wing is a much fast developing offense. Currently my team is the only undefeated team in their division at 3-0.

Thanks,

2009 Dave,

Just sending a quick update, read your book, attended the Seattle Clinic, and purchased all your DVD's. The 3rd and 4th grade team we took over did not win a game last year and scored only one touchdown the whole season. We have basically followed your system to a T. We scored 7 touchdowns in our jamboree and have averaged just over 35 points a game in our first 3 games, scoring 106 points. Our biggest problem thus far has been keeping the score down, in our league if you get ahead by more than 34 you forfeit the game and the head coach is suspended the next week. Our first defensive group has not given up a score. We have 30 kids on the team and they are all seeing significant and worthwhile playing time. "Ready Focus" works great, utilizing your practice methodologies has kept practice on track with virtually no wasted time.
Kids are enjoying a valuable experience and parents are loving it.

Thanks for your help.

2009 Dave just wanted to again thank you and update you on our teams progress. I am using your system for three years now. The first two were at the Mitey Mite level. The simplicity of the plays and blocking scheme enabled all the kids to play and succeed. The system allowed the young kids to eliminate common youth problems like muffed handoffs and poor blocking. This season we are at the Pop Warner Jr.Pee Wee level using the complete system. Needless to say we are currently 4-0 and running the ball up and down the field for hundreds of yards a game. I have installed the full spin series which has absolutely devastated our opponents defenses. We ran the spin wedge to the blocking back this week three times for Touchdowns. The defenders, refs, and parents had no idea who had the ball until the kid was standing in the end-zone.

We are not a worst to first story because we have been successful since day one implementing your system.We have a large organization with several teams at each age level. We do blind drafts and my teams have significantly out produced the other teams each season. Our other Jr.Pee Wee team with similar talent is 0-4 and has scored 6 points this season. I attended your clinic in Cherry Hill several years ago at a free Glazier clinic. It has turned out to be the best investment of time and money I could have made for the kids.I could not recomend another system for Youth Football in good conscience.
Thank You

2009 Hello Dave,
My name is Tim Grinols. I attended your clinic in Cincinnati OH. I wanted to update you on how our season is going. Last year we went 2-4 in the reg. season & lost in the second round of the B playoffs. This year we are 5-0 with 2 more regular season games left. We beat three of the top teams from past years. What a difference your system has made on our program. This is my first year of calling the plays so I am still learning, but the kids are doing Great! The only problem we are having now is keeping the kids from getting big heads. Thanks for your time.

2009 Coach,
I have bought a lot of your material and adapted it to our balanced line SW formations we run with our middle school varsity kids and our middle school jv kids. We have been running it for 2 years now and we went with that for simplicity, or so I thought. We have so many kids we have 3 teams, a varsity, a jv and a 6th grade team, we dress nearly 60 in total, 35-40% of the boys in the entire school.

I have a great group of 6th graders that are a little immature mentally, physically they are excellent. Well, the balanced line was not working, 5 games and zero points on offense, luckily for us they are fantastic in the WT6 defense, we could move the ball but always had a breakdown at a crucial time. So I switched gears midseason with the young ones and we went with your system and put in a grand total of 6 plays, your Sainted Six. Since then they have had 14 possessions and scored 9 times. We have beaten 2 teams that played a mixture of 6th and 7th graders and one 7th grade only team with nothing more than our 6th graders. Your system is absolutely the best, please keep up the good work!

Thanks again,

I am ecstatic! We are the Spring Branch Rangers.

Game 1) SB Rangers 26 - Bulverde Blue 0 (Bul Blue has won the championship for the last two years - beating us in the semifinal game both years. Scored on KO return, recovered kick and scored on first play. 21-0 at end of first.
Game 2) SB Rangers 35 - DS Tigers - 14 (DS did not lose a game last year at the 7-8 level and the coach is undefeated in 4 years on his teams.) Recovered KO and scored on first play, 29-7 at half.
Game 3) SB Rangers 19 - Bul Red 12. We only had 14 kids for this game (3 out sick) and it was over 95 degrees during our game. Scored on second play, recovered KO and scored on next play. We went up 19-0 in the first quarter but the kids got tired. I also had a sub in at WB and could not run the 43 reverse - he fumbled 3 times on it.

We have all the sainted six plays in, spinner and wedge series and the 16 pass. Looking to now put in the Jet and Burst series mainly for last game and playoffs. I have not had to run anything but the 16 Power, Spinner 26 Power, 43 Reverse, 22 Wedge, 32 Wedge, and Spinner 32 Wedge to win these games. We have scored on the first or second play all three games

Thanks

2009 Hey Dave, I just wanted to let you know how our Mitey Mite team is doing. This is my youngest son’s team that I coach. They were 2-8 last season and we had 3 returning players.

Saturday, we played an undefeated, big and physical team. They had won, 34-0, 36-0 and 38-12 coming in. We are now 3-1.
Thanks for your help, advice and system. I talked with several moms on my older son’s team (they had to endure a 1-10 season last year when I was the DC) and they gushed about our success. Thanks again coach!

Coach,

The results have been very good for my 14-15yr old (Canadian) Bantam team. We are 12-man up here so added a 2nd WB on the left side and a few more plays for that.

In spring we tried implementing our typical qb, tb, fb spread offense but with no talent in the backfield it was a disaster in spring exhibition play. Hoping not to resign this team to what was expected of them I attended your seminar.

Our record to date is 40-0, 39-0, 28-32, 41-6.
The 28-32 result was against a Select team representing a city of 180,000 vs. us who come from a small town of 15,000. Being mid season we expect the opposition to start adapting so will start to bring in our Spin and Jet series.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

2009 Dave,

Here is an update on our team this year. Like I said before we were 2-6 last year .
This year we started from the beginning running the single wing as close to your book as we could with our leagues special rules. As a result we are now 4-1 with our one loss to a very well coached and large team that has been together for four years 10/11 yr old. Also in that loss we had 2 starting O-lineman out sick.

We beat a team in our opener that was predicted to win the championship and beat another team that was undefeated just last week 28-22.. After the game the coach came up to use and said how good our team was and said that our offense is very hard to defend and has not seen anything like it. Thanks again Dave. Our team has one game left before playoffs and we expect to be in the championship bracket now as the only undefeated team is the one who beat us in week 2. We are really hoping for a second chance at those kids.

Hey Dave: Still learning how to run the offense week after week. I have asked you a few questions as I have told you I play in one of the more restrictive leagues around so I have had to adapt things. Love the system and all it offers. Even my skeptical assistants have now admitted it is a good offense and we are scouted every week by other teams. Yet, even with imperfect execution (imperfect coaching but trying to get better!) my team is 5-0 and playing another 5-0 team in a big game this weekend. Last years coach won 2 games with similar group of kids. This is my first year with 10 year olds having coached 7th and 8th grade the last 5 years. . Most of all we are all having a lot of fun because we are competing and scoring. Very happy you have brought this system to us.

Gentlemen, Our 10 year old team went up against our first defense running a GAM-8 or whatever you call it. We were incredibly outmatched by this team in size and numbers, but we still won. With your offensive program our very small team went from 0-7 last year and only scoring 36 points the entire season, to already being 3-2-1 this year with yet another game to go and scoring as many as 40 points in one game! We are a small team with only 15 members, playing teams from Boise with as many as 24 players and giving up roughly 15-25 pounds per player. This is a great program that has given these young boys a pride and excitement for a wonderful game! Thanks.

2009 Hey Coach,

I would just like to say thanks for the time and effort you put into your book, tapes, and website. After going 0-8 last year at the 7 & 8 yr old level, one of my best friends and my assistant coach the last two years purchased your book and several of your offensive tapes. My coach and I watched your tapes, and I must say I was a little skeptical with the line play. I thought it was asking too much to have boy's at this age pulling, trapping, and I was really scared of the weak side of the line (left side). We picked up 5 other assistant coaches (fathers) and I made sure that they all bought into the system before the season started. I have been amazed at the way these boy's have been able to do all of the things we have asked. So far for the season we are 7-2 with four games remaining and are tied for 1st in our league .We have 21 kids on our team (4 restricted because of weight). Of the remaining 17 kids 10 have scored touchdowns for us this year.

We have seen it all this year from parents telling us that they want their kids to play for us next year.

2009 Coach Dave,
Just a quick note to let you know my season ended last weekend. We went 11-0 and won our 4th grade championship. It was the best feeling to put those trophies into the players hands. The attachment is of me and my son!!! I couldn't have asked for a better season for my parents and players.

In 10 games we scored 254 points and had only 37 scored against. The boys not only won, but dominated most games. We stuck to the basic six plays for most of the year except three additional plays I created. The single wing was incredible all year and a big reason for our success.

One of the best things I got from the book was the detailed explanations on what type of kid, to put at each position. I actually drafted players knowing exactly what positions they would be playing, the book was that helpful. Thank you for the emails, the blog, and the Winning Youth Football book, all of it helped in our teams success.

2009 Good morning Coach Dave, I just wanted to take a minute and fill you in on our season. My name is Paul Blouin, and I am from Barre VT. We were looking for a new system to teach our kids, and were having a difficult time finding the right
fit. I found your videos on line and ordered the offense and defensive schemes. We play in the 15 team Northern Vermont Youth Football Leage. Last year our record was 2-4 and we ended up playing in the bottom half playoffs, losing in the first round. This year, we are 6-0 and ranked number 1 in the state. The transformation was amazing. It took a whilefor the kids to buy into the system of the single wing, but the results speak for themselves. We have played teams that are bigger, stronger, and faster than us. But the simplicity of the offense has worked in our favor as the season wears on. We open playoffs tomorrow morning, and we hope we will continue with the same success we had in the regularseason.

Thank you so much for creating a great video which taught us so much, and helped our kids really love the game of football. It's a fun offense and the kids love it.

Thanks again

2009 Hi Dave, I just wanted to update you on my football team's progress this year. We are a 7-8 year old POP-WARNER team from Eugene, Oregon . So far, we are 3-0 running your single wing "vaunted offense!" We have our opponents by a combined score of 78-27! In our league you are not allowed to win by more than 27 points so once we are up, "we put the brakes on!"

I have coached for over 15 years and have never had a complete offensive system to run until we ran yours! I have an (MPR) parent that actually takes notes of what the other coaches are saying during games about our team. Since she is on their sideline most of the game she has relayed to me that these coaches are amazed at how low our running backs are in the backfield and that their defense has very little clue of who is running with the ball until it is usually too late!

Thanks, Jacky Allard

2009 Hey Coach,
Let me first start by introducing myself. I am the head coach of the Parkview Panthers 7yr old football team, we're located in Stone Mountain, Ga. Last year our kids finished their season a horrid 0-8, with their confidence completely shaken to say the least. I was invited to your coaching clinic this past spring and was convinced your offensive and defensive systems were the ones for me. I ordered all your DVD's and immediately began implementing it. Doing everything exactly the way you instructed. I at first, had to deal with all the "Nay Sayers" and sideline coaches second guessing everything I did. We started out the season with a loss in double overtime 32-28. I then made some personnel changes and we haven't looked back since. We've run off 7 straight victories while averaging 30 points a game and playing minimum play players 12 plays a game. We've got two more regular season games left before the playoffs start and we currently sit alone in first place. Needless to say, I've got everybody praising me and my system now and on the bandwagon. I just wanted to thank you so much for your help, and I will continue to refer more coaches to Website. Your coaching tips are great and perfect for youth footbal. I'll keep you updated as we go for our first 7 year old championship. Thanks again,

Montay Parker

2009 Hey Dave,
It's Tim Grinols from the Ellicottville Eagles Football team in Western New York. Well we are still having a great Season. We ended the regular season 7 - 0 and are ranked #1 in the playoffs. Our offense has racked up 1729 yards this year with 23 touchdowns coming from 7 different kids. Our defense has only allowed 84 points this year.
Well thanks for your time & I will update you of how the season turns out for us.

2009 Hi Dave,
I just finished coaching a 9 year old team here in Boise, Idaho. I followed your system exactly how you said and we just finished up 7-0. We also scored 214 points and gave up 14 for the entire season. Thanks for everything,

2009 Howdy Dave,
As you know, I’ve been running your system in what is now the largest youth football organization in Indiana for three years. In year one, I implemented about 10% of your system as I was very unprepared for the season and we went 2-5 with a 3rd grade team. Last year we flew you in for a clinic after our 4th grade draft and one week before week one and we had a great season at 5-2 and made the playoffs but lost our first game.
This year, I went back to 3rd grade with my youngest son and tried to do it all 100% from draft day, to pre-season, to game time. We had an incredible season. We drafted just the right players, no super fast kids or big giant kids, just a lot of average sized to smaller sized kids with quick feet. We used the heck out of the fit and freeze drill and splatter tackle drill, as well as progression teaching the blocks and the wedge. From that point on, we went 6-0, outscoring our opponents 149-52 and many of the points allowed were with back-ups in. We won our first playoff game 30-12 after being up 30-6 at the half and calling off the dogs. Then we went on to win the Championship game 26-0!
Thanks again for all of your help, you have made the last 2 months special for about 15 3rd graders and their parent who had a total blast this season. I’ve never had so many encouraging e-mails from parents all season long who have heard all of the detractors and complainers all season and supported us 100%. We warned them in the parent meeting, and they heard it and were prepared. Take care.

2009 Coach,
Today we finished our perfect season. I can't believe I was able to go undefeated in my first year as a head coach. I never played a down of organized football in my life and spent 2 miserable years as an assistant coach on teams with no organization or direction. When I found your system I became obsessed with it. I couldn't stop reading and re-reading the book. Everything in it just made sense to me even though I didn't know anything about coaching football.
This season we were never stopped on any drive. We scored at will. Even though we scored a ton of points I was most proud of our defense. We shut out half of the teams we played and the other half only scored once each on us. We were by far the hardest hitting team in the league.
The truly amazing thing about this season is that we practiced less than any other team and we had more fun. All of the other teams would stare at us with envy as our team was running around laughing while playing the deer hunter game. The local H.S. team would even stop by and watch our practices as we did our defensive tackling drills. They were amazed at how my young players performed during the 3-slot challenge. I want to thank you for putting together such a great system. I have never bought a "miracle product" before off of the internet. I'm very skeptical of every ad that I see. Taking a chance on your book was the best thing I ever did. I have also read every blog on your site and I check it twice a day for updates. Keep posting them. I love reading them. I just can't get enough of Winning Youth Football. Thanks again,
J.R.

2009 Dave,

This was our first year running your system and it was a great success.
We ended the season 6-2-1. Our two losses were very close games to very good teams. We did very well considering we played most of the season with no striped players (the one we had, had a broken arm most of the season) and we were outweighed overall by at least 30 lbs per player in every game. We also played half 4th graders and half 5th graders, 7 of the nine teams we played are only 5th graders. The best thing about the season was the overwhelming amount of compliments we got from our parents, refs and opposing coaches and players. Even though we weren't big or fast, we were very well disciplined. We had many refs and opposing coaches tell me after our games that they couldn't believe our little guys played the way they did. I can't wait to run your system when we have a team loaded with talent and size. Our offense averaged 3 touchdowns per game (8 minute quarters, no kickoffs) and the next best offense in the league averaged just over 10 pts per game. Most games in the league ended up 8-0, 6-8, 7-6, etc..

I think we also took subbing players to the extreme, which in my opinion is a good thing. In our last game, we were up by 4 points with 3 minutes left. The opposing team was driving down the field so I told our subbing coach that maybe we should put our entire first team defense back in to try and stop them. He yelled for the first team and 8 guys ran up off the sideline. I think that was a huge statement to our parents when they saw that we sub the entire game, start to finish. We had 26 kids and every couple of plays, 2-6 new kids would go in, thru the entire game. On only a couple of occasions all season did I put the first string in for more than two consecutive plays.

Probably the biggest compliment yet was after our game yesterday, the kids begged me to let them have one last week of practice. Are you kidding me! We have no games left and they still want to practice. I agreed to have one more practice tonight. I will be surprised if we don't return all of them next year.

We are planning to attend one of your clinics next year. When will you have dates set?

Thanks

2009 Dave,
We (the Aztec Apes) just completed our 2009 season on Saturday the 24th of October. We won the championship game to go 11 - 0. We scored 275 points this season and allowed 56. We averaged 5 yds a carry on offense with power and wedge being our bread and butter plays, although the spinner series was very effective also. We incorporated your system in 2007 and since that time we are 29 and 1 winning 97% of our games. The offense is catching on here in the 4 corners as I have seen 4 other teams running it.If you can't beat'm, join'm I guess. Thanks for all your knowledge and support.

2009 Coach,

What a fantastic year!! We had our Championship game on Sunday and we won 14-0. Anyway, we went 8-0. Scored 278 points and allowing only 12, having over 2700 yards averaging just under 13 yards per carry. I had everyone who wanted to run the ball at least once run it (about 17 of the 23) with 8 different kids scoring touchdowns. From a team that scored only once in 07 to a team that went 1-7 in 08 when I took over a month into the season to now the champions of our league in 09. The most dominant team I have ever coached and I have to thank your system for that. I used most of your philosophies in your book and your dvd's. Thanks for producing such a awesome system for our youth.

God Bless,

2008 Coach Cisar,
I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance this season. Our 9 year olds had a perfect season going 12-0 and winning the Super Bowl. It was exciting to see our team do so well running your Single Wing offense and Wide Tackle Six defense. Here are some of the stats from our 12 game season: Scoring Offense, 44 points per game average, 79 Total TDs scored , 3 running backs with 15 or more TDs ,5 running backs with at least 5 TDs. Just 5 lost fumbles and only 3 punts Defense 9 SHUTOUTS IN 12 GAMES! Allowed 52 total points for the season. Just 19 1st downs allowed.

You and your system were so instrumental in our success. I sincerely appreciate you being available via email throughout our season to answer any/all questions. Our kids were so excited and proud of their accomplishments. To any other coaches out there looking to find the right offensive/defensive system to install for their teams, look no further. Thanks again Coach Cisar!

Best regards,
Coach Bobby Williams, East Cobb Vikings
2008 Coach,

I was a first year football coach and had never played. I ordered your complete package and with the help of other fathers had a banner yearby anybody's standard. My 9 and under league team went undefeated outscoring opponents 237- 23 over an 8 game schedule. Now get this, I took my league team with the addition of a few other children including some athletic kids that had not even played football.....practiced 9 times... AND PLACED THIRD IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT ! ! ! I do appreciate your teaching techniques and look forward to improving my application of your system next year.

Best regards,

2008 Coach Dave,
I wanted to let you know how instrumental the video’s and coaching guides were in our championship season this year. We dominated the division with only 1 loss during the regular season (by 1 point). Our Spanish Fort 7/8 year-old team has implemented the tools that you have provided making our team and coaching staff much stronger. We play several other teams within Baldwin County, Alabama and were unstoppable. As a result we have had many parents approach our coaches about how to get their boys on our team next year.

I first found out about Winning Youth Football after watching a average talented Jupiter team almost win the state championship in Florida and a good friend of mine win a championship in the local city football league. Being that I coached at the high school level for 4 years and youth league football for 9 years, I was skeptical at first about the single wing at first. When this season started, I planned on running the single wing about 20 - 25% of the time while running my other offensive sets. I soon figured out that Dave's system could not be stopped, and we started running it 75% - 85% of the time. My team defeated the Jupiter team in a hard fought battle for the Conference Championship, and then proceeded to win the state and Southeast Region of the US championship in Pop Warner. We were the FIRST team in the history of our conference (over 35 years) to make it to the Pop Warner Super Bowl at Disney. We were in some regional playoff games that we won because we ran the single wing and the other team didn't know how to defense it. We ended up finishing 3rd in the country and beat the 8th ranked team in the country 33 - 0. Also, my friend that helped me install the single wing won his league championship for the second straight year at the city league running Dave's system. The Spinner series is my favorite series that is unstoppable if executed properly. Also, the Jet series was a great part of our offense with my quarterback's ability to throw the ball so well. Whether you are new to coaching or have coached for 20 years, I HIGHLY recommend Dave's video's if you want to be a successful youth football coach.

Thanks,

2008 Coach Dave...the year was a huge success considering this was a new Christian youth football program that a bunch of us started to help promote football to kids by instilling in them a real passion for the game, develop a feeder program for our high school and take a meaningful Christ centered approach to an organized youth sport...we used the single wing offense almost exclusively and added a few of our own wrinkles to it as the season progressed-as we remained undefeated and started getting scouted...only one other team ran the single wing on us the big difference in the game was our disciplined execution giving us a measureable advantage...one of the best things we got from your CD series was your practice schedule, and practice techniques-these were priceless: (1)how to teach angle form tackling in stages, (2) the various games that help make practice really fun for the kids-i could go on and on...60 percent of my 11 year olds had never strapped on a chin strap prior to this season...we ended up ranked second in our division and eventually lost to a very experienced team who had an undefeated season...I do not believe that we would have had nearly the success we did, nor the fun without using your CD series as a base to build a solid football program...several of my boys got very emotional the night we played our last game knowing that the season was over...as a coach i felt the next day like a kid the day after Christmas...all the fun would have to wait until next summer...thanks for the priceless memories Coach Cisar...your program rocks!!

Coach Dave,
Just wanted you to know how awesome your system is. I found your website ( just by luck!) and immediately bought into your teaching method. I purchased the Step by Step plan book, Implementing the Single Wing DVD, The perfect practice DVD and Smothering defense DVD. Our season was a great success. Our 9-10 old yr team ended the season with the #1 ranked Defense, in 8 regular season games only 18 points scored against. Our offense was second in the league in points scored and we were the number one seed going into the playoffs. We ended our season with a loss in the first round 14-13 but a very successful season. The parents and the players bought into your system I plan on attending your clinic this spring ’09 when you come down to Dallas, look forward to meeting you and have lots of questions… One thing maybe you can help God Bless and Merry Christmas, Tyler Stewart, Dallas Texas

2008 Dear coach Dave. Your system is the best I have seen. I am looking forward to attending your clinic and meet you in Denver in 2009. The book and DVDs are awesome and a must have. I used your system in 2007 and again in 2008 and we went undefeated for two consecutive years allowing 7 points scored against us in 07 and 13points in 08. we have a total of 14 kids on the team so some kids had to play both sides of the ball but they loved it and never complained. We have kids and parents from other teams wanting to a part of the falcons. thanks for all the coaching tips and support from your bog.

Sincerely:

Coach Dave
I wanted to drop you a note about our 2008 season. I am the head coach for the Modesto Christian Kingsmen Novice youth football team, which is 9 and 10 year olds. Overall we had a great year.

We were very methodical in implementing the offense exactly as outlined in your materials, and this was key in laying a good foundation for our kids. We never added anything in the way of formations or plays. By mid-season we were ready to add the Jet Series and this really helped us cope with adjustments that other teams were making after our 5 – 0 start. I would also add that our parents and kids really have bought into the Single Wing and they love the idea that we run something that no one else in the area runs. The Wedge is our signature play, and our fans love it when we run it, and we have taken the time to coach it step by step so we are successful with it. Thanks again for all your help and for the great materials that you make available.

All the Best Jim Struck

2008 Coach,
This past season has been great and it is all thanks to your books and dvd's. We went 6-2 for the season and the wedge was our most productive play during the season. Our offensive line really took pride in their blocking. I coach a 12U team and after you sent me the Burst Series back in December we implemented it in one night. With a combination of the wedge out of the jet and the sweep out of the jet we made it to the Georgia Parks and Recreation Championship after beating teams 30-7 and 28-14. We ended up losing in the last minute 14-19. We turned our season around on the defensive side of the ball as well on the offensive side. This past off season I did so much research finding out what worked and what didn't, your series did the trick. I have been coaching youth football for 8 yrs now and I wish I had this sooner. We purchased the ultra package and it had everything we needed it is well worth the money. My coaches and I will be attending your clinic in Atlanta on March 21st.

Thanks
Tom Ravita, Atlanta Georgia

Coach, By the way- we went 5-1-1 this year , and using your 6-2 defense our first team D only allowed 2 TDs the whole year.

Thanks for all of your work.

Dave,
This is my third year, very successful year once again. We finished our season 8 - 2. we got beat in the State Championship Game for the third year in a row. We got beat by a much superior team, with huge players. The Single Wing continues to be devastating. We had a basically young team this season, but that didn't seam to make a difference.

Next year we will have 17 boys returning from this years team, and with a little bit of luck, and I will be disappointed if we don't win the Sate Championship Game.

If you could send your new additions to the book, I would be greatly appreciative. To Date I have bought all of your information and DVD's.

Thanks,

Dear Dave,
My name is Jeff Sanders, I coach a JV little league team. The 2007 season was my first year coaching and needless to say we did not have a good year. We have an 8 game season and we scored 6 touchdowns and only won one game. I couldn't understand why because we had just as much talent as the others teams in the league. After the season was over I knew that I had to try to do something to turn the program around so I starting looking on the internet for anything to help me be a better coach. When I saw your program I knew this would work so I bought a package.

After watching the DVD's and reading the book I was so excited. I called a coaches meeting and went over your program, all of the coaches were just as excited. I found that having the sainted six down and easing the boys into tackling with the base defense was a winning combination.

We went from the worst team in the league to the highest scoring and giving up the least points and winning the league championship in 2008. This is the first time that the JV has ever won the first place title. Me, the coaching staff, kids and their parents would like to thank you for taking your time to put together this program. The hard work that you have done made my job easy.

Thank you,

Coach Cisar,
Hello. I just wanted to thank you for the time you put in to update the Blog. It has provided me with many tips and insight for coaching. Many of the tips apply to coaching any sport. I purchased your complete system two years ago and purchased the Smothering Defense DVD last year. Both have helped me tremendously develop the kids to reach their potential.

Our league is made up of towns with populations anywhere between 3,000 to 50,000 people. We compete against towns that are 3-4 times our size. Since implementing your system two years ago, we have been able to compete against these teams. We don't always win against the larger teams, but are able to move the ball and score against them. We were consistently being blown-out prior to using your system. When we play towns that are similar in size to us, we have done very well.

Thank you for help.

2008 Dave,
This was my fourth year as head coach, coaching in the same league as the kids that feed into High School power Bellevue. In those years we went 5-24. This year after your clinic in Issaquah, Washington, we bought into your system and went 7-0 and won our division, with the same kids as the year before. We scored over 250 points after scoring just 50 points the previous year. I implemented your system straight out of the book and I’m a true believer. Thanks for all you’ve done.

Dave,
My name is Chris Caliendo, I played line backer for Nebraska 1986-89 and then helped coach the freshman line backers in 1990. My son started contact football this past year and I signed up as coach. (More like pressured into it) knowing the game well but unsure how to explain it to Christian school 5th and 6th graders I searched the internet for help. That’s when I came across your web site. Knowing Tom Osborne and Dave Remington personally, I bought into your program. Not a week went by that my kids weren’t out sized and out manned on the field by there opponents. But the techniques and strategies I learned from your program gave these kids an incredible advantage over their opponents. We ended the season with a perfect 7-0 record. It was incredible to see these kids develop as quickly as they did, and having fun doing it. I truly believe I would have not been so successful without your program. I would like to say thanks, for giving my team a season they will never forget, gaining a love for the game that can only come from such a great first experience, And for giving them such a huge sense of accomplishment that will stick with them many years. (and not to mention, making me look like a hero)

Sincerely,
Chris Caliendo

My name is Marion "Reggie" Hill. For the last two seasons I have been the coach of the Top Flight Cardinals (7-8 and 9-10 year olds). I have been a disciple of the single wing, more importantly I have implemented your system of teaching and equipping youth to play the game of football. All of the resources I have purchased from you have been invaluable, from setting up a system of expectations and values for the parents to developing kids into young men with the confidence to play the greatest game ever.

This last year my Mighty Mite Cardinals (7-8 year old) went undefeated, 8-0. These kids ran the single wing system to perfection and always scored more than 30 points a game. The implementation of your wide tackle 6 defense shut down opposing teams and our defense never gave up more than 6 points a game. The kids had a blast, the parents loved it and it was fun to watch their development as they progress to the next level playing in the Junior Pee Wee league.

Dave,
It really isn't my nature to write this type of missive, but I wanted to convey my sincere thanks for what was probably the most rewarding seasons of my 16 years of coaching youth football. After watching the tapes and reading your books, I not only installed the most productive system I have ever coached, but eliminated numerous negative procedures that I had always considered partof effective coaching. I am truly more excited about coaching the game than I have ever been. I plan to avail myself of your knowledgeand experience as much as possible. As far as I am concerned, you have truly figured "it" out.

I'd like to give a shout out to Dave Cisar. I took over offensive and defensive coordinater responsibility for a 3-7 team this year. I knew I wanted to run the Single Wing and I turned to Dave's book as a template. We put in his WT6 defense and Dave's SW offense with a few tweaks. Our team went from 3-7 in '07 to 12-0 and league champions in '08. We gave up just over 3 points a game (no one scored more than 6 on us,) and we had to pull the starting backfield in all but two games (not an easy feat with 15 players on the roster.)

Coach Sully
Menominee. Michigan

Coach Dave,
I implemented your winning youth football plan and our team went 11-0 in the 8 yr old Alpharetta Youth Football Association and won the championship. Over 13 games our defense gave up a league low of just 40 points. Our special teams averaged recovering one onsides kick per game, some games we got 2.

On offense we controlled the ball and we scored enough to win every game, and many times ran the clock out. I am hoping I can make the Atlanta clinic and can talk to you in person.

Take care,
Dave Wiedman
Atlanta, Georgia

2008 Coach Dave,
We used your system last year with our two first year teams in the 8U & 10U divisions. The 8U was coached by a “true” first year coach and myself. We tweaked your system to fit our kids and to the league we compete in. Our kids had some success going a combined 20-2. Both teams had early loses, both winning rematches later in the season and/or at the leagues super bowl. We truly appreciate what you do and how you do it.

Best regards,
Don Vrana, Dallas Texas

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing the knowledge and experience you have gained through your years of coaching youth football. What I have learned from your website, book, videos, and clinics have helped me, a man with no coaching experience, turn around a program that had a reputation of being one of the worst teams in the league into one of the best teams in a very competitive conference. After two years of watching my son play for coaches who wasted practice time, concentrated on a core group instead of every player, openly argued with each other in front of the kids, and had no real plan I asked our commissioner to let me coach my own team. In 2006, I was given an all new Mitey-Mite team to coach. I knew having basic knowledge of fundamentals, common sense, and a love for the game was not going to be enough. I was in need of a good offensive and defensive strategy, a good overall plan. After reading about your system and beliefs, I was sold. I received the book and DVD package only two months before the season, and took a crash course.

With a short time to learn, and only having my sixteen-year-old son who never played as my only assistant, I knew it would be tough. We are a Police Athletic League sponsored team that plays in a very tough Pop Warner conference in Northeast Florida. In 2007 we went 6-2 in the regular season and scored the third most points in the league. One loss was 20-7 to the defending Division II National Champion Flagler Bulldogs. We gained a lot of attention in our conference by beating teams that normally whipped us. I'm looking forward to seeing you again April 4th in Orlando.

Coach Mike Schild

2008 Coach,
Just a quick thank you for your football material, its working wonders so far. Our team didn't win a game last fall and only scored 12 points total during the season. So far in the spring season we're 3-0 and our average score is 33-0.

Thank you!

I’d been studying your system for about eight months and decided to use it for a 9 & 10 year old league. I am a first time coach and was handed a new (expansion) team and none of the kids had played football together but most teams in this league have played together since they were six years old as a team. We’ve been very successful running the Single Wing even being grossly outsized in most games.

We have a dominant team in the league that so happens to run your Single Wing as well and they know how to defend it very well too (they are undefeatedWe were the 5th seed out of 24 teams and currently we are at 8-2-1. Not bad for a coach who didn’t even know much about football a year ago!! Thanks for taking the time to write the binder and I would highly recommend it to any coach because it wins football games and the kids have a great time too!!

Very Best Regards,
Mike Redden, HC Keith Bills

2008 Dear Coach -
I was asked to be a head coach of one of the two 4th grade teams for 2008. With much trepidation I agreed, but only after buying and watching ALL your DVDs and reading your book. We were 3-6 last year and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Our team was small and less than enthusiastic about playing this year, especially broken up into 2 teams.

All the experienced coaches were on the other 4th grade team. I was the only coach with any experience and we had only 1 running back on the team with any experience touching the ball. None of my other coaches ever coached football before..

Well, because of you and your system, we went undefeated into the Championship Game. We were 10-0 playing the only other undefeated team on a very cold day (coldest day we ever played in - wind chill below 10 degrees) against a much bigger team.

We lost 18-14 but the kids played hard and learned a lot about themselves and what it means to be on a team. Just want to say thanks!

2008 Coach Dave,
I used you system this year and this was my first year coaching. The league was 5th and 6th graders and we have a minimum play rule that made us have two teams that would alternate offense and defense between quarters. We play with 8 min quarters and the clock ran most of the time. After I went back and applied your fixes from the book, we started winning and scoring lots of points. We finished 5-1 down the stretch with us winning our championship game and we averaged about 20 points per game during that stretch. We had 12 different players score. We only had 15 plays, but teams hated playing us because if we didn't break open a big run, we would take a whole quarter to drive and score.

Thanks for helping us out,
Clifford Mulligan

2008 Dave,
I had more criticism this year than any previous year from opposing coaches and parents for running the Single Wing, but our kids and parents had a ball. We could have been a .500 team but were 10-1.

Thanks,

2008 Dave:
I coached a 6th grade team this season and we used your 6-2 defense as our base and it was tremendous. In 12 games, we only allowed 1 TD. Our average yards allowed was under 2 yards per play. The scheme was simple but highly effective as it kept offensive lineman off our linebackers who were able to tackle everything they saw. Keep the great information coming! Coach Matt Hunniford.

2008 Dave,
We had a great season. It was our second season with the Single Wing, the first season using your methods. We have a team with good speed, but no one with real "break away" speed. Your system allowed us to capitalize on the talent we had, and really spread the ball around. All 8 of my backs got in the end zone this year. I am the head coach, but I am also the offensive line coach, and I really enjoyed the simplicity of your blocking schemes, again, it allowed us to really capitalize on the talent we had available. We won our post season tournament, against the only other team we played that also ran the single wing. How about that! The 2 teams in the finals both ran the Single Wing!

Your system, the book, the videos, the blog and the regular emails have been a HUGE part of our success and I am forever grateful.

Thanks,

2008 Dave,
I read your book and was very excited about getting started and even used your sample speech for the first parent meeting . There were a few skeptics early on, but in the end, the parents were very supportive of what we were doing. After reading your book Winning Youth Football, I implemented everything in the book as you suggested and made every effort to introduce everything in a step by step progression. Our Offense finished with the highest point total in our 14 team division scoring 25.5 points per game with a mercy rule. We scored on the number one ranked defense in the league who shut out all other opponents and made it to the semifinals. This was a tremendous accomplishment considering our team went 1-8 the year before and two of the four starting backs were first year players. All of the other players were either first or second year players. Our first playoff win came against a coach who has been coaching youth football for 15 years. I was very proud of our kids and confidently can say that your system is the best out there for youth football. It was a ton of fun and I can't wait to get started again next year and build on our successes. The kids all want to come back and play again next year.

Thank you for your tremendous efforts as a coach and educator!

2008 Dave,
I took over our local youth football program 2 years ago, I had 12 years of high school coaching experience running option football to the spinner series run by the state of Wisconsin legendary high school coach Marty Crowe. Our program is the smallest out of 46 schools; the winning percentage from 1993 to 2006 was .135%. So we all decided as a staff that we would commit to run the Single Wing. Against the programs in our league that are similar in size to ours we averaged 36 points a game.

Rick Hughes

Hey Dave,
First of all let me say thank you because I honestly feel as though your system may have saved our youth football program. Our program had been struggling both on the field and as an organization. I am the offensive coordinator of our Widget team and we had experienced several unsuccessful seasons and most levels. Our head coach Terry Williams and I saw a presentation that you gave at Indian Lakes. I admit, he was sold but I was not so sure about the program at first. I purchased the book and DVD's and the more I studied the system the more I liked what I saw. It motivated and taught our coaches to be better and really helped us identify some errors that we were making. Also the structure and organization of a proven system seemed to be just what we needed.

From the very beginning the implementation of you system showed benefits for our program. Most importantly it was obvious that our players were having a lot more fun and really brought in to it. It was easy to see the positive impact that it had on our players. Some of them told their friends and new players began to join our team. This was critical because during the past few seasons we were losing more and more players and families because of organizational problems that limited our ability to be successful. This season was clearly a success and gives us something to build on. It also it has created excitement within our program that was not there before. We had a winning season, made the playoffs, and were complimented by several opposing coaches about how great a team we were. I can honestly say that our team has earned a great deal of respect.

As a coach it was so reassuring to have your system and tips to refer to. Sometimes it actually felt like I you were there on the sidelines with me instructing me about how to game plan and make adjustments. As you know coaching can be tough but thanks to your system and products, I've found that it's much more rewarding. I really felt like our kids enjoyed themselves and had the opportunity to enjoy success. We are all more excited about football.

Thanks Again

Just a quick note from Nashville, Tennessee; we are the 2008 Mid-State CCC Champions 7-8 year old division.

Thanks,

Hello coach,
We went 26-4, over the last 2 years with your system and hope to go undefeated next year at age 9-10.

Thanks for the help.
Leon Amerson

Dear Dave
I met you in Boston several years ago and I purchased your system on the Single Wing. I stayed in touch with you by email for a while and kept your information. I moved on from coaching the E team and D team as head coach to being voted director of coaches in our program and working with all of the coaches. I also have been the O and D line coach at the Brighton High School Bengals in Brighton Mass, for the past two years. As a coach at Brighton HS In 2007 we went undefeated and were 12-0 with a perfect season and we won the Division 4 Superbowl. (The base wedge is our big play in the red zone and in must get situations). In 2008 we were 7-2 and just missed another playoff spot by an 18-14 game against O Bryant HS. As Vice President and Director of Coaches at Brookline-Jamaica Plain Pop Warner I have helped our program over the past seven years grow from a total of 66 players to 250 players and six fully staffed teams. Each year the program has grown in size and proficiency. This year 5 out of 6 teams were in the playoffs in the Merrimack Valley League. Two teams played off in the New England Championships last Saturday (C level and D level). This week our D team will be competing on Saturday @ 1PM in the National title playoffs in Disney and tonight was the last practice of the season. As director of the coaches I have used your materials to help organize practices and make more effective use of time.

I taught the wedge play at the E team and D team levels to the coaches as well. The league is moving us up to division 1 because of our overall success and record and we are viewed by others in the league as a model football program. The most important elements of your winning football materials is, in my opinion building character and getting organized. As coaching director I encourage all coaches to develop their own system and we stick to a few basics, the dive-wedge, sweep, and reverse plays and each team must run those plays first. To me personally the wedge play is the greatest play in football to run because it requires a team effort and is what football is all about. I look forward to seeing you again at the Glazier clinics in Boston this year on Feb. 14 and I'll make sure I touch base with you. Keep up the good work and have a blessed Christmas.

Hey Coach -
Leaving the Reno clinic after watching your session and buying your DVDs last March my staff and I were extremely excited. We installed a lot of your efficient methods, worked on baby steps leading to full speed, and put in a few of your fun games - towel "tug" And then we did "deer hunter" because a) kids loved it and b) we did not have any returning key players (QB, RBs, LBs - all moved up) so we had to evaluate from scratch and this was a great game of watching them move "naturally".

Anyway, the biggest "speed bump" that we ran into was ... the parents. They didn't buy into this "fun" we were having and wondered why we weren't doing more "tackle football" drills. First of all we were Mighty Mites (6-8yr olds) and loved your approach and don't regret at all using your methods. Second, like I said we had zero key personnel and shoot we just wanted to make sure these kids were returning the next day so we could have a team! Of course we ran other drills that worked on blocking (love the bird drill on the shoeshine getting them to reach and step quickly) and tackling. Thing is the kids LOVED what we did so I knew we were doing the right thing.

The one thing I took out of this season was it's about the kids ... not the parents!!

Coach Goodell

2008 Hi Coach,
Last year was our first year utilizing your system and your coaching methods. The system works great! The DVD’s were excellent and really brought the assistant coaches up to speed on what we needed to accomplish. Your coaching theories were very helpful and appropriate for our youth league. We took a team that was 1-8 last year to 7-2. Our Defense was really strong with 4 shutouts and 3 games with only one TD allowed. Our Offense did well with the Sainted Six.

Thank you,
Coach Zack, La Jolla Torreys

I implemented the Single Wing this year at the 7-8yr old level in a very competitive league in Southern California. I only just 4 boys who had every played tackle football before. We did not have much speed nor size. Not many people gave us a chance to win one game. We finished with a overall record of 9-4 making it to the semi finals and we never got shut out. The teams we lost to were either in the Championship game or the Superbowl. Needless to say I was very impressed with my boys and the Single Wing.

This is the 2nd season with your offense and we won our division and played in the Championship game. The offense was better this year with a year under our belts and the kids started the season already prepared for the offense. The kids had a great time and the parents were very happy.

Thanks coach,

2008 Coach,
We ran your Single Wing offense this year with our little guys. We went 10-3 and won a League Championship and Harvest Bowl. Thanks for all the info, I’m hungry for more next season.

Coach Shelton
South Berkely Broncos, Inwood West Virginia

2008 Coach Dave,
First of all, thanks for the incredible book you have written. I bought it on CD, printed it out, and used it religiously. This is my second year coaching 5th-6th grade football and my team went 6-1 this year. Last year, I did not have your book, but ran the Single Wing and we went 3-4. I can’t tell you the difference having your SERIES based plays made. We scored 128 points this year on offense. Every game except two we had won by halftime and I let up completely in the second half.

We installed your Wide Tackle Six by the book and minus our one loss, had only 28 points scored us on all year. The Wide Tackle Six really worked well for us this year.The entire year I had the 7th-8th grade coaches telling us how much fun our team was to watch, how organized we were at practice, and how deceptive the SW really was. The best compliment of all, though, was from the coaches of two other teams. The first coach told me how they just could not stop our wedge during the game. He then told me that they had tried to simulate our offense all week in preparation for the game, but he just could not make it look right to show his kids what we would do in the game. That made my season right there. The second coach said said, “I knew your plays, and I still couldn’t stop you.” We are now the only team in the league running it and I surely hope no one else picks it up.

My coaches and I have decided to stay at 5th-6th grade level, even though my son will be moving up. The parents are begging us to move up as well. So I guess you could say all the kids and parents really like the system.

2008 Coach Cisar,
I just had to write you a quick note to tell you about our organizations turnaround using your methods. We are a county Park and Rec team in North Georgia. My son has played two years as a 7 and 8 year old player. The first year his team went 0-8 and barely scored. The second year his team went 2-6 and scored 34 points in 8 games.

This frustration led me to your system. After researching many programs, yours was an "A to Z" formula that could take just about any caring adult and make them a decent football coach. When all the organizations in our leagues were compared, we were solidly at bottom in my sons age group. This group who had so little success, went from not being able to score to being the second highest scoring team in the league. We did all this with 4 of our best players playing "up" with the 10 year olds. While we didn't run the table, all of our kids had an enjoyable season and we had 0, yes zero, parent complaints. I was told by several parents that this was the best athletic experience they have ever had in any Park and Rec sport. That was worth the time alone. I have also been assured that the players who played "up" will be playing with our age group next year.

We fostered a love of the game in the children and the parents. Our success energized the community. This is a huge step for the sport in a community that is desperate to develop a winning tradition in football.

I guess what I am getting at is that the success goes so much farther than just the football field. We have kids that were timid and hesitant who are now outgoing and confident. We are helping instill community values by tying them into participation with our teams. The material you provide is worth the asking price just for the football results; however the other collateral results are priceless.

2008 Hi Dave.
We had a great year. Played for the league title, lost but so what. It was the best year ever for these kids. We just would get 3 yards, or 4 or 5 yards at a time. The 16 power was unstoppable. the kids loved the no play it worked everytime, plus we recovered almost all of are kickoffs. The games would end with the other team hardly touching the ball. Although we even scored 68 points one game . I want to thank you so much for everything. I will be running the jet series next year,

Coach Scott

2008 Dear Dave,
I am a youth football coach in Connecticut. I ordered your book in the off season, and have read sections of it literally thousands of times. I installed the Single Wing offense, the 6 – 2 defense, many of your special team ideas, and a majority of your practice methodology. I am the only team in our organization that uses any of your ideas. Playing a much tougher schedule last year, we finished 5 – 2, upset the #1 seeded undefeated team in the first round of the playoffs, but got smoked 18 – 0 by another undefeated team in the championship game. This year, playing a pretty good schedule, we went undefeated during the regular season (8 – 0), and gained the top seed for the playoffs. We had 11 different players score offensive touchdowns, and several games where every running back carried the ball at least once. We again made it through the playoffs all the way to the championship game, but again got smoked 26 – 0 by the other undefeated team in the league. I can’t say enough good things about your coaching methodology and ideas – it has made me a much better coach, and my players much better in the skills of football. It was head and shoulders easily the best football investment I have ever made.

Sincerely,
John Woodring

2008 Hello Dave,
I used your version of the single wing offense and was very pleased with the results. I coaches a team of 8 & 9 year olds, with 4 players that have ever played before, and finished my season with an above .500 record. I had absolutely no speed, very few "athletes" and was able to not only compete but dominate some of the teams that we played. I have been coaching for 8 years now and have ran the single wing offense each year but I have never ran your version until last year. It's the most deceptive yet affective offense I have ever ran. Last year my team went undefeated and I was even able to teach them the spin series...6 & 7 year olds. That's how easy your version is to implement. My Pop Warner association was the first one in our league to use the single wing offense and now there are a number of teams running it. I just would like to say thanks for sharing this will everyone and making it available.

2008 Mr. Cisar
I have two stories to tell for the 2009 season one is for the peewees and other for the jrs. We are the Taft greyhounds I am the head coach for the peewee ages 5-7 and the jrs ages 8-9.I have been coaching for about 10 years and I have had some wins but more losses in my time. I used your system this year looking for a change in my coaching and making it fun for the kids to return the following year. This year was the first time we had a peewee division so I was coaching them on my own and coaching the Jr with two asst. on this division. Parents we very happy on how the kids picked up on your system and how well they played for the very first time in full contact.

On my Jr division in 2007 we lost all of our games. This year 2008 I took the same group of kids and introduced your system, this kids had fun, picked up on your system very fast even the new kids that came on board and never played before, their parents were impressed on how well they did. Even my coaches were skeptical on your system but I kept on going. We ran the sainted 6 a few wedge plays,jet Series and the spinner Series. On our season we made it to the championship, losing in the last 2 minutes of the game. Now my coaches love your system and they are going to run this in the senior division next season. I thank you for your time and effort on the hard work you put for this system we love it and want more of it. We are planning to attend your clinics can't wait. Thank you once again

2008 Coach Dave,
Greetings from the UK. We have a tradition in Bristol of producing good, hard nosed American football teams and have achieved success at a senior level over the past 10 years. Our current youth program was started off in 2004 and our then OC Coach Damon Kirby introduced the single wing after seeing footage and researching the system extensively. Our season starts in April and runs thru til Sept, but we train all year round to maintain that interest the players are age 16-19.

We've reached the playoffs for 5 years straight now, including losing the Championship Bowl game in OT back in 2005. Our SW is currently a combination of different Single Wing systems and we love it.

Best regards,

2008 Coach Cisar,
I know that I am late for the contest, but I really just wanted to thank you for putting this system together. My story is not really a worst to first, but I felt that is worth sharing.

I have had success in the past coacheing 8-9 yr olds. My first year we won the championship, and last year we finished second. I always have stressed perfecting the basics regardless of the team record. I was a running back in college and noticed that in youth football the OL almost always got neglected. I was searching for blocking rules other than BOB or SAB, both I tried in the past. I was in search of something that would be successful regardless of the talent. I bought your 2005 highlight film and gathered some info on the internet. I had been pondered trying your system for almost 2 years, before I sold out and ran it. This year I decided to sell out and go with it. I purchased your book about a month before the season. I must say it has been a great success.

We finished league play 10-0, outscoring opponents 271-12. In addition, we had 2 non-league games in which we won 49-7 & 50-0. This is truly an amazing testament to the offensive firepower this system can put out . I had every back (3 units deep) score multiple touchdowns this year as well as 5 lineman. Everyone on the team got to carry the ball at least once. Parents were elated with not only the success but the development of there kids. I am currently coaching the league all-star team and this past Saturday, we advanced to the SC state championship to be play next week. We have won our three tournament games by scores of; 26-0, 50-6, & 16-0. Although we had some players on the team who were familiar with the system, about 60% were not. This is with a team that I only had 8 days to prepare for our first all-star game.

The beauty of the system was that it allowed me to incorporate every single player into the team. It gave "minimum play" kids extreme confidence and by the end of the year I really think most of them could have started on other teams. I cut down on hitting this year and incorporated your drills and evaluation games and it was truly scary how much fun the kids had! They always wanted to come to practice even when I tried to give them a break. I look forward to attending one of your clinics next season. Thank you and God bless!

2008 Coach,
I bought your DVD's two years ago, and we've been running your system ever since. Most of the teams in the league have filmed us (6 and 7 year olds) and know exactly what we're going to run, but can't stop us. The team that we beat in the Super Bowl hadn't given up a point all season (12 games). They had more team talent that us, but we blew them out (311 yards of offense to 43 yards). A true credit to your coaching style and system.

Thanks again,
Dan Maloney , Dallas, PA

2008 Hi Coach Cisar,
This is Coach Chad Stowell I have over the last 2 years purchased about every thing you have available. This year using your system we went 12-0-1. And won the Quad County Championship. We got to play at Memorial Stadium (Indiana University). Offensively we averaged 274.7 yds per game and scored 33.3 points per game. Defensively we gave up 30.6 yds per game and 4.4 points per game.

On offense we had 14 different kids with at least 6 rushing attempts. We had 7 kids over 100 yds rushing on the season. 13 kids with an average 4.5 YPC or more per game, 7 of those kids average 8 YPC. 15 different kids scored, at least 1pt and 10 kids scored touchdowns.

Thank you again for all the information, books, DVDs and newsletters as well as the single wing web site. As a testament to everything in your book, this year I had zero trouble with parents, kids or coaches.
Chad Stowell

2008
We had an extremely successful season this year. We went 11-2 and won the League Championship. In addition to having a winning season, we had the happiest group of parents and players that I think anyone could ask for. They have done nothing but praise this group and I don’t think we had a single complaint all season. Kids were getting more playing time than other teams in our league – thanks to the bearcrawler position and others that we rotated every few plays. And the players had a great time. We had other teams that practiced next to us tell their parents that they wanted to be on the “fun team” because they had watched us play deer hunter and some other games at the end of practice. And the coaches were all happy because they knew the expectations and they had clear plans to follow.

I found this program on the internet and after reading the book and watching the DVDs, completely bought into it. The practice methodology and your program completely changed the way I approach coaching any sport. I have been so impressed with what I have read, that I have started my own youth football organization in this area to specifically run this program through all age levels.

The Wildcats finished off a fantastic 11-1-1 season by securing a 22-6 championship victory over the team that gave us our only loss. We completely dominated the last six games by halftime. In the championship game, we even had a spinner 26 go for a 35 yard score.....for our second team! Thanks again coach for all your guidance and for being so accessible to new coaches like myself. I will keep in touch since i need to purchase the O-line video and the gameday organization video to have your complete set. God Bless you and your family.

We just finished our season, we finished 11-0, outscored our opponents 381-68 gave up 100yds of total offense twice in 11 games, I only had offensive stats for our last 4 games but we rushed for 1300yds in our last 4 alone. Your books and DVD's were a huge help, the advice you have in them is awesome and it is battle tested and proven. I attached a picture of our new hardware.

Thanks coach!!

Hey Coach,
We lost an intense playoff game to a team that really outmanned us. Our kids showed so much heart and never quit. I haven't been more proud of them this year. I will say this, after the game our parents applauded us as if we won the game. It was nothing like I've ever seen before considering we just lost the game. None the less, it was an outstanding season. We are Division Champs coming off a 0-9 season a year ago to finish 8-2.The kids played as a TEAM all year and the best part was they all said they would be back next season for another year.. Thanks Coach for a system that truly works and makes it a joy to coach young athletes..

Dave,
We finished our season this year 13-0 after implementing the single wing offense. We played in a very competitive league in Oklahoma City. Last

year, our team went 6-5-1 using a veer formation primary passing offense. We never scored more than 3 TD's per game and frequently were lucky to score once. Several of my kids were playing up last year so we stayed in 4th grade for this year. I ordered your basic single wing tapes, followed your practice advice and drills and after fighting my coaches for 4 weeks to stay with the single wing, we dominated our first scrimmage scoring a dozen times against two quality teams.

Through 13 games, we never trailed once. I even started wanting the ball first(I always deferred) as I knew that we would likely score. In

fact, we only failed to score on our first possession one time after a turnover. We averaged 43 points a game and every eligible player got to carry the ball numerous times. My own son, a lineman, scored two Touchdowns which is two more than I ever scored in my entire football career. We won our championship game 19-0. We played on a college field and scored on 90 and 99 yard drives basically pounding them over and over with 16 Power and 18 sweep with the occasional 32 Wedge Spin and 18 Pass to keep them off balance. I also found that Progression Play calling was a non factor as teams could never stop the base 16 and 18. I did find that as the season progressed, defensive teams were startingto catch up with the single wing. Not completely, of course, but they were starting to recognize the wedge and in the playoffs, team did a good job stopping that play which was almost unstoppable during the season. Of course, by selling out to stop the wedge, 16 and 18 killed them.

We installed the Mouse series(just three running plays and a pass 21 Mouse, 16 Mouse, 47 Mouse reverse and 16 Mouse pass) as a change of pace and a different look. The Mouse plays worked when we ran them but honestly, I didn't need them.

Coach Dave:
This year I am the offensive coordinator for our varsity flyweight football team, which is comprised primarily of 8 year olds with one 9 year old who is playing down because of his weight. I have purchased your book, your dvds on offensive line play and implementing the single wing and have viewed them repeatedly. It was difficult for me to put aside a wishbone offense that I knew well and felt comfortable with in order to implement the single wing. We have practiced now for three weeks. One parent told me that the wedge plays would never work, another parent told me that the snap is too difficult, another parent asked me for my coaching credentials and another parent said that any offensive system that did not have a quarterback directly under center would not work in youth football.

In our first game we scored 4 touchdowns. In fact our first play was a 22 wedge that went 70 yards for a touchdown. We also scored on the 43 reverse, 16 power and 18 sweep. Our blocking back scored all the extra points on the 32 wedge. A fifth touchdown was called back. We also won our next game, against the older and heavier mighty-might kids. We won this game 14 to 0 and a had a ten minute drive that ended the first half (this was also our only possession of the first half). We then got the ball to open the second half and scored on our very first play, a 22 wedge, that went 70 yards straight through the middle of the mighty-might defense. Four different kids ran the ball into the end zone and a total of eight kids ran the ball on Saturday . I saw many happy faces on the parents.

Thanks,

I've meaning to get this to you for some time now. Here's a little story of what using your system has meant to our football team. This will be the 3rd year (and sadly my last year of coaching our youth team as my son moves into Jr High ball next year) our team will run your offense and defense. We owe so much to your program from efficient practice times, no-nonsense warm-ups, playing minimum play kids, and of course the single wing. The boys I coach are from a small Christian school in Amarillo, TX. There are only 30-35 boys in my son's class each year but 20-22 of the boys play football for us each year from this one grade.

I'm just a Dad who thought he knew a little about football. So when it was time for my son to play I volunteered to be the coach. The summer prior to my first year coaching, I started to panic about coming up with an offense. I knew we had about 2 kids who could really play and the rest were average and some below average. I came across your system through searching the web, I followed it to a tee despite the initial resistance from the other coaches and parents. Despite this we went 6-2 primarily using the sainted 6 and we outscored our opponents 111 - 63 with 3 shutouts.

The following year (2007) I had no resistance from the parents or coaches when it came to running the system again. They had seen all boys get a chance to play substantial amounts of time and we had order on the field and at practice compared to some of the chaos of our opponents. As 5th graders we went 8-0 outscoring our opponents 237-47 with 3 shutouts.

I just wanted to thank you for all the fun, success and memories these kids will have the rest of their lives due to youth football, I couldn't have done it without your help and that of our coaches and parents.

Thank You

Thanks for your advice Dave the more I read your book and blogs the more I learn and like many other coaches am grateful for the free info that you put on your site. Again I cannot say enough about your program it really is the best.

In 2007 My brother and I coached the 4th and 5th grade falcons only playing football ourselves through the high school level neither one of us new anything about coaching youth football and neither did any of the other coaches. After hours and days of searching on the internet I finally came across your site and bought your step by step book. It was the best investment I ever made, "thanks" in 2007 we took the 10 and 11 year old falcons to a 8-0 season only allowing one team to score against us ("6 points") our kids had more fun than ever before and we now have parents requesting for there kids to play on our team, thanks for everything.

God bless:

I purchased your system before last season and as O coach of a rookie 2nd grade team we installed the basic offense. we went 10-1 losing our only game in OT on yards gained We beat that same team 2 times later in the season including 19-0 in "Super Bowl" we scored at least 85% of our positions.

Coach Dave,
Just wanted to share with you the success we have been having as a team. I am the Head Coach of the Stafford Tiny Mite(5-7) Raiders in North Stafford, VA. I ordered you coaching package when I became the head coach back in January of this year, and we have been practicing together for three weeks, but just two of them in full pads. We just had our first scrimmage, against a team that was on average 15-20 lbs. bigger than we were. We had installed all of the sainted six. Our very first play, 16 power went for a touchdown. We ended up scoring eight (8) times during the scrimmage. The offense was so deceptive, that even our Parents filming the game were being deceived as to who had the ball. The defensive coach for the other team could only shake his head as we hit him with back to back TD’s from the 43 reverse, to the 31 trap, to the 16 power. Best of all, out of 30 plays we fumbled the snap only once, compared to more than seven fumbles by the other team regarding QB to RB exchange. They ended up scoring twice and our boys and parents were ecstatic to say the least.

Thanks,

Dave,
Still heading in the right direction my man. Had a full fledged practice game last night against a (not so great) team in our league. They have some really good athletes but are not well coached and try and run too sophisticated of an offense. We scored 4 times in the 1st 14 plays from scrimmage, got all 4 extra points, and held their Offense to negative yardage. There 1st two plays got them a 1st down and before they knew it, it was 4th and 20. They went backwards from there. Subbed a TON, scored 1 more in 2nd half to win 34 - 0. 5 different guys scored and I even saw improvement in the wedge. We'll continue to rep it, and be even more particular in our execution of the sainted 6. Jamboree (1/2 game) tomorrow...practice game against a pretty good team next week, then open w/ one of the championship teams from last year (VERY GOOD TEAM). My plan is to run sainted 6 in the jamboree, and have the spinner series in before our opener.

All and all, I'd say (at the very least) we are on track and everyone is having a blast. Still a lot of work to do, but it's obvious (to everyone) that this stuff is da bomb!!!
You are the best man!
Thanks,
Brad

2008 Hey Dave,
I hope you are well.

We went 7-3 last season in my first year of running the Single Wing, one game from the Metro Richmond, Virginia Youth Football League. I can't think you enough for the book, DVDs and support through emails.

Thanks!

2008 Dave,
Wanted to let you know how are first game went. Attended your clinic in Indianapolis this year. Our team won 20-0 against the defending league champion. They were unable to make a single first down (Wide tackle six). Scored with Mesh 18 sweep, 18 sweep pass and 16 power. What a great start!!!

 Thanks again, Joe Shehan

2008 Dave,
Had our 2nd scrimmage of the year and installed the spin and mouse series and crushed the competition for 9 and 10 year olds. Coaches of the other team told me “they had never seen an offense like that”. Thanks for the overall game plan. Most importantly my kids are learning a ton and having loads of fun scoring touchdowns.
Best regards,

2008 Coach Dave,
On Saturday my Chino Hills Bulldog team defeated the Colton Yellowjackets 26-0 using the single wing and the wide tackle 6 defense. We kept the other team to less than 10 yards of total offense and score once on a fumble return. We substituted often and everyone was having fun. Nine different players touched the ball on offense. Four different players scored touchdowns, and a fifth caught an extra point pass.

Coach, your program setup is awesome. The kids are excited about playing, the parents were happy with the play time that reserves were getting, and everybody loves a stifling defense. Next week it's the North San Bernardino Cowboys and we look forward to earning another satisfying win. I followed your scouting suggestions and we now have a good game plan to work with in preparation for next Saturday.

2008
I just want to say thank you for your help this season. I took over a program that has not had a single win in years. We bought your program and installed it as best we could. We where able to knock off last years champs this past weekend in a 18-12 OT
I know the season is just getting started but for a group of kids and a program that has been used to loosing
to finally get over that hump well to say the least they are all excited

Good Luck this season and once again thank you for your help !!!!!

Thank you

Coach - I bought your mega pack back in June - I am a first year (head) coach - last year was an assistant. I coach an 11 year old rookie level team (we have nine kids who have never played) that is tiny - I have one "patched" player (above 115), most of my players go in the 90's with 8 of them less than that. Last year, our head coach went with a full-house backfield formation and man-on blocking. We went 2-6. With the size of our players, it's understandable why. This year, I am using your system. So far, (two scrimmages, one real game) so good. We won 19-0 on Saturday against a much bigger team (6 players patched, with a couple above 150), that went 4-4 last year. I am also using your WT6 - the opposition got -60 (minus 60) yards in total, had 4 fumbles (our BC's are phenomenal), and never crossed the 40 all day (80 yard field).

Our offense is clicking too - first play from scrimmage went for 50 yards (straight 16 power), scored on the second play, never looked back. Most of the Sainted 6 worked - power, reverse, sweep, trap, sweep pass; we're still working wedge, and won't give up on it, but we're giving up over 200 pounds versus most D-lines, so it's a bit understandable that the wedge doesn't move forward as well as I'd like.....

I just want to say THANKS. The parents are all thrilled, the kids love the practices, my assistant coaches have bought in to your system hook line and sinker, and all I hear from everyone associated with us is GREAT JOB!

Within our league, I see a bunch of pro-sets, power-I, and other sets not suited to the size and ability of my kids. I really have a hard time believing that my 82 pound left end is going to move a 150 pound DT 3 yards back on the typical dive play. After last year, I was pretty certain that the sets I am familiar with wouldn't work with the size and level of talent I've got. I did a bunch of internet searching over the spring and summer and thankfully, I found yours. Your system has been a Godsend!

We'll see how we do the rest of the year - I'm more than a little optimistic!

Thanks Again

Happy in Douglas County, Colorado

Coach Cisar,
This is a great system. We had 11 practices before our first game and we stuck to the program. Our team is a mix of returning players and a hand full of new comers. We did our best last year as first year head coach with several dads as assistant coaches. I think we were 3 – 5 last year with the last few games of giving up a lot of points and being unable to move the ball on offense. We had good plays but just weren’t executing them well.

As I began the year I was trying to think what system/offense we were going to run. As time drew nearer and nearer I came across your website and immediately watched videos, read the site and thought this looked like a great system. I ordered it on a Saturday morning and you had it to me Monday when I got home from work. As soon as I started reading the book, I couldn’t put it down. Since then, my wife has become a Youth Football Widow. I have stuck to the program. I brought coaches over to my house to explain the system we were going to run. I showed them the videos. The more I read the book and watched the videos I thought this system was for our team. I had to sell the concept of the offense and defense to a coach or two but I said from the very beginning there is no going back. I now had point of reference to go back to if I had any questions. I started out our practices just as you discussed in your book.

I have had very structured practice plans and they have all been very productive. We had our first game this past week and our team pile dup 374 yards of offense on 34 plays I want to thank you for taking the time to get this published. It is a great system. Ultimately the boys are having a great time with the system and they are all learning from it. I’ll keep you posted on our season,
Craig Frappier

2008 Coach,
Wanted to give you a little update. Just as a reminder, we are the team in MN that has more rules then the IRS tax code. We played 3 games in the past 4 days and are now 4-0.
The last two coaches approached me and said," oh your the team that plays Rugby style ball". Note this does not bother me or deserve comment when they say it. They are all overconfident when starting the game and mad at the end have scored 26, 28, 19, and 26 point and only one team scored against us. Our closest game was 19 - 12 and that was playing with 15 players do to injury and family issues (weddings out of town). Also please note that in the 19 - 12 win we had 5 players playing in the back field that had NEVER played or practiced in those positions. It was also against our biggest rival.

Today's game was against another undefeated team. In the 3rd quarter, we watched the opposing coach and his Defense running to the 1 back as he ran a sweep pattern. As the coach turned to see our 3 back run within 3 feet of him with the ball (32 wedge) he threw his clip-board up in disgust at either his team or our great play (it was a TD). Your book and DVD's have helped me and my assistant coaches teach fundamentals the right way, good sportsmanship and how to have fun playing football. I have had touch downs or big plays from 10 of my 18 players and hope to get everyone involved by season end. Thanks for all the work you have done putting this program together!!

Hi Coach,
Let me first preface my status with some context. I have coached eight seasons at the high school level some years ago but had never coached youth football before this year. So, accepting my first assignment at the youth level included a great deal of trepidation and anxiety as to whether I was going to be able to tone down my rusty coaching skills and knowledge to the level of our kids.... or if I had any coaching skills for that matter. But my uneasiness of coaching a bunch of eleven and twelve year olds was greatly reduced when I came across your Winning Youth Football program, which I purchased this spring.

To provide a bit more background, my team is a second-side team made up of 24 players, most being average players in terms of size, speed and skill. Our C1 team has all the studs and was hand-picked to be the powerhouse. My team have had a record of 0-8, 1-7 and 2-6 in 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively
Moving ahead to our season, I'm happy to report the team is doing much better than first hoped. I have the single wing offense solidly installed and we're running on all cylinders. The only difference I've made was to retain our town's traditional hole numbering system and calling the tailback a quarterback. This meant renaming all the plays, but nothing else. This is not to say we're perfect, but we have just passed the mid-point of our season with a win yesterday afternoon and now have a record of record of 4-1. This is more wins in five games as these same kids have had over the last three years ! Our only loss was against a very strong and fast city team that would have given our B-side team a good game, if not beat them.

After five games, we have found much more success than just a decent record. The first of which is the level of improvement on fundamentals. Following your thoughts on the persistent drumbeat of drills such as angle form tackling, we have seen many of our average players turn into good tacklers, with the overall skill level increasing dramatically. Your sound mind set of focusing on fundamentals is spot on and should be carried out by all youth teams

Another success has been the Wedge. I almost held off on installing this play thinking it didn't really fit or wouldn't be useful. However, the Wedge has become our go-to play. We can run this play at any point in the game and guarantees us at least five to six yards and many times going for much more. Looking at the defense, we have been very solid up the middle due to the success of our bear crawlers.

Coach,

I wanted to let you know how we are doing. I am the head coach of a 8-9 yr old Peewee football team in Louisville KY and we have 27 kids on our team. We are the 'developmental team' in our program. I purchased your materials in mid August just after our preseason scrimmage. We put in the sainted six in two practices in one week, before our first regular season game against the league bully. We looked horrible, most noticeably I did not have our running backs close enough to our center and I also did not have them crouched down so as to disguise to whom the ball was being snapped.. Watching your team's execution in the DVDs, I knew that if I could teach the kids proper alignment and execution we could transform into a good team. Well since that game we have lost only one game! In our last five games we have averaged thirty points and several boys have had opportunities to carry the ball and score touchdowns. Now we have coached/played our way into the final four playoff bracket in our league with a 7-2 record. The only other loss we had was against a team that ended the season at 8-1.Thank you for your guidance. This year has been so much fun!

Dave,

I've got to tell you about the success we've been having so far this year. The coaches, parents and most importantly the kids are having so much fun this year. Last year was my first year as Head Coach of my son's 8-10 team. All of my players were in their first year of playing except for one, my son, who had played for two years on a team that lost all but one game in two seasons. We kept things fun and "kid friendly", last year but we only won one game. We had a former college player as our offensive coordinator who implemented too many pass plays, trick plays that worked once, but we could not sustain any drives.

 I bought the DVDs for Offense, for Practice, and your book Winning Youth Football A Step by Step Plan . I studied and read over the summer and was determined to implement it correctly with my team. I used all of your strategies for communicating with parents. I used your practice plan and implemented the fun evaluation drills and must admit that there were many skeptics among the parents. The kids loved it!!

Long story short, our first official scrimmage was against a bigger and stronger team. We scored four touchdowns and won the game. We gave up a few touchdowns, but knew that we could implement your defensive ideas and perform better. The first game of the season was against a rival. We won the game 30-8.. The year before we lost to this team 24-0. I knew we were on the right track since we ran the 16 Power three times in a row and the third time we scored on a 45 yard run. We actually only needed to use the "sainted six" since we kept scoring so quickly. The next game we faced a tougher opponent that had won their opening game 21-0. We defeated them 29-0. Our defense allowed only one first down and the offense only needed to use six different plays again. The no huddle offense sends defensive coordinators into a dizzying frenzy to try and stop us. The special teams performance is stifling other teams. No big run backs, we've recovered the ball on the bloop kick and we have returned a kick off for a touchdown.

 I feel bad for the kids on other teams when I see coaches making them run laps and feel almost like it's not fair that we have such an advantage over other teams with such a dominating scheme. Dave, I just wanted to tell you that I'm a believer and very thankful to you for all the hard work and integrity you've brought to your work as a teacher and coach. I'm giddy with our success. If you look at our team, our kids are mostly beginners with some kids that the A teams didn't want. They are bursting with joy and having a great time. Parents couldn't be happier and other coaches in the league are beginning to take notice.

Thank you,

Hey Dave,
I've corresponded with you occasionally as we led up to the season and thought I'd give you an update. We've successfully implemented both the offense and defense prescribed in your Winning Youth Football program and have had a blast with the kids and success on the field. We didn't win a game last year in the non-select Pop Warner league we play in Charlottesville, VA to being undefeated (5-0) as we head into the play offs. We've scored 177 pts and given up 18 in the 5 games and that's with us pretty much running between the tackles in the second half of all but one game. The other teams have struggled defending against our offense and one of the head coaches even traveled to a near by high school that runs the single wing to learn how to defend against it. We have recently been seeing teams load the line w/ several lineman over our center and guards with them literally diving to the ground to stop our wedge. It's been frustrating for our lineman and I'm sure you've experienced similar defensive strategies and was curious as to how you responded? Thanks again for the program, it's more than X's and O's and has been a great learning tool for myself and the rest of our coaches. I'll let you know how we ended up at the end of the season.

Best Regards,
Trevor

Hey Dave,

I think you have another testimonial season coming from Allen, TX again. We are 5-1 and averaging 30 points per game. I'll let you know how the season ends up. Also, we are averaging 33% recovery of our onside kicks. Huge game changer.

Coach Cisar,

The season has been EVERYTHING you said it would be.

Our association is very strict in how we run our teams, which is good.
We have player restrictions, position restrictions and play time restrictions.
It was also made easier for me by restrictions on defense (the line was required to play head up

To start the year I had coaches laugh at me as I said I was doing Shot-gun. I had Coaches laugh when I said I would be pulling linemen.
I was very fortunate to find assistant coaches that understood my (our) philosophy and strategy.

Our first scrimmage was met with sarcasm and laughter, but as we explained to our players, it was not about winning but about learning to play the game a couple days later.

Our first game we met a much larger and more talented group of boys. We had 1 stripped player, they had 8! .... Final score was 28 - 0 .... we won.
Our second game was very similar but our third game was the true test.
I our third game we had injuries and missing players (family issues) and were down to 16. Please remember that we have rules in the league about playing time on O and D (no more then 3 quarters on either side of the ball!) plus rules on back field playing time of maximum 2 quarters. We were up 19 - 0 in the first half and ended the game with 14 players and a win of 19 - 12.

Our 4th game brought on a whole new challenge! We faced another undefeated team that was coached by a member of the board on our league.
When we beat him 28 – 0. Bottom line is we ended the year with a perfect 8 - 0 and an average (yes average) score of 24 - 3!!
We had 5 of 8 coaches complain to the league yet we did nothing wrong... the other 3 adjusted and tried to implement our plays.

We play next week in the championship and will let you know how it goes.

2008
Hey Coach,
I coach a Pop Warner team in Jacksonville Florida ages 9,10,11. We are the "B" team. At the beginning of the year, I didn't know what type of offense to run. It got to the point that before the season I just wrote down a bunch of different plays out of multiple formations and was going to go with that. In previous years, that's what I did and we weren't very successful.

I stumbled upon your system by chance. I was looking on the internet and absolutely was hooked the first day I read about it. I ordered the entire package you have an immediately began to install it come August 1. Let me say that it was the best move I could've made! This team last year didn't win a game. This year, we are 5-1 and pending this week's game on our way to the playoffs for the first time in years!! I've copied your system word for word. It's simple, easy and really creates muscle memory for the kids and becomes habit forming. Most of all, the kids love it...Our "homerun" play to this point has been the 22 wedge. We're averaging 30 points per game. We've installed the sainted six, a few "spinner" plays and a few out of the "jet" series. It's amazing how fast these kids picked it up and their execution has been outstanding. I don't want to jinx us for this upcoming game so I won't carry on anymore but I'll keep you posted on how our season progresses. Than ks for sharing your philosophy and success!

Dave,
This is my third year running the single wing, and the first year using your book and system. The last two years, we hid a player at wide flanker to take away a CB, but this year switched to your system with the TB/FB, BB and WB. This has been a great season, both on offense and on defense. Through 6 games, our first string defense has only let up 2 TDs. Last game we had all 16 kids who dressed for our game run with the ball at least once, and we had 7 kids score a TD or PAT. We’re having a great time, and attribute it to our sticking with the concepts in your book. I coached 8/9 last year, 10/11 this year, and might move up to the 12-13 next year, and am thinking I need to expand my playbook a bit to include the Jet Series. We currently run sainted 6, the mouse and spinner, fumble wedge, and a couple pass plays we came up with – one is a throw back screen from the TB sweep right to the left end, and another is a spinner pass to the TB in the flats Last game the wedge went for over 50 yds twice, and we scored on it twice as well. Things are starting to click!
We’ve had zero kick returns against us this season. Kicking deep is suicide. To date we are 4-1-1, and hoping to close out the season next week at 5-1-1.

Hey Coach,
I thought I'd share a funny story regarding the wedge. I had ordered your book but I couldn't visualize how to teach the wedge. I later ordered the DVD on creating a dominating offensive line. This really helped. The next practice I was ready to teach the wedge. We started with the step, shoulder, then arm placement exactly how you instructed. I could tell that the kids were a little than less confident this was something that was going to work. In fact, I could somewhat see it in the other coaches. One kid, a very outspoken 8 year old that plays left guard, says coach "I'm not sure this is going to work". Then my 10 year old experienced center speaks up and says "Coach I have to agree. Other teams don't run this." I could see the that if the experienced kids had little confidence I'd never convince the rookies. My resolution, I decided to let the bigger experienced kid move to a defensive lineman. I told him we were only going to walk it. He would then let me know what he thought.

As you might expect, just walking it was extremely intimidating and he was pushed several yards backwards. I saw his eyes were extremely big after the play. He was in awe. I asked him. Well, will it work? He said, "OH YEAH. IT'LL WORK!" Now, the wedge plays are the kids, parents and coaches favorite plays. Thanks for providing something different and that gives my very young 8-10 team something to compete with against the much older teams. We can't wait till next year. We're competitive now. With 17 of the 20 kids eligible to return next year, we'll be the team everyone dreads to play.

Thanks for the reply to an earlier email. We just had a team that again had fast crashing ends. This time I used ALL the advice. You were right. I think the previous team was jumping our snap count. In the most recent game, we kept them honest with no play and the sweeps.

Thanks,
Coach Greg

Coach Dave,

Just wanted to give you the update that our Charlottesville Non-Select Junior Midget team won the league championship game yesterday to finish the season 7-0. We scored 248 points and gave up 25 with 5 shutouts. We had 9 of our 24 players score touchdowns and an additional several score on point after plays. We now head into the regional single elimination play off system. The system and philosophy you promote has been instrumental in our success. Thanks again for all that you do

Dave,
I purchased your single wing series about a month prior to our 9-10 football draft. I studied the material and found it easy to follow and very well explained. I also called you on 2-3 occasions and you answered my questions in a timely manner, thanks it helped us a bunch.

After the draft I met with my assistant coaches to show them our new offense, they thought it was crazy and would not work. They wanted to run I-formation , wishbone, and trick plays they had spent the whole summer dreaming up, I told them I believed in the system and we were going to give it a try. Our offense needed a jolt, we had the smallest team in the league by far but had some kids that were smart and would do anything I asked.(we had 11 nine yr. olds and 4 ten yr. olds in a league full 10yr.olds) The boys loved the offense because it involved everyone and they also loved the deception of the offense.

 We finally made it to the first game 41-0 win on opening day with a huge crowd, I did everything I could to keep the score down but the defense was so excited about what the offense was doing they got in on the scoring. The tone was set, the parents bought in the assistant coaches bought in and we were off. We finished 13-1 and league champs averaging 35 pts.(could have easily been more), Our games always drew the biggest crowds. All the other coaches asked how they could run the system. This is by far the best system to run if you are coaching youth football. It overwhelms the opposition at the point of attack, creates great deception, and involves all the kids. It was the first year I held good on my promise that everyone would run the ball this year. Thanks a million Dave

The subject line says it all - I am a second year coach who has never played football and who has no previous coaching experience! I had purchased your mega pack in 2007, but was unable to implement the system (politics...). This year, I followed your plan with great success - Our 6 wins were not even close - and our one loss was by 6 points in a very even match up. I used your system with our Mighty Mites (7,8 and 9) year olds. All we ran was the "Sainted 5" - the 18 Sweep Pass was our weak point, but we didn't really need it. We pounded the 16 Power and 18 Sweep - once we had the teams leaning that way, we would run the 43 Reverse mostly for TD's or close to it. Once the other team saw our reverse, we would then open up the 31 Trap and Wedge (we ran a 32 Wedge very successfully)

I believe this is the first winning season for Mighty Mites in our Pop Warner program, which is about 7 years old. Thank you for your effort and passion that has made this possible! You know that the key factor is the practices. We were relentless on the Angle Form and Open Field Tackle drills. In an 8 game season we were scored on 6 times only. We did all of this with a team of 18 kids. Enough said.

Many Thanks,
Jeff Swensen

Dave,
I want to thank you again for your guidance. This year was an unbelievable season for my team. The players learned what true football is all about, and what team work is all about. Today we finished the season at 8 and 3, and competed in the championship game. We placed # 2 over all, and I guarantee you everyone in our Four Rivers Football league respects our teams explosive potential. My team has progressed from an 0 and 7 pushover team, to a team of Championship caliber. And it is all the result of your system. I followed it to a tee from the very beginning. To put plain and simple, IT WORKS!

thanks again Dave, we owe it all to you!

DEAR DAVE,
I HAVE USED YOUR SYSTEM FOR TWO YEARS. LAST YEAR WE WERE 6-1. THIS YEAR WE JOINED A NEW LEAGUE WHICH WAS STRONGER AND ALLOWED HEAVIER KIDS. WE FINISHED THE SEASON UNDEFEATED 10-0 AND WON OUR CONFERENCE. SOME OPPONENTS ASK FOR COPIES OF OUR PLAY BOOK . SOME THINK IT IS THE OLD NOTRE DAME 4 HORSEMAN OFFENSE. OUR TEAM IS THE FIRST 10-0 UNDEFEATED TEAM IN SEBRING YOUTH FOOTBALL HISTORY. THANKS FOR THE SYSTEM.

Hello from the St. Louis area.

• Season of 2006 many of these boys went 1-8 and lost to the same opponent shown in the video 37-7.
• 2007 season (first season running your program) we went 5-5.
• This past season we went 7-2.

As you can see in the clip below, we (team in white) score on our second play in OT on Spin 26 Power – watch the cutback of the 2 back against the 2 LBs.
As you can see our opponent has some pretty big boys (line was all over 130 lbs).
Needless to say our boys and parents are just ecstatic going from a 1-8 team to a 7-2 team in a 2 year span. Your methodologies and UBSW are clearly the key in this turn-around. I am getting emails from the parents saying how the boys can’t wait till next year – neither can I!
Thank you for your efforts and sharing!

2008 Hi Coach,
I want to thank you for sharing your coaching experience and best practices in your book and DVDs. This was my first year to coach a football team and your book was the cornerstone for our offense and defense. The West Valley Tiny Mite Falcons team was a new team of boys 5-7 yrs old that had only one experienced player. We went undefeated, scored lots of touchdowns and our defense was terrific. We received numerous compliments on the way the team played and the boys had a lot of fun. The Deer Hunter game was extremely popular and proved to be a great conditioning activity. We even scored one touchdown with the over-the-head backwards pass that you shared in one of your team highlight videos. I don't know what name you give for that play, but we called it 'knucklehead'. My assistant coaches and some of the dads who saw me teach this the first time thought that only a 'knucklehead' would use that play in a game. A perfect opportunity came in our last game to try it at the goal line and 'knucklehead' worked perfectly. The referees were not sure what had happened initially (I should have warned them about the play) but after a couple of seconds of trying to figure out what had just happened, the referees signaled that a touchdown had been scored. Anyway, thank you and I look forward to continuing to use your system andcoaching tools again next year.

Hello Dave,
Results from 2008
It me again Randell Hubbard from Little ole' Burnside Ky., Coach of the Burnside Generals Pee Wee's. Well I just had to tell you of our success this year. This past Saturday we played in the PCYFL Super bowl championship game. Note: This is the first time in school history in any of our divisions, Pee Wee, Junior or Senior division that a Burnside team has ever played for a championship. To really understand this you have to understand how small our elementary school is. We have half the kid population that the power house teams have. Yet we are competitive and feared by even the bigger elementary schools.

Well this year we made it to the Super Bowl, now we didn't win, but again (what a game!) Southern Pee Wee 19, Burnside Pee Wee 12. We had controlled the game most of the day and would have won it, if our 82 yard touchdown hadn't been called back on a penalty and the winning team scored their winning touchdown with 24 seconds left in the game. Even in the loss, we couldn't be prouder.

We finished the season with 9 wins and 2 losses Now what makes this story so unique is we didn't have a power house of returning players from last years team. We had to totally rebuild our team from ground level. Your games like Deer Hunter, Sumo etc..that the kids play in the first week of practice, which help the Coach put players in their right position were so valuable! These games are awesome, they showed us as Coaches where each kid needs to play and also shows the parents of all the kids where all kids will be playing. With the games, parents understand so much about kid placement, this in return builds a strong backing from all the parents and keeps parents from arguing about where they think their kid should play.

As a Team we averaged over 30 points a game and our defense only gave up a total of 51 points in a total of 11 games. When you look at that with the big picture that is scoring over 330 points and only giving up an average of 4.6 points a game. Now with this offense I'm sure we could have averaged twice that much but I would never run the score up, also all the kids on my team got the chance to run the ball. Last year the Power 16 and 32 wedge fumble ruski were big. This year we ran the Power 16, 18 Sweep, 26 Spinner, 43 and 47 reverse and 22 and 32 Wedge, with our favorite play being the 32 wedge with the 47 reverse fake, it was unstoppable. It was so much fun running these plays with so much backfield motion fakes. Other team coach's would even tell me they had a hard time finding out who had the ball. (To be honest I had a hard time finding the ball at times) I was able to show our little guys 7 basic plays and showed them by adding different fakes and adjustment we had over 25 total plays and they understood them all! Not bad for a team that practices only 2 nights a week compared to the other teams that practiced 3 and 4 nights a week and also started a month earlier than we did, saying it was conditioning.

Well once again I must say thanks to you and you program, as I know none of this would have been possible without it. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Thanks again,
Randell Hubbard

Coach Dave,
I have been an assistant coach for three seasons prior to this season. Well, as the new season approached I became more nervous. I've been a pretty good athlete all my life and I knew the game, which is what probably carried me through the last three years. What I didn't realize is what you actually had to bring to the table when your the head coach. You not only have bring knowledge of the game, But a offensive scheme, a defensive scheme, leadership, and great assistant coaches, and so on and so on! Well I decided to do some research, and I found your web site. I never heard of you or your programs, but I liked what I seen and heard on you web site, So I ordered it about a month before the season started. I studied it for the first three weeks ,I got my assistants to watch as well. I decided to run with it. I installed the play's just like you said, the defense , everything. Needless to say we had a banner year 9-1 and we avenged our loss in the championship game and became the 7yr. old champs. We ended up having 16 players on our team. Our patch player weight was 80lbs I believe you call them stripe players, We had none on our team. Most of my kids were between 45 and 60lbs, quite a small group. To make my point we were the smallest team in our league. Now as we start installing the offence I notice a little unrest in some of my parents. I can hear in the backround, Why does he keep running the same play over and over, or this offence is never going to work. Well after only getting to practice two weeks prior to our first game, We go out and destroy our first opponent 47-6 and we only went in with 4 plays 16 power, 22 wedge , 31 trap and 18 sweep. The idea of perfecting each play before you move on to the next one is so elementary, yet no one does it. Everyone thinks you need to have 25 plays and it's just not true. To put things in prospective, we ran the sainted six all year long and were unstoppable we averaged 35 point a game, and the defense only allowed 47 points all year. In the championship game alone I ran 16 power 18 times! Thank you , you have a great product and usually I would pass your information on to other coaches, but that wouldn't be very smart now would it! Thanks again!

Sincerly ,
Coach Roman Barages

Lost 32 - 12 -- (makes us 9 - 1). Our team turned over two critical 4th downs by literally 3 inches. Very tough on our team to be behind at halftime for the first time this season. They had a great game plan. My hat is off to their team, they whipped us good.

Overall, it was an incredible season using your system--both offense and defense. We went 9 - 0 before losing the championship, and had beat two teams who later won championships. The team above, we beat earlier 22 - 18, and in one of our non-league games we beat a team 20 - 18 who won a championship in another league last Saturday.

Love the system, talk to you next season!

Dave-I just wanted to drop you a quick note and give you a recap of our 2008 season. Our Tiny-Mite team (6-7 yr olds) finished up a couple weeks ago. We implemented your program to a T and ended our season 6 - 0 - 2 . We outscored the opposition 124 - 18. My coaches and I actually joked with each other throughout the season - we were beating teams 24 - 0 and 18 - 0 and joked that either Cisar's program just wasn't working or we didn't implement it properly because we weren't putting up 40 and 50 points a game !! (The real reason was more a result of a running clock with two 22 minute half's) I'm a believer in your Single Wing Offense and plan to utilize it for years to come.

Thanks for everything.

In 2006 my team (8,9,10) went 4-3-2. I bought your book and DVDs and started implementing your practice strategies and coaching ideologies. In 2006, I made many of the mistakes you talked about most losing coaches make. In 2007, with a roster of 29 players (18 rookie player's), we improved to 7-2. Despite narrowly missing the playoffs, we were the third highest scoring team in the division.
In 2008 (10, 11, 12), we finished the regular season with a 7-0 record (Undefeated league Champions). We beat the defending league champs 40-6 and won the League Championship game against undefeated Hacienda Heights 40-0. We lost this past week in the first round of the playoffs, but I can't express how excited I am with my teams overall improvement. Thanks to your system, I know 2009 is going to be a 10-0 season!!

2008 Dear Dave,

I am writing like many others before me to thank you for sharing your insights on coaching youth football. I feel lucky that I found your valuable resources.

As far as football knowledge and experience, I felt I was prepared to coach 5th and 6th graders. I was an All State football player and earned a scholarship and played at a division one school. I was lucky to have been brought up in fundamentally sound football programs, but you showed me clearly how best to teach the skills of blocking and tackling to brand new football players. Your descriptions and drills for instilling the basics of blocking and tackling in my players were invaluable.

I would have made the mistake of wasting practice time had I not used your materials. Your materials are like the teacher telling you the areas on which you will be tested . Following your advice, we focused on the important aspects of the game and let the other teams around us get really good at warm ups and sprints.

I am going to suggest to the league director that your book at the least becomes required reading for any coaches in the league. I might not be so forthcoming about your products if my son was going to be in the league again! I would hate to even the playing field too much! I almost did feel guilty knowing how much better our boys were prepared that the other teams we faced. I had parents on other teams come up to me and share with me how their teams were practiced and how discouraged their boys were. I feel I owe it to the future players in the league to enlighten their future coaches.

I was fortunate enough to coach with another great dad who bought in to your system as much as I did. We joked about the gospel of "Dave" and often said, "that's how Dave does it."

Unfortunately, our league is restrictive in formations and somewhat in the plays we could run, so I can't share about our wildly successful single wing offense. That being said, we were able to adapt the sainted six to our "I" formation. All anyone could talk about was the "wedge". Teams couldn't stop it. We also have to run a 4-4 defense with non-select players, but again we adopted the bear crawlers and it allowed us to get some players in the game that might otherwise not have played as much. Our first team defense only gave up 4 TD's all year in our 7 games and those were on big plays by the two biggest and fastest backs in the league. Other than those breakdowns even those athletically gifted backs never gained more than a few yards the whole game. Our kids could tackle, because you helped us show them how to tackle!
I could go on and on about how much I loved your program, but thanks again for your contribution to the game of football. Attached a post game picture of the proud Dads/Coaches and their sons/players with the championship trophy. It was a night that we all will remember forever!

Sincerely,

Coach Dave
We just recently finished our season last Saturday due to the fact that our team made it to our league Superbowl! We play a 9 game regular season schedule and averaged 22.4 ppg on offense, allowed 8.4 ppg on defense with 4 shutoutsThis is the most success we have had to date as a team and did so with just 17 boys (all age 7) total. Out of our 17 players, 12 had never >played football before this year, 3 boys had one year of football experience and the remaining two boys had three years of experience. Our overall record this year was 8-3 and two of our three losses came against the same team and eventual Superbowl champions I mentioned previously. In fact, this team has been playing together since they were 5 years old, have never lost a regular or post season game to date in the past three years. Rarely does anyone score on this team and in fact had only given up 22 points all year and 16 of those points were to us.

We definitely have some work to do but overall I am very proud of this team and we certainly have a strong foundation on which to build for next season!

Coach Dave,
I could not wait any longer to tell our story. I coach a 9 year old division II team in Marietta Ga. Last season I was introduced to your system from my local single wing mentor Coach Bobby Williams. We purchased the system and DVD's in an attempt to implement the system from the start.

Being new to the system, I learned what not to do. I thought I could make a few changes to better accommodate my players. Big mistake!In the off season I went back to the drawing board and was utterly amazed at all the information I missed the first time I read the book. I committed to following the system to the last detail including our practice plan and making sure we did not get off track from the details. I met with all my assistant coaches and made sure they all understood what our mission was and thoroughly went through the system with them.

This season has been awesome. Our current record is 9-1. The team that beat us in the regular season fell to us in the play offs 18-7. End result... We are playing in the Superbowl tomorrow!!! The team we play in the Superbowl we defeated in the regular season so our spirits are high. The only issue we have encountered running the single wing would be some early whistle blows from the officials. Reason they gave me was they did not know who had the football! We have learned to live with that as a compliment to our misdirection.

I found out the hard way with our previous season that your system is truly a turn key approach to coaching youth football. Part of me wants to preach it to all our coaches and part of me wants to keep it a secret. But you can't keep this a secret. I have found myself, like Coach Williams, encouraging other coaches to take our same approach.

I would advise any coach considering the winning youth football system to take the time to do it right from the beginning. When you think you understand the book... Read it again. Everything you need to be successful is there. We expect to win our Superbowl tomorrow but either way you can rest assured we are doing the same thing next season, even better!!!.

Thanks for your system and continued support that you provide.

Cheers,
Coach Rick Hall

I'm a first year offensive coach!! I've run defense before but never an offence. Our league has 10 teams in it all teams have 18-19 kids ages 7-10 yr old. we get new kids every year we do not get to retain any kids we went 7-4 on the season being beaten twice by a team that went 10-0 and both of those games were only by 2 & 6 points (my bad not the boys) we had no boys even close to the weight max in our league (121lbs fully dressed) and only 4 10 yr olds. we had 7 different boy score touchdowns this year the team that went 10-0 only had 3 boys score we only ran the sainted six!! Thank you Dave for this great product!!
God Bless!!

Coach Dave,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the DVD’s. This was my first year coaching and I was the head coach. I roped my brother into being my defensive coach. We coached 7, 8 and 9 year olds. We both watched the tapes and used 99% of what you recommended. Our results were awesome. We went 7-2 and won the Queen City (Charlotte NC) Classic Bowl game. The kids had a blast and the parents were thrilled that we had a well structured way of teaching the kids.
Thanks so much and I'll try and get out to one of your clinic’s next year!

2008
Mr. Cisar,
Before I go into what happened this year with my team, I want to thank you for all your material and help that you've given me this year. Its was the best investment that I've made since I started coaching and I want to thank you for all you've put in to help a coach like me on how to organize and manage a youth football program.

Well, this year was a good one to remember. We made it to our division championship game. As this was my second year being the head coach, we only had 5 returning players from the previous year. This year I felt that I was better prepared than I was last year. I went into last year with no real plan on what type of offense or defense that I wanted to run. Didn't d o much evaluating once I got the kids on my team and also was coaching on the fly. Never had a clear-cut plan on what I wanted to accomplish or what goals I wanted to set. So I went on a search to find something to help me become a better coach and also a clear plan on what I wanted to do. I ran across your material online and got your book. I read it about 30 or 40 times before I even had a team roster or before the registration even began.

My team size this season was just 16 players, including my 5 returning players, 1 player with one-year experience in another age group and 10 players that never played football before. I figured it would be a challenge to be able to be real competitive but I was positive that I could get them to be a good team. I went strictly by the book. The first three practices we had, most of the parents could not believe what we were doing or even understood the concept. I know some thought that I was crazy and that what I was doing wasn't going to work. We went into our first game and won 27-0. By the second half, I had my starting backfield on the sidelines and gave my back-ups a lot of reps. But by the time the regular season was over, we had a

5-3 record, we had about 3 games that defense didn't let the other team past the 50 yard line.

Before the playoffs started, a lot of coaches from other teams figured that they had a plan to stop us and figured that we couldn't make it past the first playoff game. Needless to say, we proved them wrong. We won the first playoff game 14-6 and then the conference championship, we won 14-6.

When I had my end of the season party, a lot of parents and players wanted to know if I was coming back to coach this team again or was I moving up to the older division.. All the parents have been asking me through emails if I was going to return or not. But I'm very proud of what I have done and what the team has done. I think not only have I influenced them on how great a sport this is, they've also helped me grow into a better coach also.

Again Dave, I want to thank you for everything that you've done to help me turn around this team and also for helping me become a=2 0better coach. Without all your help and knowledge, I would still be that guy from last year that wasn't organized, never had a plan and never set a goal. This year, I was able to do all three things and it's all because of you.

2008 Dave,
My name is Kevin Skibinski and I have been head coaching football for 7 years now. I wanted to send you this letter mainly to tell you that your coaching information (dvd's & books) have helped me become a much better coach by giving me the tools needed to help take my football teams to that next performance level. In 2007, i used your offense for the very first time because I felt change was needed plus I was looking for that "edge" to help make our teams stronger and smarter above the rest. I bought all your books and videos and watched them over and over until I had a firm understanding of everything. We had a good year in 2007 by making it to the 2nd round of the playoffs with a few losses. Not bad considering we implemented an entire new offense that we knew nothing about. Well, in 2008 we decided to run that offense again but I purchased more of your items such as the Defense DVD and the Offensive Line DVD. I implemented more drills & techniques including the entire WT-6 defense and all I can tell you is that it truly made a difference this year and our performance as a team improved significantly. Our Team ended up 11-0 with 9 shutouts and won our weight division (97# 10 yr olds) Superbowl title. The superbowl game went into overtime and it came down to literally the last play. It was 4th down and we were 1.5 yds from the goal line. They had the right side (our right) stacked with defenders knowing we run the unbalanced line so we decided to run the "orange rocket 31 trap" and it worked! I have never had a season end up like it did this year but I can honestly say that your information you provide made a huge difference in the success of our team. From adding the rocket series to using the stunts from your WT-6 Defense, we were extremely successful but more importantly, we had a ton of fun doing it. I had several parents comment that they felt their kids "learned" much more this year and were impressed with the techniques and knowledge our coaching team had. I owe you a big thanks for all the work you have done in putting the "system" together and sharing it with other coaches. It made a difference!

Sincerely,
Kevin Skibinski

Dave:
Like the other coaches behind me, we were 4-6 last year and totally clueless on how to coach a youth football team. We turned to your program during the winter off season. What a difference a year makes, this year our record was 12-1, top defense in the league, 3rd in points scored, but more importantly, NYFL State Champions!!! We beat a faster, bigger team today. We are moving up next year with our team to a 9-11 age bracket. Were looking forward to the 4 4 defense.

Take care,

Coach Mike Weisenberg

2008 Dave,
Won the championship tonight. Finished season 11-0. Thanks for your help again

this year. Lots of happy kids and parents
Our 7 and 8 year olds also champs. Their coach was my asst last year and ran your Single Wing and wt six defense. Not an athletic team won on ball control. Finished 7-3-1 and won it all. I'll see if he has some usable stats for you. What you do is a blessing for all of us in the Tiger org. Also notified today that I have been named coach of the year for Aiken County little league football over 600 kids. Thanks for your efforts to make little league football fun and rewarding for all of us.

Coach, we had a very good season it was my first year to coach, at any level, and we relied completely on your system. Your system proved to be the difference. We made the play offs but were eliminated by another team using your system, and who won the league championship. The other team ran your single wing offense and were very successful with it. They also used your wide tackle six defense. I want to express how much I appreciate you being there all season to help with questions that came up. Your system and your email consultation were priceless for me this year and made the year a very positive experience.

I thank you sincerely and I hope you and you family have a happy thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

2008 Dave,
Just wanted to let you know that your assistance was invaluable in helping us to a 7-0 record and City Champions in my first year of coaching Middle School (7th and 8th graders)...after coaching HS varsity football for 34 years!

I took a LOT of information from your wonderful book and used it to conduct our practices and plan for our games. We ran a hybrid Wing T and Single Wing Offense with the Spin Series being the base attack. Your ideas on splits; alignments and blocking rules were also the basis for our offense. And, even after trying a 4-4 defense, we went to your Wide tackle 6 and controlled everyone we played! YOU did a great job coaching our team in absentia!!!

Thanks again for all your help! God really blessed us with talented kids who listened and worked hard. Several members of our coaching staff bought your book and used it extensively. It is nice to have Christian Brothers in the coaching profession.

In Christ,

2008 Dave,
This is Coach Paul White in El Paso. I coached my son's 10-11 year team this year as a first time football coach. We had a great season. My son and several other players on my team were on a team last year that had a lot of talent but horrible coaching. My son came in a little late and was not in the "in" group and there for was not even considered for a position. He was basically a tackling dummy all season with multiple promises to play in Saturday games and he never did. After that season, I started searching for just "football plays" on the internet when I came across your website...and the rest is history!. We hit the fall season full steam going 6-2 and making the playoffs our first year. We beat the team my son was on last year in a blow out fashion. 24-0 in the first quarter!! Final score was 44-22 I think We won our first playoff game only loosing the next one to the eventual "Little Bowl" champs. At the "Little Bowl" game, our team was called down from the stands to accept the "sportsmanship" award that the city awards every year to one team. This is for all age groups 8-9,10-11 and 12-13. About 100 teams. This includes the Coaches, players and parents. What an honor our first year.

We entered a local tournament to give the kids some more games before calling quits and won our two first games 30-6 and 30-0. We lost the last game 22-12 to the team that lost in the "Little Bowl" and took 2nd place in the city. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!

Hi Coach,
Can not thank you enough for putting together this system. Not only did it turn around our organization, it probably saved it. I have coached in our league in the southern tier of New York for the last 6 years. We always did so-so around fifty percent winning percentage for the teams I have coached. Last year I purchased the your program around October being very frustrated on both sides of the ball, other teams turning games into horse races, the ones where they simply sweep or reverse us to death. Not very fun football. The offense struggled putting just 27 points up in 8 games. I mentioned when I purchased the program because, as soon as I got my hands on it I dove in.

In June of this year we all got together to talk about the program again and it was decided that every age group would run this system. We started practice on July 28 for three nights a week until school started and basically followed the plan by the book, throwing in a couple things here and there that may benefit us( a drill, a game etc.).

It was just like you said it would be with some grumbling parents, the conditioning, this can't work etc. That was until the first game in a 35-14 point blowout that could have easily been 50-0. My team ended up 6-2, losing to the eventual champs in the regular season and our last game in a heartbreaker to make it to the super bowl. We were down 20-14, they had stopped our 16 power. We drove down the entire field on 22 wedge. The defensive end finally gave up his responsibilities after about 60 yards. I ran one more 22 wedge, came back with a buck wedge and fumbled what would have been one of the easiest touchdown's of the year. No regrets. Great game. Great season. Great Program. We would not have even been in this game if it wasn't for your hard work and dedication.

Our defense gave up fourteen touchdowns, eight of which were in the two loses. Much improved. Our offense scored 25 touchdowns, ran for over 2,000 yards and averaged 8.2 yards per carry. Unbelievably compared to previous years. The 7-8 year olds went 4-4 after not winning a game last year. Some would say yeah 4-4, but the coaches are even more excited now about next year. I watched this team improving each and every week.

2008 Coach,
I want to personally thank you as you have been our silent partner for everything including your system, offense, defense, practice plans and your help via e-mail throughout the season . Well you can add another banner to your wall of organizations you have helped.

5-6 D League 8-1 (unoffcially-1st yr.)

7-9 Division A Champions

10-11 SemiFinalist (Undefeated Regular Season)

12-13 Semifinalist (kids were 0-9 under another coach to :30 seconds from Championship and 10-2)

FYI - We hang our hat on DOING WHAT WE DO. It's up to the opp. to try & stop us. We tell our kids we about execution.

2008 Dave,
Just wanted to pass along some photos of our Super Bowl victory this year. I bought your DVD's two years ago, and we've been running your system ever since. Most of the teams in the league have filmed us (6 and 7 year olds) and know exactly what we're going to run, but can't stop us. The team that we beat in the Super Bowl hadn't given up a point all season (12 games). They had more team talent that us, but we blew them out. A true credit to your coaching style and system. We're in northeastern PA (Dallas, PA) where football is extremely competitive.

Thanks again,

Hey Dave,I attended your May 2008 seminar in Washington State and spoke with you after the Seattle clinic mentioning that I had run a single wing for four years in Langley, BC, Canada before adopting your system last year. This season we are undefeated 21-0; 10-0 in league play, 3-0 in the play-offs and were division champs.

Just thought I would pass this along. Thanks again

Hey Dave,
Well we did it again! The Broncos went 9-0 winning our Bowl Championship game at the end of the year. We ran the sainted 6 with a couple add-ons. Also, we ran your 6-2 defense and gave up 2 scores all year.

This is my second year running your Single Wing and 6-2. We were undefeated both years and won the league with 2 different teams in 2 different leagues. Thanks again for being such a great resource.

Coach Dave,
Greetings from the UK. We have a tradition in Bristol of producing good, hard nosed American football teams and have achieved success at a senior level over the past 10 years. Our current youth program was started off in 2004 and our then OC Coach Damon Kirby introduced the single wing after seeing footage and researching the system extensively. Our season starts in April and runs thru til Sept, but we train all year round to maintain that interest the players are age 16-19.

We've reached the playoffs for 5 years straight now, including losing the Bowl game in OT back in 2005. Our SW is currently a combination of different Single Wing systems and we love it.

Dave,
I just wanted to let you know how my PW 8-10 year old football team did in our first year running your Single Wing system.

Let me first start by letting you know that I have had this core group of kids (7 kids) since they were eight years old. We went 0-10 the first year and 1-9 last year for a combined record of 1-19.

After reading your tips and blog section for a couple of months, I realized that I was doing everything that you point out in your book that losing teams do. So, I bought your book and materials.

The number one best decision that I have every made for my youth football team. I implemented the practice plans, defense, special teams, and offense just as you have outlined the book and here are the results.

We are a non-select rec. team with 18 players (10 of the 18 had never played tackle football). We went undefeated 10-0 for the first time using your system.

Offensively we outscored our opponents 321-6, scoring on all but three possession. We ran the Sainted Six along with the Mouse Series, Spinner Series, Buck Wedge Series, Mesh Series, and the War Mouse formation. The 31 Trap and Spinner 26 Power were our bread and butter running plays and 18 Sweep Pass and War Mouse Pass were our go to pass plays when we needed to make yards. Also, all of our non striped players either scored a touchdown or a extra point. How many other teams can say that?

Defensively we gave up 1 touchdown and only 6 first downs in 10 games. We ran your WT6 defense as you outlined in your book. We where the only team in the league were the subs played as much as our starters.

Again, thanks for making this information available for me to use. It really made me reflect and remember the fun I had playing youth, high school, and college football and put the enjoyment back into coaching youth football again.

Hi Dave,
The Leesburg Redskins (8-9 year-olds) have existed for two seasons and we have successfully used your version of the Snglewing both years. Our league re-drafts each year and we were only able to get two players from 2006 back on the roster. Still, the kids managed an undefeated season. The team's all time record now stands at 21-0.

This year's team scored 343 points in 12 games for an average of 28.6 points per game. The vast majority (over 260) of those points were scored in the first half with our younger, less experienced kids playing the entire second half of nearly every game. Fifteen of our eighteen kids were able to score this season with the three exceptions being weight restricted players who were unable to play any position other than interior line.

Winning is always nice but the thing I enjoy most about your material is the insight on developing young players and keeping the game fun and safe for all. We have never had a child that did not finish the season and all of our players from 2006 returned to football again this year. Of my 7 youngest players from that first team, two were starting QBs this season, two were starting running backs, two were top linemen for their respective teams, and the other was a two way starter at offensive end and defensive tackle.

Thanks Dave,
-Steve Arnold

Dave,
I ordered your system this past spring and studied it all summer. I had a hard time convincing my staff in the beginning, so I started off with some of the basic principles of the single wing. As the season went on I would add in little things here and there basically without them knowing until our final offensive walk-through of the week. Last year was my first year and we went 3-6 without your system. This year with only a few more kids (3rd & 4th grade) we ended up 10-2 and became the ACYFL State Champions. I already have parents asking me how can there kids join my team next year. And we just ended our season 3 weeks ago.

Thanks Again,

Hi Coach Dave,
Thanks for writing "Winning Youth Football." In 2006 I was a rookie Offensive Coordinator for our Mitey Mite team, unfortunately I didn't know "Winning Youth Football" existed. Our age 7, 8 & 9 year-old team ended up havinga tough season (3-5). Too many times the kids would come back to the huddle and ask, "... Coach, who do I block." I made a lot of rookie mistakes and vowed to never let that happen again. I found your book in January of this year, and attended your seminar back in February at the Glazier Clinic in Newton, MA. What a difference.

Our team went 7-1, scoring over 200 points in those 8 games. We scored on the very first play of the year (16 Power), and did that in three other games, plus we had two others where we scored on the second play (all were 16 Power). I had 7 different kids score touchdowns on offense. All the things you predicted could happen.

Perhaps the best part was I shared the book with my Head Coach and other Assistants and they all bought in, it greatly helped in our coaching approach. Your system is a great blueprint, and I am really looking forward to next year.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Regards,
Coach Jay

Dave,
We installed your Sing Wing offense this year and experienced outstanding success. Our team finished with a record of 9-1 and the Utah County Football Conference 2007 Championship. Your system simplified our job as coaches and allowed us to avoid many of the pitfalls encountered when installing a new offence. We consider your book and DVD's to be a bargain that no coach should be without.

2008 Coach Cisar,
I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance this season. Our 9 year olds had a perfect season going 12-0 and winning the Super Bowl. It was exciting to see our team do so well running your Single Wing offense and Wide Tackle Six defense. Here are some of the stats from our 12 game season: Scoring Offense, 44 points per game average, 79 Total TDs scored , 3 running backs with 15 or more TDs ,5 running backs with at least 5 TDs. Just 5 lost fumbles and only 3 punts Defense 9 SHUTOUTS IN 12 GAMES! Allowed 52 total points for the season. Just 19 1st downs allowed.

You and your system were so instrumental in our success. I sincerely appreciate you being available via email throughout our season to answer any/all questions. Our kids were so excited and proud of their accomplishments. To any other coaches out there looking to find the right offensive/defensive system to install for their teams, look no further. Thanks again Coach Cisar!

2008 Coach,

I was a first year football coach and had never played. I ordered your complete package and with the help of other fathers had a banner yearby anybody's standard. My 9 and under league team went undefeated outscoring opponents 237- 23 over an 8 game schedule. Now get this, I took my league team with the addition of a few other children including some athletic kids that had not even played football.....practiced 9 times... AND PLACED THIRD IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT ! ! ! I do appreciate your teaching techniques and look forward to improving my application of your system next year.

2008 Coach Dave,
I wanted to let you know how instrumental the video’s and coaching guides were in our championship season this year. We dominated the division with only 1 loss during the regular season (by 1 point). Our Spanish Fort 7/8 year-old team has implemented the tools that you have provided making our team and coaching staff much stronger. We play several other teams within Baldwin County, Alabama and were unstoppable. As a result we have had many parents approach our coaches about how to get their boys on our team next year.

I first found out about Winning Youth Football after watching a average talented Jupiter team almost win the state championship in Florida and a good friend of mine win a championship in the local city football league. Being that I coached at the high school level for 4 years and youth league football for 9 years, I was skeptical at first about the single wing at first. When this season started, I planned on running the single wing about 20 - 25% of the time while running my other offensive sets. I soon figured out that Dave's system could not be stopped, and we started running it 75% - 85% of the time. My team defeated the Jupiter team in a hard fought battle for the Conference Championship, and then proceeded to win the state and Southeast Region of the US championship in Pop Warner. We were the FIRST team in the history of our conference (over 35 years) to make it to the Pop Warner Super Bowl at Disney. We were in some regional playoff games that we won because we ran the single wing and the other team didn't know how to defense it. We ended up finishing 3rd in the country and beat the 8th ranked team in the country 33 - 0. Also, my friend that helped me install the single wing won his league championship for the second straight year at the city league running Dave's system. The Spinner series is my favorite series that is unstoppable if executed properly. Also, the Jet series was a great part of our offense with my quarterback's ability to throw the ball so well. Whether you are new to coaching or have coached for 20 years, I HIGHLY recommend Dave's video's if you want to be a successful youth football coach.

Thanks,

2008 Coach Dave...the year was a huge success considering this was a new Christian youth football program that a bunch of us started to help promote football to kids by instilling in them a real passion for the game, develop a feeder program for our high school and take a meaningful Christ centered approach to an organized youth sport...we used the single wing offense almost exclusively and added a few of our own wrinkles to it as the season progressed-as we remained undefeated and started getting scouted...only one other team ran the single wing on us the big difference in the game was our disciplined execution giving us a measureable advantage...one of the best things we got from your CD series was your practice schedule, and practice techniques-these were priceless: (1)how to teach angle form tackling in stages, (2) the various games that help make practice really fun for the kids-i could go on and on...60 percent of my 11 year olds had never strapped on a chin strap prior to this season...we ended up ranked second in our division and eventually lost to a very experienced team who had an undefeated season...I do not believe that we would have had nearly the success we did, nor the fun without using your CD series as a base to build a solid football program...several of my boys got very emotional the night we played our last game knowing that the season was over...as a coach i felt the next day like a kid the day after Christmas...all the fun would have to wait until next summer...thanks for the priceless memories Coach Cisar...your program rocks!!

Coach Dave, Just wanted you to know how awesome your system is. I found your website ( just by luck!) and immediately bought into your teaching method. I purchased the Step by Step plan book, Implementing the Single Wing DVD, The perfect practice DVD and Smothering defense DVD. Our season was a great success. Our 9-10 old yr team ended the season with the #1 ranked Defense, in 8 regular season games only 18 points scored against. Our offense was second in the league in points scored and we were the number one seed going into the playoffs. We ended our season with a loss in the first round 14-13 but a very successful season. The parents and the players bought into your system I plan on attending your clinic this spring ’09 when you come down to Dallas, look forward to meeting you and have lots of questions… One thing maybe you can help God Bless and Merry Christmas, Tyler Stewart, Dallas Texas

2008 Dear coach Dave. Your system is the best I have seen. I am looking forward to attending your clinic and meet you in Denver in 2009. The book and DVDs are awesome and a must have. I used your system in 2007 and again in 2008 and we went undefeated for two consecutive years allowing 7 points scored against us in 07 and 13points in 08. we have a total of 14 kids on the team so some kids had to play both sides of the ball but they loved it and never complained. We have kids and parents from other teams wanting to a part of the falcons. thanks for all the coaching tips and support from your bog.

Sincerely:

Coach Dave
I wanted to drop you a note about our 2008 season. I am the head coach for the Modesto Christian Kingsmen Novice youth football team, which is 9 and 10 year olds. Overall we had a great year.

We were very methodical in implementing the offense exactly as outlined in your materials, and this was key in laying a good foundation for our kids. We never added anything in the way of formations or plays. By mid-season we were ready to add the Jet Series and this really helped us cope with adjustments that other teams were making after our 5 – 0 start. I would also add that our parents and kids really have bought into the Single Wing and they love the idea that we run something that no one else in the area runs. The Wedge is our signature play, and our fans love it when we run it, and we have taken the time to coach it step by step so we are successful with it. Thanks again for all your help and for the great materials that you make available.

All the Best Jim Struck

2008 Coach,
This past season has been great and it is all thanks to your books and dvd's. We went 6-2 for the season and the wedge was our most productive play during the season. Our offensive line really took pride in their blocking. I coach a 12U team and after you sent me the Burst Series back in December we implemented it in one night. With a combination of the wedge out of the jet and the sweep out of the jet we made it to the Georgia Parks and Recreation Championship after beating teams 30-7 and 28-14. We ended up losing in the last minute 14-19. We turned our season around on the defensive side of the ball as well on the offensive side. This past off season I did so much research finding out what worked and what didn't, your series did the trick. I have been coaching youth football for 8 yrs now and I wish I had this sooner. We purchased the ultra package and it had everything we needed it is well worth the money. My coaches and I will be attending your clinic in Atlanta on March 21st.

Thanks
Tom Ravita, Atlanta Georgia

Coach, By the way- we went 5-1-1 this year , and using your 6-2 defense our first team D only allowed 2 TDs the whole year.

Thanks for all of your work.

Dave,
This is my third year, very successful year once again. We finished our season 8 - 2. we got beat in the State Championship Game for the third year in a row. We got beat by a much superior team, with huge players. The Single Wing continues to be devastating. We had a basically young team this season, but that didn't seam to make a difference.

Next year we will have 17 boys returning from this years team, and with a little bit of luck, and I will be disappointed if we don't win the Sate Championship Game.

If you could send your new additions to the book, I would be greatly appreciative. To Date I have bought all of your information and DVD's.

Thanks,

Dear Dave,
My name is Jeff Sanders, I coach a JV little league team. The 2007 season was my first year coaching and needless to say we did not have a good year. We have an 8 game season and we scored 6 touchdowns and only won one game. I couldn't understand why because we had just as much talent as the others teams in the league. After the season was over I knew that I had to try to do something to turn the program around so I starting looking on the internet for anything to help me be a better coach. When I saw your program I knew this would work so I bought a package.

After watching the DVD's and reading the book I was so excited. I called a coaches meeting and went over your program, all of the coaches were just as excited. I found that having the sainted six down and easing the boys into tackling with the base defense was a winning combination.

We went from the worst team in the league to the highest scoring and giving up the least points and winning the league championship in 2008. This is the first time that the JV has ever won the first place title. Me, the coaching staff, kids and their parents would like to thank you for taking your time to put together this program. The hard work that you have done made my job easy.

Thank you,

Coach Cisar,
Hello. I just wanted to thank you for the time you put in to update the Blog. It has provided me with many tips and insight for coaching. Many of the tips apply to coaching any sport. I purchased your complete system two years ago and purchased the Smothering Defense DVD last year. Both have helped me tremendously develop the kids to reach their potential.

Our league is made up of towns with populations anywhere between 3,000 to 50,000 people. We compete against towns that are 3-4 times our size. Since implementing your system two years ago, we have been able to compete against these teams. We don't always win against the larger teams, but are able to move the ball and score against them. We were consistently being blown-out prior to using your system. When we play towns that are similar in size to us, we have done very well.

Thank you for help.

2008 Dave,
This was my fourth year as head coach, coaching in the same league as the kids that feed into High School power Bellevue. In those years we went 5-24. This year after your clinic in Issaquah, Washington, we bought into your system and went 7-0 and won our division, with the same kids as the year before. We scored over 250 points after scoring just 50 points the previous year. I implemented your system straight out of the book and I’m a true believer. Thanks for all you’ve done.

Dave,
My name is Chris Caliendo, I played line backer for Nebraska 1986-89 and then helped coach the freshman line backers in 1990. My son started contact football this past year and I signed up as coach. (More like pressured into it) knowing the game well but unsure how to explain it to Christian school 5th and 6th graders I searched the internet for help. That’s when I came across your web site. Knowing Tom Osborne and Dave Remington personally, I bought into your program. Not a week went by that my kids weren’t out sized and out manned on the field by there opponents. But the techniques and strategies I learned from your program gave these kids an incredible advantage over their opponents. We ended the season with a perfect 7-0 record. It was incredible to see these kids develop as quickly as they did, and having fun doing it. I truly believe I would have not been so successful without your program. I would like to say thanks, for giving my team a season they will never forget, gaining a love for the game that can only come from such a great first experience, And for giving them such a huge sense of accomplishment that will stick with them many years. (and not to mention, making me look like a hero)

Sincerely,

My name is Marion "Reggie" Hill. For the last two seasons I have been the coach of the Top Flight Cardinals (7-8 and 9-10 year olds). I have been a disciple of the single wing, more importantly I have implemented your system of teaching and equipping youth to play the game of football. All of the resources I have purchased from you have been invaluable, from setting up a system of expectations and values for the parents to developing kids into young men with the confidence to play the greatest game ever.

This last year my Mighty Mite Cardinals (7-8 year old) went undefeated, 8-0. These kids ran the single wing system to perfection and always scored more than 30 points a game. The implementation of your wide tackle 6 defense shut down opposing teams and our defense never gave up more than 6 points a game. The kids had a blast, the parents loved it and it was fun to watch their development as they progress to the next level playing in the Junior Pee Wee league.

Dave,
It really isn't my nature to write this type of missive, but I wanted to convey my sincere thanks for what was probably the most rewarding seasons of my 16 years of coaching youth football. After watching the tapes and reading your books, I not only installed the most productive system I have ever coached, but eliminated numerous negative procedures that I had always considered partof effective coaching. I am truly more excited about coaching the game than I have ever been. I plan to avail myself of your knowledgeand experience as much as possible. As far as I am concerned, you have truly figured "it" out.

I'd like to give a shout out to Dave Cisar. I took over offensive and defensive coordinater responsibility for a 3-7 team this year. I knew I wanted to run the Single Wing and I turned to Dave's book as a template. We put in his WT6 defense and Dave's SW offense with a few tweaks. Our team went from 3-7 in '07 to 12-0 and league champions in '08. We gave up just over 3 points a game (no one scored more than 6 on us,) and we had to pull the starting backfield in all but two games (not an easy feat with 15 players on the roster.)

Coach Sully
Menominee. Michigan

Coach Dave,
I implemented your winning youth football plan and our team went 11-0 in the 8 yr old Alpharetta Youth Football Association and won the championship. Over 13 games our defense gave up a league low of just 40 points. Our special teams averaged recovering one onsides kick per game, some games we got 2.

On offense we controlled the ball and we scored enough to win every game, and many times ran the clock out. I am hoping I can make the Atlanta clinic and can talk to you in person.

Take care,
Dave Wiedman
Atlanta, Georgia

2008 Coach Dave,
We used your system last year with our two first year teams in the 8U & 10U divisions. The 8U was coached by a “true” first year coach and myself. We tweaked your system to fit our kids and to the league we compete in. Our kids had some success going a combined 20-2. Both teams had early loses, both winning rematches later in the season and/or at the leagues super bowl. We truly appreciate what you do and how you do it.

Best regards,
Don Vrana, Dallas Texas

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing the knowledge and experience you have gained through your years of coaching youth football. What I have learned from your website, book, videos, and clinics have helped me, a man with no coaching experience, turn around a program that had a reputation of being one of the worst teams in the league into one of the best teams in a very competitive conference. After two years of watching my son play for coaches who wasted practice time, concentrated on a core group instead of every player, openly argued with each other in front of the kids, and had no real plan I asked our commissioner to let me coach my own team. In 2006, I was given an all new Mitey-Mite team to coach. I knew having basic knowledge of fundamentals, common sense, and a love for the game was not going to be enough. I was in need of a good offensive and defensive strategy, a good overall plan. After reading about your system and beliefs, I was sold. I received the book and DVD package only two months before the season, and took a crash course.

With a short time to learn, and only having my sixteen-year-old son who never played as my only assistant, I knew it would be tough. We are a Police Athletic League sponsored team that plays in a very tough Pop Warner conference in Northeast Florida. In 2007 we went 6-2 in the regular season and scored the third most points in the league. One loss was 20-7 to the defending Division II National Champion Flagler Bulldogs. We gained a lot of attention in our conference by beating teams that normally whipped us. I'm looking forward to seeing you again April 4th in Orlando.

Coach Mike Schild

2008 Coach,
Just a quick thank you for your football material, its working wonders so far. Our team didn't win a game last fall and only scored 12 points total during the season. So far in the spring season we're 3-0 and our average score is 33-0.

Thank you!
Ron Farr

2008 Dave,
I’d been studying your system for about eight months and decided to use it for a 9 & 10 year old league. I am a first time coach and was handed a new (expansion) team and none of the kids had played football together but most teams in this league have played together since they were six years old as a team. We’ve been very successful running the Single Wing even being grossly outsized in most games.

We have a dominant team in the league that so happens to run your Single Wing as well and they know how to defend it very well too (they are undefeatedWe were the 5th seed out of 24 teams and currently we are at 8-2-1. Not bad for a coach who didn’t even know much about football a year ago!! Thanks for taking the time to write the binder and I would highly recommend it to any coach because it wins football games and the kids have a great time too!!

2008 Dear Coach -
I was asked to be a head coach of one of the two 4th grade teams for 2008. With much trepidation I agreed, but only after buying and watching ALL your DVDs and reading your book. We were 3-6 last year and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Our team was small and less than enthusiastic about playing this year, especially broken up into 2 teams.

All the experienced coaches were on the other 4th grade team. I was the only coach with any experience and we had only 1 running back on the team with any experience touching the ball. None of my other coaches ever coached football before..

Well, because of you and your system, we went undefeated into the Championship Game. We were 10-0 playing the only other undefeated team on a very cold day (coldest day we ever played in - wind chill below 10 degrees) against a much bigger team.

We lost 18-14 but the kids played hard and learned a lot about themselves and what it means to be on a team. Just want to say thanks!

2008 Coach Dave,
I used you system this year and this was my first year coaching. The league was 5th and 6th graders and we have a minimum play rule that made us have two teams that would alternate offense and defense between quarters. We play with 8 min quarters and the clock ran most of the time. After I went back and applied your fixes from the book, we started winning and scoring lots of points. We finished 5-1 down the stretch with us winning our championship game and we averaged about 20 points per game during that stretch. We had 12 different players score. We only had 15 plays, but teams hated playing us because if we didn't break open a big run, we would take a whole quarter to drive and score.

Thanks for helping us out,
Clifford Mulligan

2008 Dave,
I had more criticism this year than any previous year from opposing coaches and parents for running the Single Wing, but our kids and parents had a ball. We could have been a .500 team but were 10-1.

Thanks,

2008 Dave:
I coached a 6th grade team this season and we used your 6-2 defense as our base and it was tremendous. In 12 games, we only allowed 1 TD. Our average yards allowed was under 2 yards per play. The scheme was simple but highly effective as it kept offensive lineman off our linebackers who were able to tackle everything they saw. Keep the great information coming! Coach Matt Hunniford.

2008 Dave,
We had a great season. It was our second season with the Single Wing, the first season using your methods. We have a team with good speed, but no one with real "break away" speed. Your system allowed us to capitalize on the talent we had, and really spread the ball around. All 8 of my backs got in the end zone this year. I am the head coach, but I am also the offensive line coach, and I really enjoyed the simplicity of your blocking schemes, again, it allowed us to really capitalize on the talent we had available. We won our post season tournament, against the only other team we played that also ran the single wing. How about that! The 2 teams in the finals both ran the Single Wing!

Your system, the book, the videos, the blog and the regular emails have been a HUGE part of our success and I am forever grateful.

Thanks,

2008 Dave,
I read your book and was very excited about getting started and even used your sample speech for the first parent meeting . There were a few skeptics early on, but in the end, the parents were very supportive of what we were doing. After reading your book Winning Youth Football, I implemented everything in the book as you suggested and made every effort to introduce everything in a step by step progression. Our Offense finished with the highest point total in our 14 team division scoring 25.5 points per game with a mercy rule. We scored on the number one ranked defense in the league who shut out all other opponents and made it to the semifinals. This was a tremendous accomplishment considering our team went 1-8 the year before and two of the four starting backs were first year players. All of the other players were either first or second year players. Our first playoff win came against a coach who has been coaching youth football for 15 years. I was very proud of our kids and confidently can say that your system is the best out there for youth football. It was a ton of fun and I can't wait to get started again next year and build on our successes. The kids all want to come back and play again next year.

Thank you for your tremendous efforts as a coach and educator!

2008 Dave,
I took over our local youth football program 2 years ago, I had 12 years of high school coaching experience running option football to the spinner series run by the state of Wisconsin legendary high school coach Marty Crowe. Our program is the smallest out of 46 schools; the winning percentage from 1993 to 2006 was .135%. So we all decided as a staff that we would commit to run the Single Wing. Against the programs in our league that are similar in size to ours we averaged 36 points a game.

Rick Hughes

Hey Dave,
First of all let me say thank you because I honestly feel as though your system may have saved our youth football program. Our program had been struggling both on the field and as an organization. I am the offensive coordinator of our Widget team and we had experienced several unsuccessful seasons and most levels. Our head coach Terry Williams and I saw a presentation that you gave at Indian Lakes. I admit, he was sold but I was not so sure about the program at first. I purchased the book and DVD's and the more I studied the system the more I liked what I saw. It motivated and taught our coaches to be better and really helped us identify some errors that we were making. Also the structure and organization of a proven system seemed to be just what we needed.

From the very beginning the implementation of you system showed benefits for our program. Most importantly it was obvious that our players were having a lot more fun and really brought in to it. It was easy to see the positive impact that it had on our players. Some of them told their friends and new players began to join our team. This was critical because during the past few seasons we were losing more and more players and families because of organizational problems that limited our ability to be successful. This season was clearly a success and gives us something to build on. It also it has created excitement within our program that was not there before. We had a winning season, made the playoffs, and were complimented by several opposing coaches about how great a team we were. I can honestly say that our team has earned a great deal of respect.

As a coach it was so reassuring to have your system and tips to refer to. Sometimes it actually felt like I you were there on the sidelines with me instructing me about how to game plan and make adjustments. As you know coaching can be tough but thanks to your system and products, I've found that it's much more rewarding. I really felt like our kids enjoyed themselves and had the opportunity to enjoy success. We are all more excited about football.

Thanks Again

Just a quick note from Nashville, Tennessee; we are the 2008 Mid-State CCC Champions 7-8 year old division.

Thanks,

Hello coach,
We went 26-4, over the last 2 years with your system and hope to go undefeated next year at age 9-10.

Thanks for the help.
Leon Amerson

Dear Dave
I met you in Boston several years ago and I purchased your system on the Single Wing. I stayed in touch with you by email for a while and kept your information. I moved on from coaching the E team and D team as head coach to being voted director of coaches in our program and working with all of the coaches. I also have been the O and D line coach at the Brighton High School Bengals in Brighton Mass, for the past two years. As a coach at Brighton HS In 2007 we went undefeated and were 12-0 with a perfect season and we won the Division 4 Superbowl. (The base wedge is our big play in the red zone and in must get situations). In 2008 we were 7-2 and just missed another playoff spot by an 18-14 game against O Bryant HS. As Vice President and Director of Coaches at Brookline-Jamaica Plain Pop Warner I have helped our program over the past seven years grow from a total of 66 players to 250 players and six fully staffed teams. Each year the program has grown in size and proficiency. This year 5 out of 6 teams were in the playoffs in the Merrimack Valley League. Two teams played off in the New England Championships last Saturday (C level and D level). This week our D team will be competing on Saturday @ 1PM in the National title playoffs in Disney and tonight was the last practice of the season. As director of the coaches I have used your materials to help organize practices and make more effective use of time.

I taught the wedge play at the E team and D team levels to the coaches as well. The league is moving us up to division 1 because of our overall success and record and we are viewed by others in the league as a model football program. The most important elements of your winning football materials is, in my opinion building character and getting organized. As coaching director I encourage all coaches to develop their own system and we stick to a few basics, the dive-wedge, sweep, and reverse plays and each team must run those plays first. To me personally the wedge play is the greatest play in football to run because it requires a team effort and is what football is all about. I look forward to seeing you again at the Glazier clinics in Boston this year on Feb. 14 and I'll make sure I touch base with you. Keep up the good work and have a blessed Christmas.

Hey Coach -
Leaving the Reno clinic after watching your session and buying your DVDs last March my staff and I were extremely excited. We installed a lot of your efficient methods, worked on baby steps leading to full speed, and put in a few of your fun games - towel "tug" And then we did "deer hunter" because a) kids loved it and b) we did not have any returning key players (QB, RBs, LBs - all moved up) so we had to evaluate from scratch and this was a great game of watching them move "naturally".

Anyway, the biggest "speed bump" that we ran into was ... the parents. They didn't buy into this "fun" we were having and wondered why we weren't doing more "tackle football" drills. First of all we were Mighty Mites (6-8yr olds) and loved your approach and don't regret at all using your methods. Second, like I said we had zero key personnel and shoot we just wanted to make sure these kids were returning the next day so we could have a team! Of course we ran other drills that worked on blocking (love the bird drill on the shoeshine getting them to reach and step quickly) and tackling. Thing is the kids LOVED what we did so I knew we were doing the right thing.

The one thing I took out of this season was it's about the kids ... not the parents!!

Coach Goodell

2008 Hi Coach,
Last year was our first year utilizing your system and your coaching methods. The system works great! The DVD’s were excellent and really brought the assistant coaches up to speed on what we needed to accomplish. Your coaching theories were very helpful and appropriate for our youth league. We took a team that was 1-8 last year to 7-2. Our Defense was really strong with 4 shutouts and 3 games with only one TD allowed. Our Offense did well with the Sainted Six.

Thank you,
Coach Zack, La Jolla Torreys

I implemented the Single Wing this year at the 7-8yr old level in a very competitive league in Southern California. I only just 4 boys who had every played tackle football before. We did not have much speed nor size. Not many people gave us a chance to win one game. We finished with a overall record of 9-4 making it to the semi finals and we never got shut out. The teams we lost to were either in the Championship game or the Superbowl. Needless to say I was very impressed with my boys and the Single Wing.

This is the 2nd season with your offense and we won our division and played in the Championship game. The offense was better this year with a year under our belts and the kids started the season already prepared for the offense. The kids had a great time and the parents were very happy.

Thanks coach,

2008 Coach,
We ran your Single Wing offense this year with our little guys. We went 10-3 and won a League Championship and Harvest Bowl. Thanks for all the info, I’m hungry for more next season.

Coach Shelton
South Berkely Broncos, Inwood West Virginia

2008 Coach Dave,
First of all, thanks for the incredible book you have written. I bought it on CD, printed it out, and used it religiously. This is my second year coaching 5th-6th grade football and my team went 6-1 this year. Last year, I did not have your book, but ran the Single Wing and we went 3-4. I can’t tell you the difference having your SERIES based plays made. We scored 128 points this year on offense. Every game except two we had won by halftime and I let up completely in the second half.

We installed your Wide Tackle Six by the book and minus our one loss, had only 28 points scored us on all year. The Wide Tackle Six really worked well for us this year.The entire year I had the 7th-8th grade coaches telling us how much fun our team was to watch, how organized we were at practice, and how deceptive the SW really was. The best compliment of all, though, was from the coaches of two other teams. The first coach told me how they just could not stop our wedge during the game. He then told me that they had tried to simulate our offense all week in preparation for the game, but he just could not make it look right to show his kids what we would do in the game. That made my season right there. The second coach said said, “I knew your plays, and I still couldn’t stop you.” We are now the only team in the league running it and I surely hope no one else picks it up.

My coaches and I have decided to stay at 5th-6th grade level, even though my son will be moving up. The parents are begging us to move up as well. So I guess you could say all the kids and parents really like the system.

2008 Coach Cisar,
I just had to write you a quick note to tell you about our organizations turnaround using your methods. We are a county Park and Rec team in North Georgia. My son has played two years as a 7 and 8 year old player. The first year his team went 0-8 and barely scored. The second year his team went 2-6 and scored 34 points in 8 games.

This frustration led me to your system. After researching many programs, yours was an "A to Z" formula that could take just about any caring adult and make them a decent football coach. When all the organizations in our leagues were compared, we were solidly at bottom in my sons age group. This group who had so little success, went from not being able to score to being the second highest scoring team in the league. We did all this with 4 of our best players playing "up" with the 10 year olds. While we didn't run the table, all of our kids had an enjoyable season and we had 0, yes zero, parent complaints. I was told by several parents that this was the best athletic experience they have ever had in any Park and Rec sport. That was worth the time alone. I have also been assured that the players who played "up" will be playing with our age group next year.

We fostered a love of the game in the children and the parents. Our success energized the community. This is a huge step for the sport in a community that is desperate to develop a winning tradition in football.

I guess what I am getting at is that the success goes so much farther than just the football field. We have kids that were timid and hesitant who are now outgoing and confident. We are helping instill community values by tying them into participation with our teams. The material you provide is worth the asking price just for the football results; however the other collateral results are priceless.

2008 Hi Dave.
We had a great year. Played for the league title, lost but so what. It was the best year ever for these kids. We just would get 3 yards, or 4 or 5 yards at a time. The 16 power was unstoppable. the kids loved the no play it worked everytime, plus we recovered almost all of are kickoffs. The games would end with the other team hardly touching the ball. Although we even scored 68 points one game . I want to thank you so much for everything. I will be running the jet series next year,

Coach Scott

2008 Dear Dave,
I am a youth football coach in Connecticut. I ordered your book in the off season, and have read sections of it literally thousands of times. I installed the Single Wing offense, the 6 – 2 defense, many of your special team ideas, and a majority of your practice methodology. I am the only team in our organization that uses any of your ideas. Playing a much tougher schedule last year, we finished 5 – 2, upset the #1 seeded undefeated team in the first round of the playoffs, but got smoked 18 – 0 by another undefeated team in the championship game. This year, playing a pretty good schedule, we went undefeated during the regular season (8 – 0), and gained the top seed for the playoffs. We had 11 different players score offensive touchdowns, and several games where every running back carried the ball at least once. We again made it through the playoffs all the way to the championship game, but again got smoked 26 – 0 by the other undefeated team in the league. I can’t say enough good things about your coaching methodology and ideas – it has made me a much better coach, and my players much better in the skills of football. It was head and shoulders easily the best football investment I have ever made.

Sincerely,
John Woodring

2008 Hello Dave,
I used your version of the single wing offense and was very pleased with the results. I coaches a team of 8 & 9 year olds, with 4 players that have ever played before, and finished my season with an above .500 record. I had absolutely no speed, very few "athletes" and was able to not only compete but dominate some of the teams that we played. I have been coaching for 8 years now and have ran the single wing offense each year but I have never ran your version until last year. It's the most deceptive yet affective offense I have ever ran. Last year my team went undefeated and I was even able to teach them the spin series...6 & 7 year olds. That's how easy your version is to implement. My Pop Warner association was the first one in our league to use the single wing offense and now there are a number of teams running it. I just would like to say thanks for sharing this will everyone and making it available.

2008 Mr. Cisar
I have two stories to tell for the 2009 season one is for the peewees and other for the jrs. We are the Taft greyhounds I am the head coach for the peewee ages 5-7 and the jrs ages 8-9.I have been coaching for about 10 years and I have had some wins but more losses in my time. I used your system this year looking for a change in my coaching and making it fun for the kids to return the following year. This year was the first time we had a peewee division so I was coaching them on my own and coaching the Jr with two asst. on this division. Parents we very happy on how the kids picked up on your system and how well they played for the very first time in full contact.

On my Jr division in 2007 we lost all of our games. This year 2008 I took the same group of kids and introduced your system, this kids had fun, picked up on your system very fast even the new kids that came on board and never played before, their parents were impressed on how well they did. Even my coaches were skeptical on your system but I kept on going. We ran the sainted 6 a few wedge plays,jet Series and the spinner Series. On our season we made it to the championship, losing in the last 2 minutes of the game. Now my coaches love your system and they are going to run this in the senior division next season. I thank you for your time and effort on the hard work you put for this system we love it and want more of it. We are planning to attend your clinics can't wait. Thank you once again

2008 Coach Dave,
Greetings from the UK. We have a tradition in Bristol of producing good, hard nosed American football teams and have achieved success at a senior level over the past 10 years. Our current youth program was started off in 2004 and our then OC Coach Damon Kirby introduced the single wing after seeing footage and researching the system extensively. Our season starts in April and runs thru til Sept, but we train all year round to maintain that interest the players are age 16-19.

We've reached the playoffs for 5 years straight now, including losing the Championship Bowl game in OT back in 2005. Our SW is currently a combination of different Single Wing systems and we love it.

Best regards,

2008 Coach Cisar,
I know that I am late for the contest, but I really just wanted to thank you for putting this system together. My story is not really a worst to first, but I felt that is worth sharing.

I have had success in the past coacheing 8-9 yr olds. My first year we won the championship, and last year we finished second. I always have stressed perfecting the basics regardless of the team record. I was a running back in college and noticed that in youth football the OL almost always got neglected. I was searching for blocking rules other than BOB or SAB, both I tried in the past. I was in search of something that would be successful regardless of the talent. I bought your 2005 highlight film and gathered some info on the internet. I had been pondered trying your system for almost 2 years, before I sold out and ran it. This year I decided to sell out and go with it. I purchased your book about a month before the season. I must say it has been a great success.

We finished league play 10-0, outscoring opponents 271-12. In addition, we had 2 non-league games in which we won 49-7 & 50-0. This is truly an amazing testament to the offensive firepower this system can put out . I had every back (3 units deep) score multiple touchdowns this year as well as 5 lineman. Everyone on the team got to carry the ball at least once. Parents were elated with not only the success but the development of there kids. I am currently coaching the league all-star team and this past Saturday, we advanced to the SC state championship to be play next week. We have won our three tournament games by scores of; 26-0, 50-6, & 16-0. Although we had some players on the team who were familiar with the system, about 60% were not. This is with a team that I only had 8 days to prepare for our first all-star game.

The beauty of the system was that it allowed me to incorporate every single player into the team. It gave "minimum play" kids extreme confidence and by the end of the year I really think most of them could have started on other teams. I cut down on hitting this year and incorporated your drills and evaluation games and it was truly scary how much fun the kids had! They always wanted to come to practice even when I tried to give them a break. I look forward to attending one of your clinics next season. Thank you and God bless!

2008 Coach,
I bought your DVD's two years ago, and we've been running your system ever since. Most of the teams in the league have filmed us (6 and 7 year olds) and know exactly what we're going to run, but can't stop us. The team that we beat in the Super Bowl hadn't given up a point all season (12 games). They had more team talent that us, but we blew them out (311 yards of offense to 43 yards). A true credit to your coaching style and system.

Thanks again,
Dan Maloney , Dallas, PA

2008 Hi Coach Cisar,
This is Coach Chad Stowell I have over the last 2 years purchased about every thing you have available. This year using your system we went 12-0-1. And won the Quad County Championship. We got to play at Memorial Stadium (Indiana University). Offensively we averaged 274.7 yds per game and scored 33.3 points per game. Defensively we gave up 30.6 yds per game and 4.4 points per game.

On offense we had 14 different kids with at least 6 rushing attempts. We had 7 kids over 100 yds rushing on the season. 13 kids with an average 4.5 YPC or more per game, 7 of those kids average 8 YPC. 15 different kids scored, at least 1pt and 10 kids scored touchdowns.

Thank you again for all the information, books, DVDs and newsletters as well as the single wing web site. As a testament to everything in your book, this year I had zero trouble with parents, kids or coaches.
Chad Stowell

2008
We had an extremely successful season this year. We went 11-2 and won the League Championship. In addition to having a winning season, we had the happiest group of parents and players that I think anyone could ask for. They have done nothing but praise this group and I don’t think we had a single complaint all season. Kids were getting more playing time than other teams in our league – thanks to the bearcrawler position and others that we rotated every few plays. And the players had a great time. We had other teams that practiced next to us tell their parents that they wanted to be on the “fun team” because they had watched us play deer hunter and some other games at the end of practice. And the coaches were all happy because they knew the expectations and they had clear plans to follow.

I found this program on the internet and after reading the book and watching the DVDs, completely bought into it. The practice methodology and your program completely changed the way I approach coaching any sport. I have been so impressed with what I have read, that I have started my own youth football organization in this area to specifically run this program through all age levels.

The Wildcats finished off a fantastic 11-1-1 season by securing a 22-6 championship victory over the team that gave us our only loss. We completely dominated the last six games by halftime. In the championship game, we even had a spinner 26 go for a 35 yard score.....for our second team! Thanks again coach for all your guidance and for being so accessible to new coaches like myself. I will keep in touch since i need to purchase the O-line video and the gameday organization video to have your complete set. God Bless you and your family.

We just finished our season, we finished 11-0, outscored our opponents 381-68 gave up 100yds of total offense twice in 11 games, I only had offensive stats for our last 4 games but we rushed for 1300yds in our last 4 alone. Your books and DVD's were a huge help, the advice you have in them is awesome and it is battle tested and proven. I attached a picture of our new hardware.

Thanks coach!!

Hey Coach,
We lost an intense playoff game to a team that really outmanned us. Our kids showed so much heart and never quit. I haven't been more proud of them this year. I will say this, after the game our parents applauded us as if we won the game. It was nothing like I've ever seen before considering we just lost the game. None the less, it was an outstanding season. We are Division Champs coming off a 0-9 season a year ago to finish 8-2.The kids played as a TEAM all year and the best part was they all said they would be back next season for another year.. Thanks Coach for a system that truly works and makes it a joy to coach young athletes..

Dave,
We finished our season this year 13-0 after implementing the single wing offense. We played in a very competitive league in Oklahoma City. Last

year, our team went 6-5-1 using a veer formation primary passing offense. We never scored more than 3 TD's per game and frequently were lucky to score once. Several of my kids were playing up last year so we stayed in 4th grade for this year. I ordered your basic single wing tapes, followed your practice advice and drills and after fighting my coaches for 4 weeks to stay with the single wing, we dominated our first scrimmage scoring a dozen times against two quality teams.

Through 13 games, we never trailed once. I even started wanting the ball first(I always deferred) as I knew that we would likely score. In

fact, we only failed to score on our first possession one time after a turnover. We averaged 43 points a game and every eligible player got to carry the ball numerous times. My own son, a lineman, scored two Touchdowns which is two more than I ever scored in my entire football career. We won our championship game 19-0. We played on a college field and scored on 90 and 99 yard drives basically pounding them over and over with 16 Power and 18 sweep with the occasional 32 Wedge Spin and 18 Pass to keep them off balance. I also found that Progression Play calling was a non factor as teams could never stop the base 16 and 18. I did find that as the season progressed, defensive teams were startingto catch up with the single wing. Not completely, of course, but they were starting to recognize the wedge and in the playoffs, team did a good job stopping that play which was almost unstoppable during the season. Of course, by selling out to stop the wedge, 16 and 18 killed them.

We installed the Mouse series(just three running plays and a pass 21 Mouse, 16 Mouse, 47 Mouse reverse and 16 Mouse pass) as a change of pace and a different look. The Mouse plays worked when we ran them but honestly, I didn't need them.

Coach Dave:
This year I am the offensive coordinator for our varsity flyweight football team, which is comprised primarily of 8 year olds with one 9 year old who is playing down because of his weight. I have purchased your book, your dvds on offensive line play and implementing the single wing and have viewed them repeatedly. It was difficult for me to put aside a wishbone offense that I knew well and felt comfortable with in order to implement the single wing. We have practiced now for three weeks. One parent told me that the wedge plays would never work, another parent told me that the snap is too difficult, another parent asked me for my coaching credentials and another parent said that any offensive system that did not have a quarterback directly under center would not work in youth football.

In our first game we scored 4 touchdowns. In fact our first play was a 22 wedge that went 70 yards for a touchdown. We also scored on the 43 reverse, 16 power and 18 sweep. Our blocking back scored all the extra points on the 32 wedge. A fifth touchdown was called back. We also won our next game, against the older and heavier mighty-might kids. We won this game 14 to 0 and a had a ten minute drive that ended the first half (this was also our only possession of the first half). We then got the ball to open the second half and scored on our very first play, a 22 wedge, that went 70 yards straight through the middle of the mighty-might defense. Four different kids ran the ball into the end zone and a total of eight kids ran the ball on Saturday . I saw many happy faces on the parents.

Thanks,

2008 Coach Cisar,
I've meaning to get this to you for some time now. Here's a little story of what using your system has meant to our football team. This will be the 3rd year (and sadly my last year of coaching our youth team as my son moves into Jr High ball next year) our team will run your offense and defense. We owe so much to your program from efficient practice times, no-nonsense warm-ups, playing minimum play kids, and of course the single wing. The boys I coach are from a small Christian school in Amarillo, TX. There are only 30-35 boys in my son's class each year but 20-22 of the boys play football for us each year from this one grade.

I'm just a Dad who thought he knew a little about football. So when it was time for my son to play I volunteered to be the coach. The summer prior to my first year coaching, I started to panic about coming up with an offense. I knew we had about 2 kids who could really play and the rest were average and some below average. I came across your system through searching the web, I followed it to a tee despite the initial resistance from the other coaches and parents. Despite this we went 6-2 primarily using the sainted 6 and we outscored our opponents 111 - 63 with 3 shutouts.

The following year (2007) I had no resistance from the parents or coaches when it came to running the system again. They had seen all boys get a chance to play substantial amounts of time and we had order on the field and at practice compared to some of the chaos of our opponents. As 5th graders we went 8-0 outscoring our opponents 237-47 with 3 shutouts.

I just wanted to thank you for all the fun, success and memories these kids will have the rest of their lives due to youth football, I couldn't have done it without your help and that of our coaches and parents.

Thank You

Thanks for your advice Dave the more I read your book and blogs the more I learn and like many other coaches am grateful for the free info that you put on your site. Again I cannot say enough about your program it really is the best.

In 2007 My brother and I coached the 4th and 5th grade falcons only playing football ourselves through the high school level neither one of us new anything about coaching youth football and neither did any of the other coaches. After hours and days of searching on the internet I finally came across your site and bought your step by step book. It was the best investment I ever made, "thanks" in 2007 we took the 10 and 11 year old falcons to a 8-0 season only allowing one team to score against us ("6 points") our kids had more fun than ever before and we now have parents requesting for there kids to play on our team, thanks for everything.

God bless:

I purchased your system before last season and as O coach of a rookie 2nd grade team we installed the basic offense. we went 10-1 losing our only game in OT on yards gained We beat that same team 2 times later in the season including 19-0 in "Super Bowl" we scored at least 85% of our positions.

Coach Dave,
Just wanted to share with you the success we have been having as a team. I am the Head Coach of the Stafford Tiny Mite(5-7) Raiders in North Stafford, VA. I ordered you coaching package when I became the head coach back in January of this year, and we have been practicing together for three weeks, but just two of them in full pads. We just had our first scrimmage, against a team that was on average 15-20 lbs. bigger than we were. We had installed all of the sainted six. Our very first play, 16 power went for a touchdown. We ended up scoring eight (8) times during the scrimmage. The offense was so deceptive, that even our Parents filming the game were being deceived as to who had the ball. The defensive coach for the other team could only shake his head as we hit him with back to back TD’s from the 43 reverse, to the 31 trap, to the 16 power. Best of all, out of 30 plays we fumbled the snap only once, compared to more than seven fumbles by the other team regarding QB to RB exchange. They ended up scoring twice and our boys and parents were ecstatic to say the least.

Thanks,

Dave,
Still heading in the right direction my man. Had a full fledged practice game last night against a (not so great) team in our league. They have some really good athletes but are not well coached and try and run too sophisticated of an offense. We scored 4 times in the 1st 14 plays from scrimmage, got all 4 extra points, and held their Offense to negative yardage. There 1st two plays got them a 1st down and before they knew it, it was 4th and 20. They went backwards from there. Subbed a TON, scored 1 more in 2nd half to win 34 - 0. 5 different guys scored and I even saw improvement in the wedge. We'll continue to rep it, and be even more particular in our execution of the sainted 6. Jamboree (1/2 game) tomorrow...practice game against a pretty good team next week, then open w/ one of the championship teams from last year (VERY GOOD TEAM). My plan is to run sainted 6 in the jamboree, and have the spinner series in before our opener.

All and all, I'd say (at the very least) we are on track and everyone is having a blast. Still a lot of work to do, but it's obvious (to everyone) that this stuff is da bomb!!!
You are the best man!
Thanks,
Brad

2008 Hey Dave,
I hope you are well.

We went 7-3 last season in my first year of running the Single Wing, one game from the Metro Richmond, Virginia Youth Football League. I can't think you enough for the book, DVDs and support through emails.

Thanks!

2008 Dave,
Wanted to let you know how are first game went. Attended your clinic in Indianapolis this year. Our team won 20-0 against the defending league champion. They were unable to make a single first down (Wide tackle six). Scored with Mesh 18 sweep, 18 sweep pass and 16 power. What a great start!!!

 Thanks again, Joe Shehan

2008 Dave,
Had our 2nd scrimmage of the year and installed the spin and mouse series and crushed the competition for 9 and 10 year olds. Coaches of the other team told me “they had never seen an offense like that”. Thanks for the overall game plan. Most importantly my kids are learning a ton and having loads of fun scoring touchdowns.
Best regards,

2008 Coach Dave,
On Saturday my Chino Hills Bulldog team defeated the Colton Yellowjackets 26-0 using the single wing and the wide tackle 6 defense. We kept the other team to less than 10 yards of total offense and score once on a fumble return. We substituted often and everyone was having fun. Nine different players touched the ball on offense. Four different players scored touchdowns, and a fifth caught an extra point pass.

Coach, your program setup is awesome. The kids are excited about playing, the parents were happy with the play time that reserves were getting, and everybody loves a stifling defense. Next week it's the North San Bernardino Cowboys and we look forward to earning another satisfying win. I followed your scouting suggestions and we now have a good game plan to work with in preparation for next Saturday.

2008
I just want to say thank you for your help this season. I took over a program that has not had a single win in years. We bought your program and installed it as best we could. We where able to knock off last years champs this past weekend in a 18-12 OT
I know the season is just getting started but for a group of kids and a program that has been used to loosing
to finally get over that hump well to say the least they are all excited

Good Luck this season and once again thank you for your help !!!!!

Thank you

Coach - I bought your mega pack back in June - I am a first year (head) coach - last year was an assistant. I coach an 11 year old rookie level team (we have nine kids who have never played) that is tiny - I have one "patched" player (above 115), most of my players go in the 90's with 8 of them less than that. Last year, our head coach went with a full-house backfield formation and man-on blocking. We went 2-6. With the size of our players, it's understandable why. This year, I am using your system. So far, (two scrimmages, one real game) so good. We won 19-0 on Saturday against a much bigger team (6 players patched, with a couple above 150), that went 4-4 last year. I am also using your WT6 - the opposition got -60 (minus 60) yards in total, had 4 fumbles (our BC's are phenomenal), and never crossed the 40 all day (80 yard field).

Our offense is clicking too - first play from scrimmage went for 50 yards (straight 16 power), scored on the second play, never looked back. Most of the Sainted 6 worked - power, reverse, sweep, trap, sweep pass; we're still working wedge, and won't give up on it, but we're giving up over 200 pounds versus most D-lines, so it's a bit understandable that the wedge doesn't move forward as well as I'd like.....

I just want to say THANKS. The parents are all thrilled, the kids love the practices, my assistant coaches have bought in to your system hook line and sinker, and all I hear from everyone associated with us is GREAT JOB!

Within our league, I see a bunch of pro-sets, power-I, and other sets not suited to the size and ability of my kids. I really have a hard time believing that my 82 pound left end is going to move a 150 pound DT 3 yards back on the typical dive play. After last year, I was pretty certain that the sets I am familiar with wouldn't work with the size and level of talent I've got. I did a bunch of internet searching over the spring and summer and thankfully, I found yours. Your system has been a Godsend!

We'll see how we do the rest of the year - I'm more than a little optimistic!

Thanks Again

Happy in Douglas County, Colorado

Coach Cisar,
This is a great system. We had 11 practices before our first game and we stuck to the program. Our team is a mix of returning players and a hand full of new comers. We did our best last year as first year head coach with several dads as assistant coaches. I think we were 3 – 5 last year with the last few games of giving up a lot of points and being unable to move the ball on offense. We had good plays but just weren’t executing them well.

As I began the year I was trying to think what system/offense we were going to run. As time drew nearer and nearer I came across your website and immediately watched videos, read the site and thought this looked like a great system. I ordered it on a Saturday morning and you had it to me Monday when I got home from work. As soon as I started reading the book, I couldn’t put it down. Since then, my wife has become a Youth Football Widow. I have stuck to the program. I brought coaches over to my house to explain the system we were going to run. I showed them the videos. The more I read the book and watched the videos I thought this system was for our team. I had to sell the concept of the offense and defense to a coach or two but I said from the very beginning there is no going back. I now had point of reference to go back to if I had any questions. I started out our practices just as you discussed in your book.

I have had very structured practice plans and they have all been very productive. We had our first game this past week and our team pile dup 374 yards of offense on 34 plays I want to thank you for taking the time to get this published. It is a great system. Ultimately the boys are having a great time with the system and they are all learning from it. I’ll keep you posted on our season,
Craig Frappier

2008 Coach,
Wanted to give you a little update. Just as a reminder, we are the team in MN that has more rules then the IRS tax code. We played 3 games in the past 4 days and are now 4-0.
The last two coaches approached me and said," oh your the team that plays Rugby style ball". Note this does not bother me or deserve comment when they say it. They are all overconfident when starting the game and mad at the end have scored 26, 28, 19, and 26 point and only one team scored against us. Our closest game was 19 - 12 and that was playing with 15 players do to injury and family issues (weddings out of town). Also please note that in the 19 - 12 win we had 5 players playing in the back field that had NEVER played or practiced in those positions. It was also against our biggest rival.

Today's game was against another undefeated team. In the 3rd quarter, we watched the opposing coach and his Defense running to the 1 back as he ran a sweep pattern. As the coach turned to see our 3 back run within 3 feet of him with the ball (32 wedge) he threw his clip-board up in disgust at either his team or our great play (it was a TD). Your book and DVD's have helped me and my assistant coaches teach fundamentals the right way, good sportsmanship and how to have fun playing football. I have had touch downs or big plays from 10 of my 18 players and hope to get everyone involved by season end. Thanks for all the work you have done putting this program together!!

Hi Coach,
Let me first preface my status with some context. I have coached eight seasons at the high school level some years ago but had never coached youth football before this year. So, accepting my first assignment at the youth level included a great deal of trepidation and anxiety as to whether I was going to be able to tone down my rusty coaching skills and knowledge to the level of our kids.... or if I had any coaching skills for that matter. But my uneasiness of coaching a bunch of eleven and twelve year olds was greatly reduced when I came across your Winning Youth Football program, which I purchased this spring.

To provide a bit more background, my team is a second-side team made up of 24 players, most being average players in terms of size, speed and skill. Our C1 team has all the studs and was hand-picked to be the powerhouse. My team have had a record of 0-8, 1-7 and 2-6 in 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively
Moving ahead to our season, I'm happy to report the team is doing much better than first hoped. I have the single wing offense solidly installed and we're running on all cylinders. The only difference I've made was to retain our town's traditional hole numbering system and calling the tailback a quarterback. This meant renaming all the plays, but nothing else. This is not to say we're perfect, but we have just passed the mid-point of our season with a win yesterday afternoon and now have a record of record of 4-1. This is more wins in five games as these same kids have had over the last three years ! Our only loss was against a very strong and fast city team that would have given our B-side team a good game, if not beat them.

After five games, we have found much more success than just a decent record. The first of which is the level of improvement on fundamentals. Following your thoughts on the persistent drumbeat of drills such as angle form tackling, we have seen many of our average players turn into good tacklers, with the overall skill level increasing dramatically. Your sound mind set of focusing on fundamentals is spot on and should be carried out by all youth teams

Another success has been the Wedge. I almost held off on installing this play thinking it didn't really fit or wouldn't be useful. However, the Wedge has become our go-to play. We can run this play at any point in the game and guarantees us at least five to six yards and many times going for much more. Looking at the defense, we have been very solid up the middle due to the success of our bear crawlers.

Coach,

I wanted to let you know how we are doing. I am the head coach of a 8-9 yr old Peewee football team in Louisville KY and we have 27 kids on our team. We are the 'developmental team' in our program. I purchased your materials in mid August just after our preseason scrimmage. We put in the sainted six in two practices in one week, before our first regular season game against the league bully. We looked horrible, most noticeably I did not have our running backs close enough to our center and I also did not have them crouched down so as to disguise to whom the ball was being snapped.. Watching your team's execution in the DVDs, I knew that if I could teach the kids proper alignment and execution we could transform into a good team. Well since that game we have lost only one game! In our last five games we have averaged thirty points and several boys have had opportunities to carry the ball and score touchdowns. Now we have coached/played our way into the final four playoff bracket in our league with a 7-2 record. The only other loss we had was against a team that ended the season at 8-1.Thank you for your guidance. This year has been so much fun!

Dave,

I've got to tell you about the success we've been having so far this year. The coaches, parents and most importantly the kids are having so much fun this year. Last year was my first year as Head Coach of my son's 8-10 team. All of my players were in their first year of playing except for one, my son, who had played for two years on a team that lost all but one game in two seasons. We kept things fun and "kid friendly", last year but we only won one game. We had a former college player as our offensive coordinator who implemented too many pass plays, trick plays that worked once, but we could not sustain any drives.

 I bought the DVDs for Offense, for Practice, and your book Winning Youth Football A Step by Step Plan . I studied and read over the summer and was determined to implement it correctly with my team. I used all of your strategies for communicating with parents. I used your practice plan and implemented the fun evaluation drills and must admit that there were many skeptics among the parents. The kids loved it!!

Long story short, our first official scrimmage was against a bigger and stronger team. We scored four touchdowns and won the game. We gave up a few touchdowns, but knew that we could implement your defensive ideas and perform better. The first game of the season was against a rival. We won the game 30-8.. The year before we lost to this team 24-0. I knew we were on the right track since we ran the 16 Power three times in a row and the third time we scored on a 45 yard run. We actually only needed to use the "sainted six" since we kept scoring so quickly. The next game we faced a tougher opponent that had won their opening game 21-0. We defeated them 29-0. Our defense allowed only one first down and the offense only needed to use six different plays again. The no huddle offense sends defensive coordinators into a dizzying frenzy to try and stop us. The special teams performance is stifling other teams. No big run backs, we've recovered the ball on the bloop kick and we have returned a kick off for a touchdown.

 I feel bad for the kids on other teams when I see coaches making them run laps and feel almost like it's not fair that we have such an advantage over other teams with such a dominating scheme. Dave, I just wanted to tell you that I'm a believer and very thankful to you for all the hard work and integrity you've brought to your work as a teacher and coach. I'm giddy with our success. If you look at our team, our kids are mostly beginners with some kids that the A teams didn't want. They are bursting with joy and having a great time. Parents couldn't be happier and other coaches in the league are beginning to take notice.

Thank you,

Hey Dave,
I've corresponded with you occasionally as we led up to the season and thought I'd give you an update. We've successfully implemented both the offense and defense prescribed in your Winning Youth Football program and have had a blast with the kids and success on the field. We didn't win a game last year in the non-select Pop Warner league we play in Charlottesville, VA to being undefeated (5-0) as we head into the play offs. We've scored 177 pts and given up 18 in the 5 games and that's with us pretty much running between the tackles in the second half of all but one game. The other teams have struggled defending against our offense and one of the head coaches even traveled to a near by high school that runs the single wing to learn how to defend against it. We have recently been seeing teams load the line w/ several lineman over our center and guards with them literally diving to the ground to stop our wedge. It's been frustrating for our lineman and I'm sure you've experienced similar defensive strategies and was curious as to how you responded? Thanks again for the program, it's more than X's and O's and has been a great learning tool for myself and the rest of our coaches. I'll let you know how we ended up at the end of the season.

Best Regards,
Trevor

Hey Dave,

I think you have another testimonial season coming from Allen, TX again. We are 5-1 and averaging 30 points per game. I'll let you know how the season ends up. Also, we are averaging 33% recovery of our onside kicks. Huge game changer.

Coach Cisar,

The season has been EVERYTHING you said it would be.

Our association is very strict in how we run our teams, which is good.
We have player restrictions, position restrictions and play time restrictions.
It was also made easier for me by restrictions on defense (the line was required to play head up

To start the year I had coaches laugh at me as I said I was doing Shot-gun. I had Coaches laugh when I said I would be pulling linemen.
I was very fortunate to find assistant coaches that understood my (our) philosophy and strategy.

Our first scrimmage was met with sarcasm and laughter, but as we explained to our players, it was not about winning but about learning to play the game a couple days later.

Our first game we met a much larger and more talented group of boys. We had 1 stripped player, they had 8! .... Final score was 28 - 0 .... we won.
Our second game was very similar but our third game was the true test.
I our third game we had injuries and missing players (family issues) and were down to 16. Please remember that we have rules in the league about playing time on O and D (no more then 3 quarters on either side of the ball!) plus rules on back field playing time of maximum 2 quarters. We were up 19 - 0 in the first half and ended the game with 14 players and a win of 19 - 12.

Our 4th game brought on a whole new challenge! We faced another undefeated team that was coached by a member of the board on our league.
When we beat him 28 – 0. Bottom line is we ended the year with a perfect 8 - 0 and an average (yes average) score of 24 - 3!!
We had 5 of 8 coaches complain to the league yet we did nothing wrong... the other 3 adjusted and tried to implement our plays.

We play next week in the championship and will let you know how it goes.

2008
Hey Coach,
I coach a Pop Warner team in Jacksonville Florida ages 9,10,11. We are the "B" team. At the beginning of the year, I didn't know what type of offense to run. It got to the point that before the season I just wrote down a bunch of different plays out of multiple formations and was going to go with that. In previous years, that's what I did and we weren't very successful.

I stumbled upon your system by chance. I was looking on the internet and absolutely was hooked the first day I read about it. I ordered the entire package you have an immediately began to install it come August 1. Let me say that it was the best move I could've made! This team last year didn't win a game. This year, we are 5-1 and pending this week's game on our way to the playoffs for the first time in years!! I've copied your system word for word. It's simple, easy and really creates muscle memory for the kids and becomes habit forming. Most of all, the kids love it...Our "homerun" play to this point has been the 22 wedge. We're averaging 30 points per game. We've installed the sainted six, a few "spinner" plays and a few out of the "jet" series. It's amazing how fast these kids picked it up and their execution has been outstanding. I don't want to jinx us for this upcoming game so I won't carry on anymore but I'll keep you posted on how our season progresses. Than ks for sharing your philosophy and success!

Dave,
This is my third year running the single wing, and the first year using your book and system. The last two years, we hid a player at wide flanker to take away a CB, but this year switched to your system with the TB/FB, BB and WB. This has been a great season, both on offense and on defense. Through 6 games, our first string defense has only let up 2 TDs. Last game we had all 16 kids who dressed for our game run with the ball at least once, and we had 7 kids score a TD or PAT. We’re having a great time, and attribute it to our sticking with the concepts in your book. I coached 8/9 last year, 10/11 this year, and might move up to the 12-13 next year, and am thinking I need to expand my playbook a bit to include the Jet Series. We currently run sainted 6, the mouse and spinner, fumble wedge, and a couple pass plays we came up with – one is a throw back screen from the TB sweep right to the left end, and another is a spinner pass to the TB in the flats Last game the wedge went for over 50 yds twice, and we scored on it twice as well. Things are starting to click!
We’ve had zero kick returns against us this season. Kicking deep is suicide. To date we are 4-1-1, and hoping to close out the season next week at 5-1-1.

Hey Coach,
I thought I'd share a funny story regarding the wedge. I had ordered your book but I couldn't visualize how to teach the wedge. I later ordered the DVD on creating a dominating offensive line. This really helped. The next practice I was ready to teach the wedge. We started with the step, shoulder, then arm placement exactly how you instructed. I could tell that the kids were a little than less confident this was something that was going to work. In fact, I could somewhat see it in the other coaches. One kid, a very outspoken 8 year old that plays left guard, says coach "I'm not sure this is going to work". Then my 10 year old experienced center speaks up and says "Coach I have to agree. Other teams don't run this." I could see the that if the experienced kids had little confidence I'd never convince the rookies. My resolution, I decided to let the bigger experienced kid move to a defensive lineman. I told him we were only going to walk it. He would then let me know what he thought.

As you might expect, just walking it was extremely intimidating and he was pushed several yards backwards. I saw his eyes were extremely big after the play. He was in awe. I asked him. Well, will it work? He said, "OH YEAH. IT'LL WORK!" Now, the wedge plays are the kids, parents and coaches favorite plays. Thanks for providing something different and that gives my very young 8-10 team something to compete with against the much older teams. We can't wait till next year. We're competitive now. With 17 of the 20 kids eligible to return next year, we'll be the team everyone dreads to play.

Thanks for the reply to an earlier email. We just had a team that again had fast crashing ends. This time I used ALL the advice. You were right. I think the previous team was jumping our snap count. In the most recent game, we kept them honest with no play and the sweeps.

Thanks,
Coach Greg

Coach Dave,

Just wanted to give you the update that our Charlottesville Non-Select Junior Midget team won the league championship game yesterday to finish the season 7-0. We scored 248 points and gave up 25 with 5 shutouts. We had 9 of our 24 players score touchdowns and an additional several score on point after plays. We now head into the regional single elimination play off system. The system and philosophy you promote has been instrumental in our success. Thanks again for all that you do

Dave,
I purchased your single wing series about a month prior to our 9-10 football draft. I studied the material and found it easy to follow and very well explained. I also called you on 2-3 occasions and you answered my questions in a timely manner, thanks it helped us a bunch.

After the draft I met with my assistant coaches to show them our new offense, they thought it was crazy and would not work. They wanted to run I-formation , wishbone, and trick plays they had spent the whole summer dreaming up, I told them I believed in the system and we were going to give it a try. Our offense needed a jolt, we had the smallest team in the league by far but had some kids that were smart and would do anything I asked.(we had 11 nine yr. olds and 4 ten yr. olds in a league full 10yr.olds) The boys loved the offense because it involved everyone and they also loved the deception of the offense.

 We finally made it to the first game 41-0 win on opening day with a huge crowd, I did everything I could to keep the score down but the defense was so excited about what the offense was doing they got in on the scoring. The tone was set, the parents bought in the assistant coaches bought in and we were off. We finished 13-1 and league champs averaging 35 pts.(could have easily been more), Our games always drew the biggest crowds. All the other coaches asked how they could run the system. This is by far the best system to run if you are coaching youth football. It overwhelms the opposition at the point of attack, creates great deception, and involves all the kids. It was the first year I held good on my promise that everyone would run the ball this year. Thanks a million Dave

The subject line says it all - I am a second year coach who has never played football and who has no previous coaching experience! I had purchased your mega pack in 2007, but was unable to implement the system (politics...). This year, I followed your plan with great success - Our 6 wins were not even close - and our one loss was by 6 points in a very even match up. I used your system with our Mighty Mites (7,8 and 9) year olds. All we ran was the "Sainted 5" - the 18 Sweep Pass was our weak point, but we didn't really need it. We pounded the 16 Power and 18 Sweep - once we had the teams leaning that way, we would run the 43 Reverse mostly for TD's or close to it. Once the other team saw our reverse, we would then open up the 31 Trap and Wedge (we ran a 32 Wedge very successfully)

I believe this is the first winning season for Mighty Mites in our Pop Warner program, which is about 7 years old. Thank you for your effort and passion that has made this possible! You know that the key factor is the practices. We were relentless on the Angle Form and Open Field Tackle drills. In an 8 game season we were scored on 6 times only. We did all of this with a team of 18 kids. Enough said.

Many Thanks,
Jeff Swensen

Dave,
I want to thank you again for your guidance. This year was an unbelievable season for my team. The players learned what true football is all about, and what team work is all about. Today we finished the season at 8 and 3, and competed in the championship game. We placed # 2 over all, and I guarantee you everyone in our Four Rivers Football league respects our teams explosive potential. My team has progressed from an 0 and 7 pushover team, to a team of Championship caliber. And it is all the result of your system. I followed it to a tee from the very beginning. To put plain and simple, IT WORKS!

thanks again Dave, we owe it all to you!

DEAR DAVE,
I HAVE USED YOUR SYSTEM FOR TWO YEARS. LAST YEAR WE WERE 6-1. THIS YEAR WE JOINED A NEW LEAGUE WHICH WAS STRONGER AND ALLOWED HEAVIER KIDS. WE FINISHED THE SEASON UNDEFEATED 10-0 AND WON OUR CONFERENCE. SOME OPPONENTS ASK FOR COPIES OF OUR PLAY BOOK . SOME THINK IT IS THE OLD NOTRE DAME 4 HORSEMAN OFFENSE. OUR TEAM IS THE FIRST 10-0 UNDEFEATED TEAM IN SEBRING YOUTH FOOTBALL HISTORY. THANKS FOR THE SYSTEM.

Hello from the St. Louis area.

• Season of 2006 many of these boys went 1-8 and lost to the same opponent shown in the video 37-7.
• 2007 season (first season running your program) we went 5-5.
• This past season we went 7-2.

As you can see in the clip below, we (team in white) score on our second play in OT on Spin 26 Power – watch the cutback of the 2 back against the 2 LBs.
As you can see our opponent has some pretty big boys (line was all over 130 lbs).
Needless to say our boys and parents are just ecstatic going from a 1-8 team to a 7-2 team in a 2 year span. Your methodologies and UBSW are clearly the key in this turn-around. I am getting emails from the parents saying how the boys can’t wait till next year – neither can I!
Thank you for your efforts and sharing!

2008 Hi Coach,
I want to thank you for sharing your coaching experience and best practices in your book and DVDs. This was my first year to coach a football team and your book was the cornerstone for our offense and defense. The West Valley Tiny Mite Falcons team was a new team of boys 5-7 yrs old that had only one experienced player. We went undefeated, scored lots of touchdowns and our defense was terrific. We received numerous compliments on the way the team played and the boys had a lot of fun. The Deer Hunter game was extremely popular and proved to be a great conditioning activity. We even scored one touchdown with the over-the-head backwards pass that you shared in one of your team highlight videos. I don't know what name you give for that play, but we called it 'knucklehead'. My assistant coaches and some of the dads who saw me teach this the first time thought that only a 'knucklehead' would use that play in a game. A perfect opportunity came in our last game to try it at the goal line and 'knucklehead' worked perfectly. The referees were not sure what had happened initially (I should have warned them about the play) but after a couple of seconds of trying to figure out what had just happened, the referees signaled that a touchdown had been scored. Anyway, thank you and I look forward to continuing to use your system andcoaching tools again next year.

Hello Dave,
Results from 2008
It me again Randell Hubbard from Little ole' Burnside Ky., Coach of the Burnside Generals Pee Wee's. Well I just had to tell you of our success this year. This past Saturday we played in the PCYFL Super bowl championship game. Note: This is the first time in school history in any of our divisions, Pee Wee, Junior or Senior division that a Burnside team has ever played for a championship. To really understand this you have to understand how small our elementary school is. We have half the kid population that the power house teams have. Yet we are competitive and feared by even the bigger elementary schools.

Well this year we made it to the Super Bowl, now we didn't win, but again (what a game!) Southern Pee Wee 19, Burnside Pee Wee 12. We had controlled the game most of the day and would have won it, if our 82 yard touchdown hadn't been called back on a penalty and the winning team scored their winning touchdown with 24 seconds left in the game. Even in the loss, we couldn't be prouder.

We finished the season with 9 wins and 2 losses Now what makes this story so unique is we didn't have a power house of returning players from last years team. We had to totally rebuild our team from ground level. Your games like Deer Hunter, Sumo etc..that the kids play in the first week of practice, which help the Coach put players in their right position were so valuable! These games are awesome, they showed us as Coaches where each kid needs to play and also shows the parents of all the kids where all kids will be playing. With the games, parents understand so much about kid placement, this in return builds a strong backing from all the parents and keeps parents from arguing about where they think their kid should play.

As a Team we averaged over 30 points a game and our defense only gave up a total of 51 points in a total of 11 games. When you look at that with the big picture that is scoring over 330 points and only giving up an average of 4.6 points a game. Now with this offense I'm sure we could have averaged twice that much but I would never run the score up, also all the kids on my team got the chance to run the ball. Last year the Power 16 and 32 wedge fumble ruski were big. This year we ran the Power 16, 18 Sweep, 26 Spinner, 43 and 47 reverse and 22 and 32 Wedge, with our favorite play being the 32 wedge with the 47 reverse fake, it was unstoppable. It was so much fun running these plays with so much backfield motion fakes. Other team coach's would even tell me they had a hard time finding out who had the ball. (To be honest I had a hard time finding the ball at times) I was able to show our little guys 7 basic plays and showed them by adding different fakes and adjustment we had over 25 total plays and they understood them all! Not bad for a team that practices only 2 nights a week compared to the other teams that practiced 3 and 4 nights a week and also started a month earlier than we did, saying it was conditioning.

Well once again I must say thanks to you and you program, as I know none of this would have been possible without it. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Thanks again,
Randell Hubbard

Coach Dave,
I have been an assistant coach for three seasons prior to this season. Well, as the new season approached I became more nervous. I've been a pretty good athlete all my life and I knew the game, which is what probably carried me through the last three years. What I didn't realize is what you actually had to bring to the table when your the head coach. You not only have bring knowledge of the game, But a offensive scheme, a defensive scheme, leadership, and great assistant coaches, and so on and so on! Well I decided to do some research, and I found your web site. I never heard of you or your programs, but I liked what I seen and heard on you web site, So I ordered it about a month before the season started. I studied it for the first three weeks ,I got my assistants to watch as well. I decided to run with it. I installed the play's just like you said, the defense , everything. Needless to say we had a banner year 9-1 and we avenged our loss in the championship game and became the 7yr. old champs. We ended up having 16 players on our team. Our patch player weight was 80lbs I believe you call them stripe players, We had none on our team. Most of my kids were between 45 and 60lbs, quite a small group. To make my point we were the smallest team in our league. Now as we start installing the offence I notice a little unrest in some of my parents. I can hear in the backround, Why does he keep running the same play over and over, or this offence is never going to work. Well after only getting to practice two weeks prior to our first game, We go out and destroy our first opponent 47-6 and we only went in with 4 plays 16 power, 22 wedge , 31 trap and 18 sweep. The idea of perfecting each play before you move on to the next one is so elementary, yet no one does it. Everyone thinks you need to have 25 plays and it's just not true. To put things in prospective, we ran the sainted six all year long and were unstoppable we averaged 35 point a game, and the defense only allowed 47 points all year. In the championship game alone I ran 16 power 18 times! Thank you , you have a great product and usually I would pass your information on to other coaches, but that wouldn't be very smart now would it! Thanks again!

Sincerly ,
Coach Roman Barages

Lost 32 - 12 -- (makes us 9 - 1). Our team turned over two critical 4th downs by literally 3 inches. Very tough on our team to be behind at halftime for the first time this season. They had a great game plan. My hat is off to their team, they whipped us good.

Overall, it was an incredible season using your system--both offense and defense. We went 9 - 0 before losing the championship, and had beat two teams who later won championships. The team above, we beat earlier 22 - 18, and in one of our non-league games we beat a team 20 - 18 who won a championship in another league last Saturday.

Love the system, talk to you next season!

Dave-I just wanted to drop you a quick note and give you a recap of our 2008 season. Our Tiny-Mite team (6-7 yr olds) finished up a couple weeks ago. We implemented your program to a T and ended our season 6 - 0 - 2 . We outscored the opposition 124 - 18. My coaches and I actually joked with each other throughout the season - we were beating teams 24 - 0 and 18 - 0 and joked that either Cisar's program just wasn't working or we didn't implement it properly because we weren't putting up 40 and 50 points a game !! (The real reason was more a result of a running clock with two 22 minute half's) I'm a believer in your Single Wing Offense and plan to utilize it for years to come.

Thanks for everything.

In 2006 my team (8,9,10) went 4-3-2. I bought your book and DVDs and started implementing your practice strategies and coaching ideologies. In 2006, I made many of the mistakes you talked about most losing coaches make. In 2007, with a roster of 29 players (18 rookie player's), we improved to 7-2. Despite narrowly missing the playoffs, we were the third highest scoring team in the division.
In 2008 (10, 11, 12), we finished the regular season with a 7-0 record (Undefeated league Champions). We beat the defending league champs 40-6 and won the League Championship game against undefeated Hacienda Heights 40-0. We lost this past week in the first round of the playoffs, but I can't express how excited I am with my teams overall improvement. Thanks to your system, I know 2009 is going to be a 10-0 season!!

2008 Dear Dave,

I am writing like many others before me to thank you for sharing your insights on coaching youth football. I feel lucky that I found your valuable resources.

As far as football knowledge and experience, I felt I was prepared to coach 5th and 6th graders. I was an All State football player and earned a scholarship and played at a division one school. I was lucky to have been brought up in fundamentally sound football programs, but you showed me clearly how best to teach the skills of blocking and tackling to brand new football players. Your descriptions and drills for instilling the basics of blocking and tackling in my players were invaluable.

I would have made the mistake of wasting practice time had I not used your materials. Your materials are like the teacher telling you the areas on which you will be tested . Following your advice, we focused on the important aspects of the game and let the other teams around us get really good at warm ups and sprints.

I am going to suggest to the league director that your book at the least becomes required reading for any coaches in the league. I might not be so forthcoming about your products if my son was going to be in the league again! I would hate to even the playing field too much! I almost did feel guilty knowing how much better our boys were prepared that the other teams we faced. I had parents on other teams come up to me and share with me how their teams were practiced and how discouraged their boys were. I feel I owe it to the future players in the league to enlighten their future coaches.

I was fortunate enough to coach with another great dad who bought in to your system as much as I did. We joked about the gospel of "Dave" and often said, "that's how Dave does it."

Unfortunately, our league is restrictive in formations and somewhat in the plays we could run, so I can't share about our wildly successful single wing offense. That being said, we were able to adapt the sainted six to our "I" formation. All anyone could talk about was the "wedge". Teams couldn't stop it. We also have to run a 4-4 defense with non-select players, but again we adopted the bear crawlers and it allowed us to get some players in the game that might otherwise not have played as much. Our first team defense only gave up 4 TD's all year in our 7 games and those were on big plays by the two biggest and fastest backs in the league. Other than those breakdowns even those athletically gifted backs never gained more than a few yards the whole game. Our kids could tackle, because you helped us show them how to tackle!
I could go on and on about how much I loved your program, but thanks again for your contribution to the game of football. Attached a post game picture of the proud Dads/Coaches and their sons/players with the championship trophy. It was a night that we all will remember forever!

Sincerely,

Coach Dave
We just recently finished our season last Saturday due to the fact that our team made it to our league Superbowl! We play a 9 game regular season schedule and averaged 22.4 ppg on offense, allowed 8.4 ppg on defense with 4 shutoutsThis is the most success we have had to date as a team and did so with just 17 boys (all age 7) total. Out of our 17 players, 12 had never >played football before this year, 3 boys had one year of football experience and the remaining two boys had three years of experience. Our overall record this year was 8-3 and two of our three losses came against the same team and eventual Superbowl champions I mentioned previously. In fact, this team has been playing together since they were 5 years old, have never lost a regular or post season game to date in the past three years. Rarely does anyone score on this team and in fact had only given up 22 points all year and 16 of those points were to us.

We definitely have some work to do but overall I am very proud of this team and we certainly have a strong foundation on which to build for next season!

Coach Dave,
I could not wait any longer to tell our story. I coach a 9 year old division II team in Marietta Ga. Last season I was introduced to your system from my local single wing mentor Coach Bobby Williams. We purchased the system and DVD's in an attempt to implement the system from the start.

Being new to the system, I learned what not to do. I thought I could make a few changes to better accommodate my players. Big mistake!In the off season I went back to the drawing board and was utterly amazed at all the information I missed the first time I read the book. I committed to following the system to the last detail including our practice plan and making sure we did not get off track from the details. I met with all my assistant coaches and made sure they all understood what our mission was and thoroughly went through the system with them.

This season has been awesome. Our current record is 9-1. The team that beat us in the regular season fell to us in the play offs 18-7. End result... We are playing in the Superbowl tomorrow!!! The team we play in the Superbowl we defeated in the regular season so our spirits are high. The only issue we have encountered running the single wing would be some early whistle blows from the officials. Reason they gave me was they did not know who had the football! We have learned to live with that as a compliment to our misdirection.

I found out the hard way with our previous season that your system is truly a turn key approach to coaching youth football. Part of me wants to preach it to all our coaches and part of me wants to keep it a secret. But you can't keep this a secret. I have found myself, like Coach Williams, encouraging other coaches to take our same approach.

I would advise any coach considering the winning youth football system to take the time to do it right from the beginning. When you think you understand the book... Read it again. Everything you need to be successful is there. We expect to win our Superbowl tomorrow but either way you can rest assured we are doing the same thing next season, even better!!!.

Thanks for your system and continued support that you provide.

Cheers,
Coach Rick Hall

I'm a first year offensive coach!! I've run defense before but never an offence. Our league has 10 teams in it all teams have 18-19 kids ages 7-10 yr old. we get new kids every year we do not get to retain any kids we went 7-4 on the season being beaten twice by a team that went 10-0 and both of those games were only by 2 & 6 points (my bad not the boys) we had no boys even close to the weight max in our league (121lbs fully dressed) and only 4 10 yr olds. we had 7 different boy score touchdowns this year the team that went 10-0 only had 3 boys score we only ran the sainted six!! Thank you Dave for this great product!!
God Bless!!

Coach Dave,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the DVD’s. This was my first year coaching and I was the head coach. I roped my brother into being my defensive coach. We coached 7, 8 and 9 year olds. We both watched the tapes and used 99% of what you recommended. Our results were awesome. We went 7-2 and won the Queen City (Charlotte NC) Classic Bowl game. The kids had a blast and the parents were thrilled that we had a well structured way of teaching the kids.
Thanks so much and I'll try and get out to one of your clinic’s next year!

Mr. Cisar,
Before I go into what happened this year with my team, I want to thank you for all your material and help that you've given me this year. Its was the best investment that I've made since I started coaching and I want to thank you for all you've put in to help a coach like me on how to organize and manage a youth football program.

Well, this year was a good one to remember. We made it to our division championship game. As this was my second year being the head coach, we only had 5 returning players from the previous year. This year I felt that I was better prepared than I was last year. I went into last year with no real plan on what type of offense or defense that I wanted to run. Didn't d o much evaluating once I got the kids on my team and also was coaching on the fly. Never had a clear-cut plan on what I wanted to accomplish or what goals I wanted to set. So I went on a search to find something to help me become a better coach and also a clear plan on what I wanted to do. I ran across your material online and got your book. I read it about 30 or 40 times before I even had a team roster or before the registration even began.

My team size this season was just 16 players, including my 5 returning players, 1 player with one-year experience in another age group and 10 players that never played football before. I figured it would be a challenge to be able to be real competitive but I was positive that I could get them to be a good team. I went strictly by the book. The first three practices we had, most of the parents could not believe what we were doing or even understood the concept. I know some thought that I was crazy and that what I was doing wasn't going to work. We went into our first game and won 27-0. By the second half, I had my starting backfield on the sidelines and gave my back-ups a lot of reps. But by the time the regular season was over, we had a

5-3 record, we had about 3 games that defense didn't let the other team past the 50 yard line.

When I had my end of the season party, a lot of parents and players wanted to know if I was coming back to coach this team again or was I moving up to the older division.. All the parents have been asking me through emails if I was going to return or not. But I'm very proud of what I have done and what the team has done. I think not only have I influenced them on how great a sport this is, they've also helped me grow into a better coach also.

Again Dave, I want to thank you for everything that you've done to help me turn around this team and also for helping me become a=2 0better coach. Without all your help and knowledge, I would still be that guy from last year that wasn't organized, never had a plan and never set a goal. This year, I was able to do all three things and it's all because of you.

2008 Dave,
My name is Kevin Skibinski and I have been head coaching football for 7 years now. I wanted to send you this letter mainly to tell you that your coaching information (dvd's & books) have helped me become a much better coach by giving me the tools needed to help take my football teams to that next performance level. In 2007, i used your offense for the very first time because I felt change was needed plus I was looking for that "edge" to help make our teams stronger and smarter above the rest. I bought all your books and videos and watched them over and over until I had a firm understanding of everything. We had a good year in 2007 by making it to the 2nd round of the playoffs with a few losses. Not bad considering we implemented an entire new offense that we knew nothing about. Well, in 2008 we decided to run that offense again but I purchased more of your items such as the Defense DVD and the Offensive Line DVD. I implemented more drills & techniques including the entire WT-6 defense and all I can tell you is that it truly made a difference this year and our performance as a team improved significantly. Our Team ended up 11-0 with 9 shutouts and won our weight division (97# 10 yr olds) Superbowl title. The superbowl game went into overtime and it came down to literally the last play. It was 4th down and we were 1.5 yds from the goal line. They had the right side (our right) stacked with defenders knowing we run the unbalanced line so we decided to run the "orange rocket 31 trap" and it worked! I have never had a season end up like it did this year but I can honestly say that your information you provide made a huge difference in the success of our team. From adding the rocket series to using the stunts from your WT-6 Defense, we were extremely successful but more importantly, we had a ton of fun doing it. I had several parents comment that they felt their kids "learned" much more this year and were impressed with the techniques and knowledge our coaching team had. I owe you a big thanks for all the work you have done in putting the "system" together and sharing it with other coaches. It made a difference!

Sincerely,
Kevin Skibinski

Dave:
Like the other coaches behind me, we were 4-6 last year and totally clueless on how to coach a youth football team. We turned to your program during the winter off season. What a difference a year makes, this year our record was 12-1, top defense in the league, 3rd in points scored, but more importantly, NYFL State Champions!!! We beat a faster, bigger team today. We are moving up next year with our team to a 9-11 age bracket. Were looking forward to the 4 4 defense.

Take care,

Coach Mike Weisenberg

2008 Dave,
Won the championship tonight. Finished season 11-0. Thanks for your help again

this year. Lots of happy kids and parents
Our 7 and 8 year olds also champs. Their coach was my asst last year and ran your Single Wing and wt six defense. Not an athletic team won on ball control. Finished 7-3-1 and won it all. I'll see if he has some usable stats for you. What you do is a blessing for all of us in the Tiger org. Also notified today that I have been named coach of the year for Aiken County little league football over 600 kids. Thanks for your efforts to make little league football fun and rewarding for all of us.

Coach, we had a very good season it was my first year to coach, at any level, and we relied completely on your system. Your system proved to be the difference. We made the play offs but were eliminated by another team using your system, and who won the league championship. The other team ran your single wing offense and were very successful with it. They also used your wide tackle six defense. I want to express how much I appreciate you being there all season to help with questions that came up. Your system and your email consultation were priceless for me this year and made the year a very positive experience.

I thank you sincerely and I hope you and you family have a happy thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

2008 Dave,
Just wanted to let you know that your assistance was invaluable in helping us to a 7-0 record and City Champions in my first year of coaching Middle School (7th and 8th graders)...after coaching HS varsity football for 34 years!

I took a LOT of information from your wonderful book and used it to conduct our practices and plan for our games. We ran a hybrid Wing T and Single Wing Offense with the Spin Series being the base attack. Your ideas on splits; alignments and blocking rules were also the basis for our offense. And, even after trying a 4-4 defense, we went to your Wide tackle 6 and controlled everyone we played! YOU did a great job coaching our team in absentia!!!

Thanks again for all your help! God really blessed us with talented kids who listened and worked hard. Several members of our coaching staff bought your book and used it extensively. It is nice to have Christian Brothers in the coaching profession.

2008 Dave,
This is Coach Paul White in El Paso. I coached my son's 10-11 year team this year as a first time football coach. We had a great season. My son and several other players on my team were on a team last year that had a lot of talent but horrible coaching. My son came in a little late and was not in the "in" group and there for was not even considered for a position. He was basically a tackling dummy all season with multiple promises to play in Saturday games and he never did. After that season, I started searching for just "football plays" on the internet when I came across your website...and the rest is history!. We hit the fall season full steam going 6-2 and making the playoffs our first year. We beat the team my son was on last year in a blow out fashion. 24-0 in the first quarter!! Final score was 44-22 I think We won our first playoff game only loosing the next one to the eventual "Little Bowl" champs. At the "Little Bowl" game, our team was called down from the stands to accept the "sportsmanship" award that the city awards every year to one team. This is for all age groups 8-9,10-11 and 12-13. About 100 teams. This includes the Coaches, players and parents. What an honor our first year.

We entered a local tournament to give the kids some more games before calling quits and won our two first games 30-6 and 30-0. We lost the last game 22-12 to the team that lost in the "Little Bowl" and took 2nd place in the city. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!

Hi Coach,
Can not thank you enough for putting together this system. Not only did it turn around our organization, it probably saved it. I have coached in our league in the southern tier of New York for the last 6 years. We always did so-so around fifty percent winning percentage for the teams I have coached. Last year I purchased the your program around October being very frustrated on both sides of the ball, other teams turning games into horse races, the ones where they simply sweep or reverse us to death. Not very fun football. The offense struggled putting just 27 points up in 8 games. I mentioned when I purchased the program because, as soon as I got my hands on it I dove in.

In June of this year we all got together to talk about the program again and it was decided that every age group would run this system. We started practice on July 28 for three nights a week until school started and basically followed the plan by the book, throwing in a couple things here and there that may benefit us( a drill, a game etc.).

It was just like you said it would be with some grumbling parents, the conditioning, this can't work etc. That was until the first game in a 35-14 point blowout that could have easily been 50-0. My team ended up 6-2, losing to the eventual champs in the regular season and our last game in a heartbreaker to make it to the super bowl. We were down 20-14, they had stopped our 16 power. We drove down the entire field on 22 wedge. The defensive end finally gave up his responsibilities after about 60 yards. I ran one more 22 wedge, came back with a buck wedge and fumbled what would have been one of the easiest touchdown's of the year. No regrets. Great game. Great season. Great Program. We would not have even been in this game if it wasn't for your hard work and dedication.

Our defense gave up fourteen touchdowns, eight of which were in the two loses. Much improved. Our offense scored 25 touchdowns, ran for over 2,000 yards and averaged 8.2 yards per carry. Unbelievably compared to previous years. The 7-8 year olds went 4-4 after not winning a game last year. Some would say yeah 4-4, but the coaches are even more excited now about next year. I watched this team improving each and every week.

2008 Coach,
I want to personally thank you as you have been our silent partner for everything including your system, offense, defense, practice plans and your help via e-mail throughout the season . Well you can add another banner to your wall of organizations you have helped.

5-6 D League 8-1 (unoffcially-1st yr.)

7-9 Division A Champions

10-11 SemiFinalist (Undefeated Regular Season)

12-13 Semifinalist (kids were 0-9 under another coach to :30 seconds from Championship and 10-2)

FYI - We hang our hat on DOING WHAT WE DO. It's up to the opp. to try & stop us. We tell our kids we about execution.

2008 Dave,
Just wanted to pass along some photos of our Super Bowl victory this year. I bought your DVD's two years ago, and we've been running your system ever since. Most of the teams in the league have filmed us (6 and 7 year olds) and know exactly what we're going to run, but can't stop us. The team that we beat in the Super Bowl hadn't given up a point all season (12 games). They had more team talent that us, but we blew them out. A true credit to your coaching style and system. We're in northeastern PA (Dallas, PA) where football is extremely competitive.

Thanks again,

Hey Dave,I attended your May 2008 seminar in Washington State and spoke with you after the Seattle clinic mentioning that I had run a single wing for four years in Langley, BC, Canada before adopting your system last year. This season we are undefeated 21-0; 10-0 in league play, 3-0 in the play-offs and were division champs.

Just thought I would pass this along. Thanks again

Hey Dave,
Well we did it again! The Broncos went 9-0 winning our Bowl Championship game at the end of the year. We ran the sainted 6 with a couple add-ons. Also, we ran your 6-2 defense and gave up 2 scores all year.

This is my second year running your Single Wing and 6-2. We were undefeated both years and won the league with 2 different teams in 2 different leagues. Thanks again for being such a great resource.

Coach Dave,
Greetings from the UK. We have a tradition in Bristol of producing good, hard nosed American football teams and have achieved success at a senior level over the past 10 years. Our current youth program was started off in 2004 and our then OC Coach Damon Kirby introduced the single wing after seeing footage and researching the system extensively. Our season starts in April and runs thru til Sept, but we train all year round to maintain that interest the players are age 16-19.

We've reached the playoffs for 5 years straight now, including losing the Bowl game in OT back in 2005. Our SW is currently a combination of different Single Wing systems and we love it. </
