Coach ,
A good defensive staff is going to know you and your offense inside and out.
They usually will not leave any stone unturned, so when something different than what they normally see from offenses shows up on film, you can bet they will spend extra time analyzing it, planning against it, and devoting meeting time and practice time to prepare for it.
This is exactly what you want!
As you make final preparations for your season, having a method of stealing time weekly from the opponent can be of great benefit to you and your offense.
The key is that doing something like this is CHEAP for You BUT EXPENSIVE for them.
Why is it expensive to them? Because they spend time on this and it takes time away from preparing for what your offense really does.
State champion coach Thad Wells, now on the UVA staff, has a method and strategy for you to do exactly that.
It doesn’t matter if you are a spread, wing-t, pro style, etc. You can implement this package and force the opponent to spend time on it.
5 minutes for an install along with throwing in one rep per day keeps it “cheap.” He shares his entire basic P.I.T.A. Package here (click on image for video):
If you want to take it to the next level, Coach Wells also has an Advanced P.I.T.A. Package which includes shifts, motions, use in special teams, his dynamic huddle, and practice and much more.
The idea of this is to do something simple that can benefit your regular offense.
If you are a DC and you are still reading, he also shares the details of how to defend these types of packages.
I love these types of things and have utilized different packages to just get something on film. Don’t be afraid to get it on film in your scrimmages and share that film or allow scouts to see it. Practice and planning time for the opponent is even more valuable at the beginning of the season.
Good luck with your preparation and have fun!
Always be growing!
