Coaching Youth Football
by Jack Reed

Absolutely the best youth football information on the planet! I strongly encourage every youth coach out there to not only hit this web site, but also order Coach Reed's three books: Coaching Youth Football, Coaching Youth Football; Defense, and Football Clock Management. For about $29.95 a book, you can save your season for less than the price of a tackling dummy!

UPDATE! Coach Reed has released three new books for youth football. If you order Coaching Youth Football, 3rd edition check the back cover where Coach Wade has been quoted! It's nice to be famous. Coach Reed has also expanded on the Gap-8 defense in another book, The Gap-Air-Mirror Defense for Youth Football, and carefully detailed his version of the Single Wing offense in Single Wing Offense for Youth Football!

Coach Hugh Wyatt's Web Site

This is a great site for a number of reasons. To start with, Coach Wyatt is a primary source of information on the incredible Double Wing offense. Second, as an amateur historian, Coach Wyatt has numerous well-written and informative articles on the history of our great sport. Third, the site is also the home page of Coach Wyatt's "News You Can Use". Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, sometimes caustic, his "News" gives you a view of the world as seen through the eyes of a football coach. Every football coach should visit this site.

Play Manager

Every coach needs a professional-looking playbook. I discovered in 1999 as the youngest head coach in the KFL that the parents took me a lot more seriously if I had something sharp-looking to hand them with my offense and defense on it. I wish Play Manager had been around then.

Speed Development and Football Coaching with Jack Gregory

Jack Gregory is not only the foremost promoter and developer of the Double Wing Symposium, he's also the inventer of the BBB Playbook and a certified youth athletics developer. His site offers a number of articles on speed development and functional strength training for young people, as well as information about his version of the Double Wing Offense.

BW Software

I'm a big believer in keeping things as simple as possible. B-W Software’s “Playmaker Pro” is a simple, easy-to-use playbook designing software that makes a professional-looking playbook without a lot of bells and whistles. It’s the software that I’ve used for almost a decade now to produce the graphics used in my books and videos, and here on Football for Youth!.

Best of all: there’s a version for Macintosh and for PCs!
