" 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.

2010 Dave, My name is Fred Miller and I am a coach for Trevian Youth Football in the Greater Chicago area. I can’t begin to express how much your system Winning Youth Football helped my team and me personally as a coach these last two years. I recently retired from a very successful 13 year career as a player in the NFL and thought my own experience was all I needed to be successful at youth football..."Wrong!" Our first season wasn't very pretty. We lost all of our games and didn't score one touchdown. Players and parents were so frustrated that a quarter of the team didn't return for the next season.

After my first season, I purchased Winning Youth Football--A Step by Step Plan and what a difference it made. My team went from the "outhouse to the penthouse" in one season. With the same players, we went from a no win season to two undefeated seasons in regular season play. We also competed in two Chicagoland Championships and split two national championship games while retaining 95% of my players. I'm most proud of the 95% retention rate, although undefeated seasons felt pretty good too!

I believe we started winning games and retained so many players because I followed the book step by step. I swallowed some pride and allowed your system to teach me about youth football. There wasn't a day in my second season that I didn't refer to your book or DVDs. Thanks for helping a ex-NFL player learn a thing or two about football.

Sincerely,
Fred Miller

2010 Dave, I purchased your Winning youth football book and was very impressed. Last year our team record was 2-7. This year our team was 6-3 with 17 first year players out of 24. We made it to the playoffs. Where we beat the first two teams. But lost in the semi finals to a team that was stacked. I have learned a lot from your book and so have my coaches. I am moving up to PeeWee next and can't wait to do it all over again.

Thank You Dave!

Hello Coach Dave and greetings from Missouri, Thank you for providing a teachable, sensible, developmental, and comprehensive curriculum for youth football players and coaches. The Scorpions were fortunate to repeat as league champions this year using your WYF system. We were a 9-10 y/o, 100 lb. RB limit, non-select team with 1 striped player at LG, (easily the smallest in our 14 team league in Central Missouri). Spinner 32 wedge and Flip 15/17 were our home run plays and the kids ran Rocket/Lazer plays very well. The wrist bands, "No" play, and special teams recommendations worked better than expected. The WT-6 Defense was impenetrable thanks to our rotating MP bear crawlers (best recommendation ever!). We are 16-1 since starting the WYF system and beat another single wing team in the Super Bowl. We are looking forward to more clinics, evolving our passing game, and getting the 303 DVD. Keep up the good work,

Larry Landwehr (on behalf of the)

2010- Hi Dave. I found your system 3 years ago while an assistant for a 7-8 year old team. I did manage to get the Wide Tackle Six in for the last few weeks and we only gave up 3 touchdowns for the rest of that season, we still had a losing season though without your offense.

This year as head coach of our 7-8 year olds I coached the line and the backs. I also coordinated both sides of the ball. I was able to do both as I had great assistants that helped me spot and were additional sets of eyes and ears for me. 95% of our offense was the Sainted 6 while 95% of our defense was out of the Wide Tackle Six. We out scored our opponents 241 to 25 in our 10 - 0 season. We ended with a 32 - 0 win for our Championship Title. Believe me when I say we could have easily scored over 40 points per game, but didn't try to run it up and we let everybody who was eligible carry the ball once we were up by a few touchdowns! We literally gave up only one legit touchdown! Far from giving up 2 to 4 scores each game from the year prior.

Concentrating on your system and practicing the fundamentals to achieve quality instead of quantity made the difference for us. When it was all over I got more "thank yous" from parents and grand parents for teaching their kids the right way. You and your system made it a lot easier for us to be successful and for us to have a lot more fun this season. Thanks Dave!

2010 Hi Coach Dave – Last year was my team’s first year playing tackle football on a 10 year old team. I pride myself on being prepared and going into last year’s season was no different. After viewing close to 100 internet sites all with claims on how their solution will make your team better, I decided on your Wining Youth Football product. Of course I knew if I was going to go down this path I needed to be “all in” so one DVD wasn’t going to do it for me so we bought everything you sell. As such, I have several comments:

1. Overall – What a great product and great system. It really is the best!
2. The content dealing with player assessment and assignment is particularly outstanding and having the right kids in the right positions made a huge difference for us
3. I love the single wing, the 6-2 defense, and the special teams systems.
4. The player contract was perfect and helped us throughout the season
5. The practice plans and drills were amazing (fun, challenging, and help us coaches out)

Our team went 5-3 which I consider to be very good as 2 of the losses came to teams which have already one season under their belt and were on their second or third season.

2010 - Coach my name is Jim Sansone. I have attended your seminars in the past and own most of your products.Two teams I coach inare playing 5th grade AYF and Midget Divisions- age 13-15. My team is aSingle Wing team that is fortunate enough to practice and play at the historic Yale University football facilities in New Haven Ct. We finished our season last week a combined 19-0. We won two east coast tournaments over championship competitors with ease. We run your Offense and special teams schemes and we are avid subscribers to the HUDL software product, which we use for every practice, scrimmage and game. Thanks for all your help and guidance our players are playing at a level off the charts.

2010 - I coach an 8& 9 yr old indoor 8 man team this year. As you know I am a student of the Winning Youth Football System. We had 9 first yr players and 9 with 1 yr experience, we conducted 3 practices a week, 2 at the indoor facility and then 1 outdoors with no pads. We made sure the kids learned both sides of the ball even though they could only play one way for each game. Most importantly he taught his kids the meaning of the game, not only from and X's and O's standpoint butalso sportsmanship, courage, andbelieving in ones self and the team as a whole.

I was able to watch from game one where he had 1 kid making all the tackles to the championship game 10 weeks laterwhere all thekids were making the tackles. We went undefeated and won the championship, the kids learned to be graceful winners and also learned how to step up in big games when things weren't going their way. Including being behind early in the championship game!!

2010 Coach Dave- This season was my second season coaching and the second using "Winning Youth Football" in the Cherokee Youth Football Association in Cherokee County, Georgia My coaching staff stuck to your program about as much as a group of former high school and college players or otherwise know-it-alls could possibly be expected. Using your Single Wing and the wide tackle six both years with very few if any deviations, we went 5-3 and made the playoffs in our first season and 11-0 and division champions our second season. This is age 6-7 youth football.

We had 9 districts represented and a total of sixteen teams in our division. Each district would field one, two, or even three teams in their respective district depending on the player turnout. Creekview fielded three teams and thus I had to draft players against two other coaches. Needless to say, there is no stacked or select teams in our league. Considering this, having a system that relies on consistency and repetitionand not talent was big factor to our success.

Your Single Wing was an easy and effective way put our offense in position for high margin of success. We were able to move the ball on any skill level and defensive scheme. Without surprise, we were most productive the more basic we kept it. Anytime we tried to add a wrinkle here and there it just deviated from the basic plan and was generally ineffective. We had probably ten different players have the opportunity to run the ball. The wide tackle six was more than effective and our defense gave up the fewest points in the division with a total of seven shut-outs.

I think that the best compliment I can give your system is that it was a true blueprint for success. If everyone believes in it and adheres to the core concepts upon which it is built, the sky is the limit. Thanks again for giving eager coaches with outdated knowledge, busy schedules, and limited resources an affordable, understandable, and most of all successful plan of action to help young kids today learn to love the great game of football.

Most Sincerely-Will Hasty

2010 Coach Dave- I coach the north Dearborn SDYAA.C team Vikings. After 3 year of going out in the first round off the playoff and not having a winning season in the last 3 years, we won the Super Bowl hada record of 14 wins and 1 loss. Thank you for your system. We used all of your system, offense, defense and special teams , it works. We allowed only 6 points all season on defense and scored and 200 points on offense.

2010 Dave Cisar, We had another fantastic year using the Winning Youth Football Single Wing System. This was our 4th consecutive year implementing your system and if you recall we were at one time the youngest group to use your system starting at 5-7 clinic back in 2006. This year's team was an 8-10 team (115 lbs). We just came off an undefeated regular season last year at Federal Division IV (non-select) averaging 40 points a game and only gave up 2 TD's.We were moved up two divisions to American Division II (Select). Still maintaining non-select status, we did extremely well dominating teams that selected the best 18 out of 60-100 kids. We had 26 non-select and 8 of which had absolutelyno experience. Our average kid weighs about 85 lbs. Competing against very athletic, Baltimore city teams, where the average kid was tipping the scales between 105-115 lbs. Several new parents told me in the beginning that they feared forour boys' safety. We had no size andabsolutely no speed. We defeated the two time and two years undefeatedCentennial Division III Champions out of Baltimore38-0. The referees couldn't believe it. Everyone loved watched us playing these much more talented, biggerand athletic teams and putting it on them.

Our secret was your system as well as working the boys smart and getting them prepared mentally with Character Development. One specific National Program out of Germantown, MD laughed at us before the scrimmage and asked us if we were sure that we want to play. They were big, fast, athletic and had aswagger. Their parents mocked our kids by saying "we plan to have Ravens for lunch." By half-time their parents want to kill their head coach. He kept screaming "It's just a scrimmage, it's just a scrimmage." WeDOMINATED them all afternoon.

This is our 4th year in a row that we are at 100% retention of our kids, a record in our program and league. Every week as you did we sent an email every Monday with the Character Development of the week with an excerpt from the book. We asked the parents to review each nightduring theweek and the top 4 kids in each practice that exemplified these Character Traits would get our famous "Foundation Rock" with the Character Trait of the week written on the Rock.

This year was by far our best using the Winning YouthFootball system. It worked very well every year since we started with you and even in the new springindoor (8 Man football) arena league that I helped found this year. We averaged in indoor 40 points a game and one game we hit 60 points. We were the 1st Championsof theYouth ArenaBowl at the Baltimore 1st MarinerBaltimore Arena 42-6 against a much bigger and faster team. I also took over a failing older team after 3 weeks of spring ball I never saw or coached any ofthese boysbefore, we averaged well over 35 points a game and 5 shutouts. We took that team to an undefeated regular indoorseason finishing 7-0. Your Single Wing system works whether it's outdoor or indoor, 11 Man or 8 Man football.The philosophy works, the practice methodology works, the plays works. Thanks again for your help throughout the years for taking all my calls and giving me personal attention when you had a million other things to do in your life. You've been a good mentor and friend. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Coach, I attended your spring coaching clinic at the hotel near DIA in Denver. This was my second season running your single wing offense. Last season, we played well and finished the season 5-3. Many of the kids I had on the team were on a team that finished 0-8 the previous season. This year it all came together. We dominated and finished the season 10-0 in the 6th grade division and won the Super Bowl 26-7.

Thanks for everything.

2010 Dave, I run a Single Wing offense that's a version of yours. I bought your system 3 years ago. My team ( Chili Lions ) from Rochester NY is in the JR Midget division at the super bowl. Last year you were in our area to mentor one of our rivals the Ogden Bears. Love what your doing. Keep up the good work. Guys like you are what makes Pop Warner football so great!

2010 Dave, 2010 Marked the final fall season for the Topeka Wolverines. For a team of everyday kids that just loved the game of football, I can't imagine a more fitting end for this group. We had the perfect storm of capable coaches, hard working kids, and X's and O's that came together to form a championship caliber team. We played tackle as a 2nd grade team in a predominately 3rd grade league. We were competitive, but we lost every game. In 3rd grade we were a bit more competitive and won half of our games. I will never forget the jubilation of the kids after that first win! In 4th and 5th we continued to progress, running Your Single Wing and implementing your practice strategies.

This year things just clicked. Your Single Wing offense had become second nature, and our tweaks and adjustments to it were easy to implement. Our defense absolutely swarmed, with more than half the defense in on most of the tackles. These kids truly played as a team, no standouts, no superstars, and no attitudes; they were all Wolverines and they really bought into that concept. Our first game in league play and our last game in league play were two of the top teams in town. We beat both teams in very good games, and mercy ruled everyone else in between. The fact that I am most proud of, is that we had 22 kids on the team, and by the end of the year, we had 21 starters and the one kid that wasn't a starter still got a ton of playing time as a backup. Our coaches did a great job of developing kids throughout the year, to the point where we could trust them in a starting role.

These kids are in love with the game of football, and hopefully are better young men because of the time they spent with the Wolverines. It was truly a blessing from God to have these boys call me "Coach". We won our league and won our leagues season end "Superbowl" tournament. We also won a National Championship in Las Vegas- at the “Nationals”, NYFC National Tournament. It just doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks Dave for all of your help, I couldn't have done it as well without you.

2010 Dave, We lost in the semifinals this year but were the only team in our league to go undefeated during the regular season going 100% no huddle. My kids weren't the best athletes but were trained killers and got all they could out of themselves. This was my 3rd season using your system and I got the competition scratching their heads. Great experience for my kids and parents.

Best regards,
Craig Goldberg. Atlanta, GA

2010 Dave, I wanted to let you know that this last season was my second consecutive season of running your system. Last year as 5th graders we went to the county championship and barely lost. This season as 6th graders we went to the county championship and won. A little side note, the team we played in the championship this season also ran your system.

Corey Buckner, Vancouver WA

2010- Dave- Last year we went to the Single Wing with great success. We ran the Single Wing from the Junior High to the High School. We got your whole package and used a lot of your schemes and terminology. The Jet Series was our biggest steal. I just want to say thanks for all the work you put in getting these resources together. It helped my coaching staff and myself become better coaches of the Single Wing. It also helped us to post our best record in school history. Thanks again!

Darin Suckstorf-Norfolk, NE

2010- Our season wasn't a complete success, but a success none the less. This was my second season running the Winning youth football program. The real story is that after each of the last 3 games of the season, players and parents from the other teams were telling my players and coaches that they wanted to play for us because of how much fun our players were having. They loved how layed back we were and how hard our kids played. And they loved the offense.

2010 Coach Dave, Purchased entire packet and started studying. Ended up having 95% retention from Pop Warner to local town Winter League. We did the Character Foundation Program. BY FAR THE BIGGEST HIT for the kids and parents.

Coach Felix Cervantes, Arizona

2010 We met a lot of resistance from the parents but in the end we went undefeated. We were by far the smallest team in the league. We did not vary from your program one little bit. Everything you said would happen ended up happening. I think had we not had your program we would have lost half of our games. Our closest game was against another Single Wing team who also did not have the talent that many other teams had. Thank you so much for such a great system to follow.

2010 Hey coach, Thanks a bunch! I used your system last season with some extra plays that my coaches and I designed around the single wing's philosophies. We won the championship as an 11-12yr old team. No matter what we did or added "16 Power" still was our main attack and it killed everyone. My boys blocked the living snot out of "16 Power". It was a thing of beauty. I think you would be proud of our off tackle running lanes! This is my second year using your Single Wing and we've made it to the championship each year and won it this year. Funny thing is, only two teams ran the Single Wing in my league and we met each other in the Championship game.

Yours in Football,
Corey Buckner, Seattle Washington

2010 Coach- I would like to thank you. I purchased your DVDs last year and you made me look like a hero. It worked just like it was supposed to. I was a first year head coach and we went 8-0 and only had one close game. I averaged 10 different kids get to carry the ball in all games and all 19 touch the ball in two consecutive games. I love the 6-2 with 2 disciplined ends it was demoralizing for other teams. What a blast for all my boys. You have given me a great vehicle to really have an impact in young players lives.

Thank you,
Matt Francis Denver, Colorado

2010 My assistant coach came to me and said, "Coach when are we going to use the Single Wing in games". After we lost to a team I just knew we were going to beat I was like enough is enough. We devoted our entire practice to your system. Won four games in a row before facing our undefeated allstar team. It was homecoming all their coaches came out with their faces painted full of confidence. Needless to say we beat them 26-13. Still today I'm receiving HIGH praise for what I've done on and off the field with my kids. We went on to play the defending champs in the first round of the playoffs. Granted they have not lost a game in three years. I played them 3 times the year before and they beat us early in the season. All those games we have never scored on them. With your system we marched down and scored 13 on them. If it was not for a late quarter fumble from my BB we would have won. Final score 20-13. Thanks sooo much Dave. I'm constantly getting calls from other organizations. I just want to thank you Dave. Cant wait to hit'em with it this year. Take a look at the youtube video I put out on them. The green and white game is the team that was supposed to be sooo good in our park. The orange team is the undefeated team I had never scored on.

2010 Hey Coach, This past year (2010), we again played at the Jr Pee Wee level. However, this time half of our kids were 10 and half were 11. Unlike several cities in our conference, we do NOT “stack” our teams. 20, of the 22 starters on my team have been with me since Jr. Mighty Mite. They’re good kids, but we don’t have any superstars. In spite of that, we had an undefeated regular season. We ultimately lost in the playoffs by 1pt, in Double Overtime, when our attempted game winning extra point got blocked. The team that beat us, went on to Florida, where they lost a close game in the Semifinals.

For the season, we averaged 30.5pts/game and gave up an avg of 3.6 pts/game. More impressively, we had to “shut it down” in 9 of our games, and in most of our games our starters were on the bench by halftime, and occasionally by the 2nd qtr. This is in spite of the fact that we substitute regularly, right from the opening whistle, as you recommend. One great moment, came when we allowed our Linemen to run the ball (happened a couple times), and one of our O-Linemen, who was a 1st year football player, rumbled 50yds for a TD on a 16 Power, because it was blocked so well. The kid was thrilled. The team was ecstatic, and the kid’s Dad tear’d up on the sidelines and told me that “this is something he’ll remember for the rest of his life.”

Thanks again for a great roadmap to success.

2010 Dave, My name is Joel Flancher. I have been coaching HS football for 20 years and started coaching my son's 7 year old team last year. We implemented your Single Wing offense and ran 7 plays. We had an awesome season only losing 2 games, 1 game in overtime. I was planning on coming to the Football conference this weekend in Denver where you were presenting but a pair of sick kids kept me home. Mostly I just wanted to say thanks for the great info and advice.

2010 Hi Dave, I’m glad to see you hosting a clinic in my area and I’m hoping my schedule will allow me to attend. This season I moved up to coach our oldest age group of 12-14 yr olds and won our league championship.

I think the most important thing I’ve realized is that any coach who thinks he knows it all and refuses to be a student of the game is destined to failure. Those who study and work to improve themselves as coaches will reap the rewards of seeing their teams succeed. I learned a lot from the videos I purchased and was able to put that added knowledge to good use this season. My kids worked hard, were very confident and played every game as if it were the championship and we had a lot of fun doing it. This was definitely the highlight season of my coaching career!!

I am going to try and get the coaches from each age group we field to attend the clinic. I think they would all enjoy and benefit from it.

Thanks, Andy Watson HYFL Juniors

2010 Coach we won the championship finishing 11-0. We outscored our opponent 419 to 29 shutting out every opponent in the playoffs and championship. In our championship we went to old reliable Dave Cisar Single Wing to make things happen. 7 of our kids are going to a 10 private HS program. Without going on, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP b/c you said that we would win the championship real soon.

Coach Donald "Que" Berniard - SBR Jaguars 12-13, Baton Rouge, LA

2010 Dave- I started using your system 3 years ago, ever since then, these kids have accomplished more than any teams before them. For instance 2010 Kentucky Middle School Playoffs -first time ever for this middle school- only 16 teams from the state are eligible and we made it to the Elite Eight in the playoffs.

Thanks,

2010 Hey Coach - We won the 105 pd Orange Bowl Youth Alliance Championship! 19-0 over Homestead, Florida,

Thanks, Coach Conley

2010 Hi Dave - My 11 year old team went undefeated (for the 2nd year in a row) and won our league's championship running the Winning Youth Football system. Our league consists of teams from the northern Denver area suburbs that had 23 teams at 11 year olds. The top eight teams in each age group play in "Division 1" and are allowed to have tryouts, stack teams, etc to to put the best 18+ kids in an area on the Division 1 team. One of our competing area programs had over 100(!) 11 year olds to choose their top team from. That is more kids than we have in all of our age groups combined! Because we won "Division 2" last year, we had to move up to D1 this year.

A significant item is that we are the smallest program in our league. I only had 16 kids on my team, no tryouts, just took all that signed up, 25% of which were new players. As you might imagine, we were very small in the size department as well, typically out-weighed by 30-50#'s per man on the line. One of the reasons we were so fortunate this year: no significant injuries. Yes, there is luck involved in this. But I am convinced the relatively little amount of full contact that we do during practice helps us to be "lucky" in not having many injuries. The other huge factor is the huge number of reps we get in, as you advocate. Big competitive advantage over how other teams practice.

John Cunningham, Colorado

2010 Coach Cisar, I coach the defense on a first year 3rd grade team. We had LOTS of success this year running your offense and a variation of your 6-2 defense. We finished the year 9-1 and lost a heart breaker to a 3rd year 3rd grade team 6-0 in our championship game. My defense gave up just 4 touchdowns all season.

Trey Forrest Andover Jets Defensive Coordinator Wichita,KS

2010 Coach Cisar, Just letting you know about our season. I took over a 5th grade team that last year only scored 6 points. This year we scored 212 points and made it to the Division Championship. We had 11 out of a total of 17 kids score TD's! We had a very small team in numbers and size. This was the 2nd year I have ran your system and can't wait to build on this year with the same group of kids. Thanks for all your help through the years!

I wanted to tell you about our 2010 season. This year my sixth grade team went 8-1, scoring 234 offensive points. Overall, the year was exceptional. I have used your system for the past two years. In the last two years we scored 420 offensive points, had 6 defensive shutouts and went 15-4 overall. I like the system and intend to win the championship next year while using your strategies.

This is a great system and I encourage new coaches to give your system a serious look.

Thanks.

2010 Dear Dave- This is a story about a first-time football coach and 17 kids who bought into your Winning Youth Football system. To set the background, we play in the Virginia Beach Youth Football League Midget Division (10-12 year-olds). As you know, Hampton Roads is a hotbed of football talent. Many of the kids who play in this league go on to play at Virginia Tech, North Carolina, and the powerful FCS programs in the Colonial Athletic Association and therefore it is not surprising that this is a very competitive league.

The people here have modest incomes and Bayside Recreation League’s coffers are diminutive compared to Great Neck. While Great Neck is in the championship race year after year, Bayside had lost 20 straight games. Even worse, in the past two seasons Bayside scored only TWO touchdowns! As you know, this created a “rich get richer and the poor get poorer” cycle as our kids flocked to other more successful programs. So how did I become the coach of this downtrodden bunch? Unlike the football program, the basketball program was pretty good. I had just finished my second straight undefeated season when the athletic director approached me with “I want you to take over the football program”. After I explained to him that I’d never coached a down of football and that football isn’t basketball, he stated “I don’t care. Winning is winning.” I had to learn how to coach football fast. I hit the Internet and quickly stumbled upon you. Winning Youth Football gave me a well-organized plan from A to Z and that’s what I needed. I bought the book and DVDs and flew to Chantilly to one of your clinics.

We started with the NO PLAY on the first day and followed your blueprint to the letter.

The first game against Plaza, our fans consisted of some parents and the Athletic Director. After two successful 16 powers, We ran the 43 reverse for a 40 yd TD. We recovered an onside kick and two pays later scored on a 22 wedge. Three minutes into the game we had already matched the TD total for the past 2 seasons. We won 32-8. We won our next two games 38-0 and 42-0. Our fan base grew. We won 38-20 but the defense was less than stellar. The next two weeks we won convincingly 32-8 and 40-0. Our reward? We earned the right to play Great Neck again for the Division title.

We beat undefeated Great Neck 8-6 and were crowned Division Champions.!

In the end, Bayside went from scoring two TDs in two seasons to scoring over 250 points in one season. Even better, multiple kids scored touchdowns. We went from laughing stock to champions. Most importantly, we resurrected a hapless youth football program and helped unite the community. Thanks again Dave for your dedication to our youth and particularly to rookie football coaches like myself. Someone told me once that what we do as coaches is create memories. Rest assured that my players, my coaches, parents and I will never forget this season.

2010 Ok - Here is my story- Last yearand this year we had 10 teams in our division.The kidsare 8&9 year olds with a maximum weight of 105 pounds. We are the WCFL in Wellington Florida.

Last year my team went 1-8 and only scored 14 points the entire season. That summer, I found your products and purchased the following:

1. Implementing the Single Wing
2. Developing a smothering Defense
3. Dominating Offensive Line Play
4. Game Day Management

This year my team went 11-1, was the highest scoring team in the league,and won the Super Bowl. We avenged our only loss in the Super Bowl. In addition, I was voted (by our Board of Directors)to Coach our ALL-STAR team to compete for the "The Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance Championship" Which we won Last weekend.In total, With the help from your system, My teams went a combined 14-1. Won a Super Bowl and Won the Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance for the ALL-Star portion of the league. The Orange Bowl Victory was our second in our League history which spans almost 20 Years.

Thank you

2010 Coach Dave, Just wanted to let you know how are season went this year. We finished 9-0 and won our county championship for the second consecutive year. We had tremendous success with the spinner set, sainted 6 plus one and we ran much more jet formation this year. We averaged 30 points a game and gave up only 6 points per contest. We have now won 15 consecutive games and 100% retention rate for our returning players. Thanks again for all your help.

2010 Dave, I studied your books and videos all year and tried to implement the system “by the book.” I told everyone, “Even though I played football, I have a day job and don’t have the time to make up all the techniques and schemes.” The practice plans were excellent. It was fun running the offense, the kids loved the running the wedge. We actually got as far as the Burst series.

Half way through the season, to add in a whole new series of plays, we just flipped everything to the left We ended up being 8 and 1 with the majority of the team being first time players in the 2nd and 3rd grades.

Thanks

2010 Coach Dave

My kids are 5,6 and 7 years old. I have been the head coach for four years. In the past three years I have not had a winning season, all records were well under five hundred. Until I watched your video on the Single Wing. I introduced it to my coaching staff and they loved it . Football has become fun again. The team averaged 28 points a game and was only scored on in two games with my starters. This has been the best season, I ever had with a record of 11-2. Winning the Capital Beltway League Mighty Mite American Division and was invited to the Clinton Boys And Girls Club Turkey Bowl Tournament. Which we won 26 - 6, I will always use the Single Wing as a offensive weapon, it is awesome. Thank you for making my season such a successful one. I look forward to going undefeated next year.

2010 Coach Dave- I wanted to thank you for helping our offense this year. As a first year coach and offensive coordinator ofmy son's1st/2nd grade(6-7 year olds) football team, I purchased your DVD "Implementing the Single Wing Offense". Last year we barley one one game and this year with your system, we went 6-2 and won the championship game!Using your video, I created an offense that scored214 points andaveraged 24 points per game.

Thanks,

2010 Dave, Just saw that you will be in Salt Lake in May. I know in Taylorsvile we have 4 of our teams running your system and all the teams this year made playoffs this year and one of them made the championship. I won the championship in 2009 running your system. We are excited to have you here we will put the word out to the rest of our coaches.

Jesse Clark, Taylorsville, Utah

2010 Dave- I had a group of 3rd & 4th grade boys who were either rookies (my son) or came from another team in Howell where they had friends but were forced to change. I had no coaching staff and no play book. I surveyed the parents and got 3 volunteers with no coaching experience. Our Second meeting was July 20, 2010, just 13 days before the beginning of practice, we agreed to implement your single wing offense. Using your practice planning guide (especially the player evaluations and games) I planned our practices. We spent the first 3 weeks putting in the sainted six and perfecting them for our August 21 scrimmage and had success beating or tying the 3 opponents. We spent the rest of the season perfecting the 1/2 spin and full spin series. We went 8-1 even though every team we played had bigger and faster kids. After some games we challenged the other team to a relay race and never won, some we lost by a full two runners. But we were able to beat them at the game we love most using your system as a system and focusing on how complimentary plays work. The best part was how much fun the boys had. They loved football so much they would squeal with excitement when we ran our pre-practice warm up lap! Thanks for some great memories.

Coach Krause
Howell Michigan

2010 Hey Coach, Well we finished the regular season 8-0. And we only gave up 6 points. I hope your season was as much fun as mine was!

Last season we finished 1-8 .This season using your system, we finished 9-1 and winning a non league game for 10-1. I am very proud of my team and expecting to see about 95% return next year.

Blessing,

Coach Lyle Davis

2010 Coach Cisar, This is Dean Phillips Head coach of the Greenville Panthers. I wanted to give you a year end update of our season. We went 9-1 and and won the Greenville County Division 2 Championship. It was a fantastic year, the kids and Parents all had a great time. This offense allows multiple people roles so several kids can contribute to a win and make it hard for defenses to key on a single play or player. We went over 30 pts in many games and gave the 2nd string equal playing time in those wins. Defensively we had only one touchdown scored on starting defense, in the championship game, the others came on special teams or when my star corner was out with a concussion. I did want to add defensively we stayed in base with very few stunts, for my kids gap control is still a very simple and effective method. Last year we were Taylors falcons red. I started my own team this year. So for two years we have been 17 and 3, I wanted you to know you helped us with another successful year.

Talk to you soon

Dean Phillips
Greenville, South Carolina

2010 Dave, hope all is well with you. I am the coach of the Roland Story Chargers 3-4 grade blue team. Our first year we ran a different system and finished 0-6. We did not score a touchdown till the 4th game and were blown out of several games. We implemented your entire system this season with the same team. The system was easy to implement and the kids really had more fun during practice and games as did the coaches. Our parents and kids had a great experience and are excited about next season. We finished the year 4-2 as Central Conference Champions and qualified to play in our leagues championship playoffs. We scored the most cumulative points in our conference. Our two losses were by 6 points. We were competitive in both losses and dominate in our wins. We have 34 kids out at this age level and the talent is split between two teams evenly which creates some challenges in our minimum play league. The system really allows us to get kids playing time based on their abilities and make the experience fun for everyone. We were very pleased with the result of the program year one and feel we can do even better next season having a year of experience under our belt as players and coaches. The kids are requesting we run the same system next year. Thank you!

Brent Lester Ames, Iowa

2010 Coach Dave, Thank you for your CD-ROM and DVD's I tried your program and was successful this year. We went from a 2-6, in 2009, to a 6-4-1. The reason I'm e-mailing you I coach 8-12 year kids.Thanks andAloha from Hawaii.

2010 Hi Coach, I am very proud to repeat to you that My 110# team of 9u players went 10-1 and won our League Super Bowl by defeating the returning champ 19-6. We played both sides of the ball right out of your book and films. This was my first year as a Head coach in any sport. It is also the first time I have been a part of a team thatwon a championship in my life! We competed against 15 other teams from 5 different counties in North West Georgia.

Our parents were very impressed with the way we ran practices, our organization and attention to details. They mentioned several times how we were doing things in a way that they understood and was different from the other teams around us. They could see how we were prepared every day and that we really had a system and were not just running plays. It was a joy for me and for our little team of 25 players.

On our team every eligible player ran the ball at least 1 time. We had at least 10 different kids score touch downs including a little guy who is regularly bullied at his school. He has a lazy eye and makes for an easy target. Our team was the only place where every one around him was a friend. He caught a 16 pass TD for our first passing TD of the season. He is far from being a stud but has the biggest heart. Getting him that TD is one of the highlights of my season.

Regards,
Kevin Stumpf

2010 Dave, this is the 2nd season using your program in its entirety. 3 years ago, our group of 3-4th graders went 0-6, scored only 2 times all year, and were beat typically 40-0 on up to 60-0. It took us 4 games to score our first TD. That year, I decided to study different programs and what they adapt for practices, playbooks and coaching habits. I stumbled across your stuff, and bought in, read the entire book, scribbled notes in it, watched all your DVD's gave it to my coaching staff for review, and said "we are going to try this.

Well this year, with a lot of this same group we ended up 6-1, and had our playoff system not changed from 2 weeks, to 1 week, we WOULD have played for the championship the next week. Our kids were ecstatic! We finished #2 in scoring in the leauge, averaging about40 points per game, had 5 different kids score touchdowns, and 8 different kids ran the ball.

Thanks for all your work on this subject Dave. It has helped me become a better coach, and organizer for the practice/game day scheduling.

Sincerely,

Jerry Knutson/Head Coach, Plainfield Cougars 3rd/4th/5th grade team
Almond, WI

2010 Coach Dave, I took over as head coach 4 years ago, when we were an average team. The first thing I did was implement your system. That year we went 8-3. Since then we have gone 35-0 (8 and 9 year old division). There are 12 teams in the conference, and everyone knows exactly what we do. But the system is designed so that as long as the kids execute, it really doesn't matter if the other team has your playbook.

It's been one heck of a ride. Thanks for all of your knowledge and willingness to pass it along.

Regards,
Dan Maloney

2010 Dave- My story: Head Coach: Phill Segura - I have never played football in my life at any level. I started coaching in 2008 unable to name all the lineman positions and not knowing anything about blocking or tackling let alone teaching offense or defense. I literally knew nothing about coaching football and the moments before our first practice were some of the scariest moments of my life. We play in the AYL (Arapahoe Youth League) which is Denver. We had the lowest number of players on our team and had just a single 9 year old compared to our competition having as many as 6..

We rolled through the second half of the season and finished 6-2.We had to play a one-game-playoff just to get into the top 4 to compete for the Superbowl. The team we faced was the Superbowl runner-up from the year before. Of course they were supposed to move up a division but somehow there they were. They had beaten us the previous year but his year was different.We put up 41 points in a rout. They had been perfect for two straight seasons. Their last loss was sometime in 2008 and they had won at least 18 straight games. We won the game 20-6 and earned a trip to the Superbowl. We won the Superbowl 12-0.

The system, the system, the system…. I can’t say it enough. If it was not for the Winning Youth Football System we would not have had this special season. Absolutely every bit of football knowledge that I passed onto the players came directly from the system. I literally followed the system step-by-step all the way down to the practice outlines in the book. I have 23 players that all want to return next year even though we are moving up to the NFC. Every player, no matter the size, experience or athletic ability contributed to the season. We had 11 different players score a touchdown during the season. In one game we had 9 different kids score a touchdown or an extra point. Every player that was eligible ran the ball at some point in the season. played significant time on defense and everyone recorded at least one tackle. However, the real testament to the system is that all the parents were happy. This is probably the toughest thing to do these days as a youth coach. Thank you for putting this system in place. I am truly the guy that this system was made for. It made me look like a football genius even though I had no football experience. Our team and our community had a great season that they will never forget because of it.

Sincerely,
Phillip Segura
Denver, Colorado

2010 Coach Dave, I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for a wonderful season! We absolutely dominated our league during the regular season and the first 2 rounds of playoffs, but unfortunately cameup abit short in our Championship Game, losing 7-13. That was our only loss of the season and only the 2nd time we trailed in any game all season. We finished the season 10-1 and averaged scoring 25 points while giving up only 6.3 per game.

We were vastly improved as a coaching staff from reading your book and watching your videos. Our organization level was off the charts - I personally scripted every practice day down to 5 minute intervals. As obsessiveas that may sound to some, it kept the boys extremely focused and our practicesverysmooth. Much like you predicted in your book, early in the season other teams in our league complained to the president of the league that we had been practicing during the summer or for more hours than allowed! The funny part is that we actually were allowed 6 hours of practice time per week, but we NEVER exceeded 5 or 5 1/2hours of practice time in any week! Thank you again for helping us this season. While it was tough to lose in the Championship Game, we all are thrilled with the results we had with your program. We are determined that we will win the Championship next year!

2010 Coach Dave, I am a first year president of ayouth football program. I have 5 children and have coached various sports, including football for the past five years. During my five years of coaching football we have had some good seasons and some bad. We ran various offenses and defenses with no real rationale. However this year I wanted to find a system/methodology for offense and defense that would provide our teams with rules and steps to implement offense and defense. Beforethe season began this year I started searching the internet for the best youth systems. What kept drawing me back to WYF was thatI felt your philosophiescould be usedboth for my team, but perhaps more importantly as a guide for running my entire organization.To beupfront I should tell you that I used your program for running and planningof practices, evaluating talent and for implementing a defense. I even used portions of your book for how to teach line blocking and offensive play calling strategies.

We finished the year 10 - 0, and won our Super Bowl game. During the year we outscored our opponents 294 – 44.

Three other teams in our organization also used your system.Two of those teams had very little talent but had great seasons and made it to the final four teams in their respective divisions. The other team was our 7/8 yr old team and they went 11 - 1, winning their Super Bowl. The coach of this team should be nominated for coach of the year. He actually purchased your program on his own at the same time I did. We didn't realize it until the second week of practice. He has a great story which I will leave to him to send you but a summary of it is as follows:

• 25 year coach, that kept an open mind always looking to improve anddecided to change everything he had ever done and follow your program
• Stood up to resistance from his coaching staff
• After one week of practice I almost had a riot from a small group of trouble maker parents. Claiming: this wasn't football, their kids would be so far behind every other team because they didn't have helmets yet or weren't hitting.
• Lost first game of the year 6 - 0 to a team that ended up going undefeated in regular season. Game was in the rain, and had several fumbles.
• Ended regular season 7 - 1, often destroying teams
• Faced undefeated team (rematch of week one) in finals and won the championship
• Parents called coaches together before the finals and issued them an apologyof how wrong they were at the beginning of the season.

Mike Wheat

2010 Coach, Just wanted to share our success story with you. I started head coaching an 8U team three seasons ago. The coach before me had left and taken most of the players with him. I was as bad a first year coach as you could imagine. Didn’t have an offense, didn’t know how to put one in – and generally didn’t know that much about football. The team we had to work with was undersized and lacking speed. I was so optimistic, but realized that my knowledge of the game and our talent-level were not where we needed to be. That year we only scored two touchdowns and both were in 2nd halves of games that we were down big. Finished 0-9. In 2009, I now had a 9U team and was determined. After some spirited recruiting and a little luck, I came out with a little better football team talent-wise. We had a couple of speedier players and thought that we could surely win, but we still couldn’t beat anybody. Finished 0-9

2010 We were able to keep a core 8 players from our previous team with the exception of the two skill players. They both moved on to “more successful” situations. Before the season started, my friend, Carter Check and I decided to split the cost of your DVD’s and playbook. From the moment I got the playbook and DVD’s, I felt like I had found the perfect fit for us. It was like you had our team in mind and had designed an offense for us. We were still undersized and slow. Our fastest player would not have been the 3rd faster player in our own park, much less the rest of the league. As I was meeting with the parents, one of our dads asked if I was trying to draft a small, slow team.

We used your offensive formula exactly. We had no other plays other than those from your playbook. We really only had 8 or 10 plays that we ran during the regular season. We went 6-2 during the regular season. Our first playoff game was against a team that had gone undefeated. We beat them 14-0. Mouse and spinner wedge plays demoralized them.We ended up 7-3 losing to the eventual Superbowl champs by a TD. Quite a turnaround in one year using your system. Thank you again for your program. It made our season.

Michael Stallings

2010 League is 8,9 and 10 year olds and we had mostly 9 year olds this year year. This year we went 4-2-1 and made it to super bowl. We played same team that beat us twice (and went undefeated in league) but we played well and lost by smallest margin of any team. 12-0. Thanks.

Sam Baker

2010 Dave, I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding material. I purchased your Winning Youth Football Program and your Organized Practice DVD. I incorporated the principle and formulas with our 4th grade football team this year.

My coaches and I were limited to two practices a week. Needless to say your organizational skills were critical. We finished our season 7-0. We scored nearly 200 points and gave up less than 50. Every kid that was eligible to carry the ball had an opportunity and 10 of the 14 kids eligible to carry the ball scored in some fashion. I just wanted to say thanks.

Coach Joe Framke

2010 Coach Cisar - Wanted to give you a great report on our season. As you know, I coach the Novice team - ages 9 & 10 - for the Modesto Christian Kingsmen. This was our fourth year running your Single Wing. The system has made a great impact for us. In our first few years, we were small and few in number, but we still managed to post winning records, and the last two years we just missed out on the play-offs by a coin flip. This year, we had 26 boys, and about half were returners, and we really understood and executed the system. The results were incredible. A 12-0 season, and a Super Bowl win. Our game winning play was 16 pass from about mid-field and we scored our game winning conversion on Spinner 32 Wedge. Thanks for everything.

Jim Struck
Modesto, California

2010 Coach Cisar, I am contacting you today to extend my gratitude for the tremendous assistance that your book and DVD’s have played in the success of my first year of being a Head Coach in youth football. This summer my wife and I signed my son up to play tackle youth football. The coaches announced that 17 of these 47 youngsters would be selected to play on the “A” team and play in a separate division against other “A” team players from around the county. The remaining 30 boys would be placed in a developmental league or “B” division and play against common opponents from within the county. The group of parents coaching the “A” team called out the names of the 17 players that they would be selecting and off they went to practice across the field from where the rest of us remained. The remaining group of 5 coaches announced that they would break up the remaining 30 boys into 2 and that a coach would be needed to take on this project. The 5 remaining coaches made clear to everyone that they would be selecting the 15 players and the remaining 15 players would go to the parent who would agree to coach the boys that they had no interest in babysitting. It was asked of all of us dads and moms standing there which one of us would like to become a football coach of, and I quote, “the C team”.

Even though I had never coached football I was handed a whistle, 3 footballs and 15 boys who were as clueless as I was. All of this occurred on a Thursday evening with our first scrimmage against a very experienced team from a neighboring county league in the next 48 hours.Needless to say, I quickly ordered your book, Winning Youth Football and several of your instructional DVD’s. I took my boys into the first scrimmage of the season without having yet received your book and DVD’s. I proceeded to line up my boys in a traditional I formation with a Quarterback taking the snaps from Center and began to take a pounding. My boys failed to gain any positive yardage and allowed 5 Touchdowns to our opponent on their 10 offensive plays. Needless to say the parents of the players on my team walked away from this scrimmage feeling very concerned about what they had signed their sons up for. I have never in my life felt more alone than I did on the walk from the field to the parking lot. The anxiety that I felt was beyond anything that I had experienced in my lifetime and I was trying to think of an excuse to back out of the task that I had taken on.

The following Monday your material showed up at my doorstep. I spent the entire day reading the book chapter by chapter from the beginning. I took the DVD’s to my Assistant Coaches home where we spent the next several hours watching and learning with pen and pad in hand taking notes and preparing to follow your system step by step beginning at our practice the following night.I began the next evening’s practice with the announcement that we would be running the Single Wing offense and asked the parents to withhold passing judgment once they saw that we would not be using what is perceived to be a traditional football formation. You could have heard a pin drop following my announcement, the looks on some of the faces were that of dismay, confusion, frustration and obviously concern. It would only be much later in the season that the some of these parents would admit to me what I already suspected, that they thought I was an idiot and crazy to be running this offensive system.

Game day would quickly arrive and truthfully I have very little recollection of all things leading up to taking the field. I recall taking the field and walking past the coaches of the “A” team as well as the coaches of the other “B” team. The smug looks on their faces only added to my anxiety. They had watched my practices and whispered to each other about the offensive that I was running.I can specifically recall my nervousness in the huddle and could hear the cracking in my voice as I called the first play of the season. “Allright boys, we are going to run 22 Wedge…. 22 Wedge on GO.” “Remember, everyone WEDGE BLOCK, WEDGE BLOCK, WEDGE BLOCK”. “Scotty, snap it to Zac”. “Zac, stay in the wedge until you see daylight…. and then run as fast you can”. “Ready…. Break”. 30 seconds later, on the first play of the season……. TOUCHDOWN! We would also score 2 more touchdowns on this day and subsequently win our first game, debunking my thoughts that we may not win, let alone score this season. My boys would go on to finish the season 5-5, losing our final 3 games and just missing the playoffs. The highlights of our season included not only finishing with a better division record than the other “B” team (they finished 3-7) but we were able to defeat them in our only head to head game by a score of 13-7.

I was very proud of what the boys on my team were able to accomplish this season and owe much of the credit to you Coach Cisar . Your coaching materials provided me with the blueprint to becoming an organized teacher of the young boys who I had the pleasure to coach for the past several months. Thank you so much for the great amount of assistance that you have provided me and for pointing me in the right direction as I enter into the world of “Winning Youth Football”.

Sincerely,

B H S (name and location withheld by request)

2010 Hi Dave, I love your system and just completed our first year with 100% rookies implementing the Single Wing by the book and DVDs. We finished 7-1 and our only loss came to a team that was running your system and we lost on a on-side kick, they scored and we lost 18-13. Great season! Thanks Coach

Hi Coach Dave, I thought to share our success story. This was my first year coaching our "Crusaders" level (grades 3 and 4) team (Swampscott, MA). Last year (when we began implementing your single wing system) I coached our "Titans" level (grades 1 and 2) team. Last year my Titans team and our Swampscott Crusaders team were both .500 (4 - 4 records).

The boys had a blast. We had 7 different boys score TDs this year! Thanks

Peter Inzana

2010 Coach Cisar, Thanks to your program our team was able to win our league championship. On a weight basis we were the 2nd smallest team in our ten team 8-9 year old league in Billings Montana. The league uses a draft format to assemble the teams. This is the third year I have run your system. I have read your book about 5 times studying and implementing all aspects perfectly this year. I have watch all the DVD’s countless times.

Our team the “Titans” had a perfect 10-0 record with a total of 409 points scored for and 117 points scored against. We had eight different kids score touch downs this year. I’ve never had so many compliments from parents about how we handle the kids, so many other coaches yell and scream at the kids get upset with the refs while my staff was able to remain calm especially when things weren’t going our way. The best compliments came from parents of other teams wishing their boys were on our team. We had no kids quit, and truly believe we have installed a love of the game in all our kids this year. I think the difference in my coaching this year was holding the kids to the details that you teach such as proper “SLED” blocking, head on right side of blocks, great faking etc

We ran several of your offensive series, we installed the spinner and even a jet sweep series that had incredible results. The real testimony to your system could be seen when I was selected to coach the All Star game. We only had two practices and I implemented about 80% of our Titans offense in two 2-hour practices. The other team actually was given three 2-hour practices. Nobody thought we could teach the wedge that fast but we did. During the all star game we had 6 different kids score touchdowns and 10 different kids got to run the ball. We won the All Star game 40-0. Thanks again for your system and your teaching, this has been an incredibly rewarding season seeing the smiles on all our kids faces.

Shawn Murray
Billings Montana

2010 Coach Dave, I am a first year offensive coordinator on a team with a new head coach and new defensive coordinator. At the start of the season I was given complete control to implement a new offense as I saw fit. Most of our 5th grade boys have been playing together for years and until this year have won less than a handful of games. While our defense was usually pretty good our offense was pitiful and we did not win games. As a result several of our better players left for other teams, other sports and more current kids were planning on making this their last year to play. Who could blame them?

When I began my research into the type of offense I would like to run I found your website, blog and book. Your stories of turning teams with average or below average skilled players into winners struck a nerve. I thought if we could at least win half of our games the boys would discover a love for the sport and maybe keep playing. We developed a brutal running game that allowed us to go 7-0-1. We outscored opponents 166-6. The secret is out now as we became the talk of the league. Each of our last games were heavily scouted yet no one could replicate our success. Count me in as a true believer in your system. Honestly, I did not even go beyond the tip of the iceberg of information and techniques you provided. I didn't need to!

It is amazing to see kids that accepted losing suddenly develop a hunger for hard work, learning and winning games. I expect all of our kids to return next year with the addition of some strays coming back into the fold. On behalf on my 22 kids (including my own), coaches, and parents of our team…THANK YOU!

Coach Jeff Postocsnak

2010 Hello Dave, Just wanted to give you a brief recap of the seasons for the 3 teams in the Billings area that run your system. Shawn Murray coached in the Mighty Mite League ( 8 and9 yr old indoor 8 man)again this year his team went 10-0 and won the championship. Our C team( mostly 5th graders with a few 10 year old 4th graders anda couple of 6th graders)played in the Billings Little Guy Football (LGF) league we went 11-0 and won our championship game last Sat 13-0. We outscored our opponents on average by 30 pts and our 1st team defense was not scored on all year. Our B team from Laurel, mostly 6th graders with a few 5th graders went 9-2 and lost their championship game 14-13 in ot.

Just wanted to say thanks from all the coaches, parents, and players from our area for all you help and mentoring. Would love to book you out here for a hands on clinic this summer!!

Jeff Wagner

2010 Coach, This year I was the defense coach for 6 to 8 year olds. We ran your WT6 andfinished7 and 2. We made it to the championship game but lost with 1:30 left. We outscored our opponents 210 to 50. Most points we gave up in one game was 18, thanks for your help.

Brandon Black

2010 Coach, We finished in 3rd place in the 95 lb. 9 year old division out of 18 teams at 9-2. Our losses were to the same team where I believe we'll get them next year with your Single Wing. I want to thank you...we implemented the offense step by step. Thanks again.

Nikolas V. Tsamoutalidis

2010 Dave, This is my second year running your system. This year I coached 2 teams, my first team ended 7-1 and mercy ruled all 7 teams we beat in the first quarter. The one team that beat us ended up undefeated and we were the only team to score on them. My second team ended 4-3-1.

Thanks Daren Cable

Dave, I have ran your system for two consecutive seasons now and have a record of 16-4, with one second place finish and one first place finish. Thanks for all the help.

Corey Buckner, Vancouver, WA

2010- Just wanted to send you a note on our team this year. I bought your system last year and have used it exclusively. We lost our first two games last year but won the last 6 convincingly. This year we were undefeated at 7-0. We were the highest scoring team both years. We have now won 13 in a row. Your system is fantastic. I give it the highest recommendation. It simply works in youth football. Thank you for making me look good.

Dale Frack
Carl Junction, MO

2010 Coach, I know you know a good deal about our story already - but here is the part you don't know. We have 3 Atom teams in Chilliwack Minor Football (ages 8-9). Those three teams feed into our peewee program. As you know, our peewee team had 6 returning players from the previous year. The balance of our team came from the 4-6 Red, 3-7 Blue and 1-9 White Atom teams - with a few from the 2-8 Peewee White team. In 2010 we were 11-3 and won the VCFL Championship (our league) and Provincial Championship - for the first time in Chilliwack Minor Football history. Including exhibition and playoffs we were 20-5 overall, with two of those losses coming to your teams in Nebraska.

The real accomplishment, in my view, is that we have been widely recognized as the most sportsmanlike team in the league. The team concept is really strong in your system and we stressed selflessness - and sacrifice - all season long. The results speak for themselves. The team came together and executed as a team. We played on the road in the playoffs as the 3rd place team in the league, first defeating the second place team 34-13, then defeating the 1st place team 20-0 (who had beat us 36-0 just 5 weeks earlier). In the Provincial Semi-Finals we defeated a tough team from Kelowna BC 44-30 and in the Provincial Championship we beat an undefeated 13-0 Coquitlam Wildcats team that had only surrendered 60 points in 13 games by a score of 28-13. In week 9 of the season our starting 1 back broke his hand and we were forced to make wholesale changes in our backfield including a brand new 1 back and 2 back. In just 5 games, these two "new" backs ran for 890yds and 5 TDs and 476yds and 9TDs respectively - guys who had not carried the ball for us or any other team before. It’s your system that allows that productivity - the blocking and the execution. We ran the viper 4-4 starting in week 7 and rattled off 7 consecutive victories!

Anyway Dave - we really want to thank you and Winning Youth Football. I forwarded you the email from the team we beat for the Provincial Championship. I can't think of higher praise for our team and your program! Thanks again - and maybe someday soon we can get you to come up our way.

2010 Coach Cisar, Again, I would like to thank you for helping our team to an 8 -1 season while averaging just over 40 points per game. As you can see from our record we had a great season. The only down side to our season was that we lost in the first round of our playoffs. The team that beat us went on to finish 3rd in the nation. I have sense talked to the coach from that team and he told me that the game against us was their toughest game until they got to nationals. I still think we were the better team. They just had one kid that was far more mature than anyone we faced all season. I am very proud to say that we had 11 different kids score touchdowns, and 3 more scored on extra points. Once again THANK YOU so much for giving us access to yourknowledge of football. I firmly believe that ourteam would have never shown its true potential without you.

Coach Krause has coached three teams using this system. He discovered the system a couple of years ago after experiencing a lack of success with his 5th-grade team. The team experienced virtually immediate success using the system. The use of the Winning Youth Football system, allowed our team to score consistently and more importantly, allowed multiple players to carry the ball and score throughout the season.

Coach Krause was determined to make everyone have a memorable season and used football to not only develop better players, but also better young men. I appreciate your time and consideration of Wayne Krause as Coach of the Year.

2010 We used your system again this season and we went 7-2. I was proud of our boys as we were a 10u team. No doubt using the correct age appropriate schemes with the proper practice focus makes a huge difference. Most importantly, we taught the boys the same Christian values you espouse with your teams. We prayed after every practice and before and after every game always putting God first. Saw some big changes with my players and parents.

This was my fifth season coaching and fourth as a head coach here in San Antonio.

God Bless and Merry Christmas!

2010 Hello Coach Dave, I just want to thank you for the Winning Youth Football system. I attended your seminar in Cherry Hill, NJ earlier this year and picked up your materials. The team went 9-3 and ended up in the Bert Bell 80 lb championship game. In the playoffs, we beat an 8-1 club and then the number one seed and undefeated Downingtown club 20-13 on a last second Rocket sweep 50 yard run. It was the first time for any team in our Titans club made it to the championship game.

Although we lost the championship game, the important thing was that our successful season was truly the product of teamwork.

We had 18 players and thru the use of the single wing O, we were able to get the ball to all 18 players, with 15 scoring either a TD or PAT during the season. 6 of our players never played any football before this season and they all now love playing football. The players and parents were stoked about that and really helped to keep up the enthusiasm by everyone. After they all sign up to play again next season, I’ll know our season was a great success.The players really enjoyed our character building talks and we had no academic issues all season and the players came together as a team like no other I have coached in 7 years. Our secret weapon was Rocket sweep from the jet series which almost won us the championship game. Can’t wait for next season to begin already. Thanks again. Now I just have to convince the other coaches in our club to adopt your system since I am currently the lone wolf. We’ll see. Merry Christmas.

Sincerely,
Glenn C. Ward

2010 Coach Dave: As a first-time head coach I was overwhelmed at the task of designing and implementing an offense and defense. I am so glad I found your program. I bought your book and all the DVD’s. My only regret is that I did not purchase them until the week practice started. Needless to say I was doing a lot of cramming as you can imagine. Our 4th/5th grade team was 5-3 playing with twice as many fourth graders as fifth graders. We stuck with the base plays and did not implement the jet series (I definitely will next year). I enjoy coaching even more than I enjoyed playing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

Thanks Coach.

2010: I attended your clinic in February 2010 and bought all the materials. I studied up before the season, so I was ready come August. We were 7-1-1 in 2009, so we weren't coming from the bottom. However, when I really got into your system, I could see that this was a total package, not just something thrown together like I did in 2009. Come August, as Offensive Coordinator, I told the Head Coach what I wanted to do and that is was a fully comprehensive system. He was fine with that, so away we went.

This year (2010) we were 8-0, scoring a total of 226 pointsfor the season to our opponents 34. In the single wing, there,are so many bodies in front of the defenders that they just can't cope with it. The simplicity of the plays works great because it can be used even with our attendance problems. "A poorly executed block in the right place is better than a well executed block in the wrong place". All we have to do is get the kids in the right spot on the field and the rest takes care of itself.

I would like to nominate Coach Mark Cupp for your Coach of the Year award. He is a heck of a football coach and a great man. Coach Mark Cupp, Head Coach of the Rancho Cucamonga Pop Warner Jr. Pee Wee Wildcats, led his team to a Mt. Baldy Conference Championship before falling in the Western Region semi-finals. His team was undefeated in league play, and posted a record of 9 – 1. Mark produced a memorable year for the kids involved, and once again proved how the Winning Youth Football system can help guide players and coaches toward a successful season.

Mark and I first coached together one year ago, implementing the Single Wing and Wide Tackle Six with a team of 9 / 10 year olds. We were coaching a Jr. All-American team also located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. While we both had experience in football, we were first year coaches with that program. Mark had found your system online and wanted to give it a try. We received some odd looks from the other coaches, and even had a few parents request their kids be switched to the other team in our age bracket because of the unconventional offense we were running. We believed in the system, though, and our team finished the year 7-3, making it to the semi-finals in our league playoff bracket. That was the deepest any team in the chapter went into the playoffs. We had theleague's highest scoring offense during the regular season, and needless to say, our kids and parents were happy with the results.

Last April, Mark and I attended one of your clinics in Anaheim, CA. We picked up some great tips, and were very excited to work with this system again this year. We had made a switch in leagues, deciding to coach in the Pop Warner league, and were given the opportunity to coach the Rancho Cucamonga Wildcats. As first year coaches to the RC Pop Warner league, we could see there were skeptics as we worked to assemble a coaching staff. The results illustrate his outstanding coaching and leadership --- conference champions, high scoring offense, shutdown defense, a group of kids with another year of grand memories, and another group of coaches learning how to lead the right way.

Mark is also a man of strong faith and character. He trains the players to be competitive and desire to win, but treat opponents with the utmost respect. His interest is in teaching fundamentals and equipping the kids to enjoy football, so they keep coming back year after year. Mark takes an interest in all of his players, and has been generous with his time, whether arranging transportation for kids, setting up team functions to build camaraderie, or studying film to prepare for the next opponent. Mark is an outstanding coach and individual, and I believe very much worthy of receiving your Coach of the Year Award. Please consider him as your recipient this year.

2010- Dave- I just wanted to let you know that the Santa Monica Mitey-Mite, JPW, and Midget teams will compete in the AYL National Championships this year. We had 5 teams in our local championship.

Thank you for all of your input as it relates to football and ministering to inner city youth. I know you usually attend the Pop Warner and AYF Championships. Please check us out. Our organization has truly benefited from your books and videos. We are Winning Youth Football disciples and appreciate what you have done for our organization.

Maybe we can explore a WYF clinic for Santa Monica for this spring? Be blessed my brother in Christ and I hope to see you in FL.

The key ingredient to our success this season was the implementation of the Character Development Program. We had players who have learning disabilities who were in the bottom half of their class, rise to the top of their class (Academic Program). The players not only bought into each theme of the week (Foundations Program) but clearly understood what each meant, and were able to correlate them to the football field for motivation each week. Friday nights at the end of practice was truly a celebration at our field (players, parents, community representatives). We had full support from our parents, and school district, with multiple Friday night visits from the Superintendent of Schools, Administrators, Principals, and Teachers. We have run the system (Offense, Defense, Special Teams) with great success for the past 3 years (Record 50-7; 4 League Championships; 4 Super Bowl Championships), but truly have become a cohesive and premier program by implementing the Character Development as a component to our daily routine. I look forward to your tutelage on not only to continue developing outstanding football players (through schematics) but outstanding people (through character development) as well. Thank you.

2010 Coach, I just wanted to let you know how we did this year using your program. This is my first year as a head coach and I took on the responsibility of coaching my younger son's team . Only a couple of kids had ever played organized sports before. By the end of the season, we finished at 5-3. I stole your idea about sending a letter at the end of the season to each kid and from the parents I heard from, they absolutely loved getting it.At the bottom, I included the Athlete's Prayer, which I included in the letter. It matches up well with the four rules we drilled in to the kids from the beginning: Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Fair, Have Fun. It's a nice piece that you may have seen before.

We borrowed heavily from your program. We used the Towel Game, Sumo Game, Deer Hunter and sprints to determine where we put players. Just like the book says, we were about 95% right. Right from the start, we used the Ready-Focus method of getting and keeping attention.

From my perspective, the season was a huge success. Even though we lost some games, every kid wants to come back and that is my measure of success. There's snow on the ground here in Minnesota and the winter sports have started up, butevery kid isstill going out and playing football at recess or after school. Thanks again for a great program.

2010 Hey coach, This is Adam out here in Denver. I have been at your Denver seminar the last 2 years. Since using your system we have gone from 0-8, 2 years ago to just losing the Superbowl this year with a 9-3 record! I wanted to thank you for all the great information!

Coach Adam Slater
Denver, CO

2010 Dave, Just thought I would give you a heads up on our season. It ended on Oct. 30 at our championship game. We won 14-8 for our 3rd straight East TN title. Our offensive line averaged 148lbs, the team we played was 200+ average, our backfield was 116lbs and there's was 140+. It was a great game that should not have even been in question if we complete a couple of passes, they played an 8-3 D and finally got loose a couple of times. We scored 374pts in 10 games and our Varsity only played 4 quarters in 3 games, we allowed 116pts. Your SW offense does more than just allow us to score points, it allows us the freedom to coach our kids. Our school has 141 boys in the entire school 6,7,8 grades, we dressed 63 boys on the football team. Changing our practice methodology, planning, and everything has allowed us to be able to coach, not just go run into each other, but teach technique to 63 boys with 5 coaches. We finished 9-1 with a region championship and an East TN championship for AA, the AA division enrollment is 282 (that's us!) - 470 kids enrolled. Since putting in the Single Wing in 3 years ago our record is 28-2 with the 2 losses coming to the back to back AAA champions, their enrollment is 1400-1500 students in 7 and 8 grade.

2010 Dave, I just wanted return some more positive feedback to you. A buddy of mine and I had coached our kids through flag football for a few years, but we'd never coached youth tackle football before. When our local 9 & 10 year-old tackle league added another team this year, we decided to "move-up" with our kids. The league director cautioned us not to expect too much since we would be an expansion team and not have any returning players. As it turned out, only one of our players had ever played tackle football before. Your materials and methods are right on the money, and well worth the money. By implementing your system, we surprised everyone by finishing second in our eight team league with 6 wins and 2 losses. In the final regular season game we upset the only undefeated team in our league (7 to 6) in a game that we really dominated although the score didn't show it. Then, in our league's bowl game match-up, we defeated one of the teams that we had lost to earlier in the season (25 to 0). Obviously, we had gotten a lot better. Your system has made a believer out of me. Most importantly, all the kids on our team had a ton of fun playing football this year, and are excited about next year. Their parents are excited as well. It's also been a lot of fun watching the reaction from the other coaches who've been around the league for a while. Best regards

2010 Thanks for our second great year under your program. We finished 8-0 in county conference. Wewere up 28-0 in every game in the 1st half,and only gave up 12 points all year even with emptying the bench before half in almost every game. In 7 of 8 games the opponent never got a first down, and we recovered at least 1 onside/bloop kick in every game. After conference, we went to aColorado state tournament and won a game, then lost to a very well coached 5th gradeselect team vs our 4th-5th grade non-select team.

In fact, the last two years have been so greatthat the private Catholic school my kids go to begged me to start a 6-7th grade program/team for next year. You never know what life's calling may be, but I sure enjoy coaching the kids, so here we go with starting a new program.....

Bob Engleby

2010 This is Michael Brown in Poplarville, Ms. I purchased your book Winning Youth Football anda couple of the DVD's they have been very helpful in our youth football programs. I coached our 9 & 10 year old team last year and we went to the first round of the playoffs and did not loose a regular season game. That was a huge improvement from the prior seasons. This year my brother coached the 11 & 12's which were the same players and they have only lost one game so far using your system, thanks

Thanks Mike Brown

2010 Justin Kilcrease,Just a heads up the Village Buffalo Mitey Mite Gold here in Central Florida use your offense this year 2010. We went 9-0 with a rookie coaching staff and a new group of kids that never played together so we want to thank you Dave.

Justin Kilcrease

2010 Dave, I am in my second season running the Single Wing and your system. This year though I am the head coach. We are 7-0 and facing a tough opponent this week. I feel very confident in our ability to shut them down as well as put points on the board. We have outscored our opponents 248-18 so far and sandbagged in the second half of four of our games so as not to run the score up.

I have used your system for 5 different teams now, and have had great success with it. This year we moved our 4th grade team to a very competitive division. We beat a team that had never been beat and had only been scored on once since 2nd grade.

Thanks,
Coach Wayne

Hi Dave, I love your system and just completed our first year with 100% rookies implementing the single wing by the book and DVDs. We finshished 7-1 and our only loss came to a team that was running your system and we lost on a on-side kick, they scored and we lost 18-13. Great season.

Jeff King Canyon, TX

2010- Dave, we went 6-0-1 to finish out the season. Thought you would be interested to know a little about us - we are a big organization, with 34 teams at 5 different age levels, 1st grade thru 7th grade. There are three teams in our park that run the Single Wing either following your materials 100% or close to it, us (4th grade) and two 6-7 grade teams. We and one of the 6-7 grade single-wing teams are the only two undefeated teams in the park, with the only loss for the other 6-7 Single Wing team coming from the other Undefeated Single-Wing team. Not a bad testament to your materials.

Good luck to you in the post-season.

2010 Dave, I haven't corresponded with you in a while. Thought now would be a good time to share the progress we've made with your system. My first year as a head coach my 5th grade team went 0 & 7. We simply could not move the ball, and our team just wasn't very good. Not because of my players, but because I don't feel I was adequately prepared. After that season I attended one of your seminars in St. Louis. I bought in to your system, and followed it to a "T". My 2nd season as a head coach went much better. I had another 5th grade team. This time we went 7 &3 and made it all the way to the league championship game. My third season as a head coach,(6thgrade)we went 5 &3 and made it to the first round of the playoffs.

This year I have a 7th grade team, and we felt like we needed something more than just the usual "sainted six", "spinner series" etc., so we implemented your "jet" series in addition to the other plays. LET ME TELL YOU, I AM A BELIEVER IN YOUR SYSTEM!!! I feel the "Jet" series in conjunction with the original offense keeps the defenses guessing as to what there in for next. This year our team is 9 & 0. We averaged over 30 points a game, and will play in the league championship this coming Saturday. My players are very proud of themselves because of what they accomplished. I am proud of them to. They did it, we just pointed them in the right direction.

THANKS AGAIN DAVE, WE OWE A LARGE PART OF OUR SUCCESS TO YOU AND YOUR SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yours in football

2010 David, After going 0-10 last year. I purchased your Book and videos and installed your defense. The same kids this year are 7-2 and going into the playoffs this weekend. The teams we lost to run your Offense, both teams are. 8-1. Maybe I should have committed to your offense as well, but back to defense. Your defense is simple and effective. Thank you so much, lots of videos and books out there believe me, I have read most but yours are right to the point and are effective. 93 pound Mount prospect Lions 7-2 and were not done yet.. THANK YOU.

2010 Hey Coach, Just wanted to drop you a quick thank you for the program and give you another success story. I am the offensive coordinator for a youth football team out here in Denver. Last yr we ran a single wing offense and not a system and ended with a 4-4 record due to our talent alone. In the off season I bought your entire system and proceeded to indulge myself in everything and learned everything I could. I passed this system on to my HC and the other assts and we tried to follow it as best as we could. This year we are 7-0 and I am running the highest scoring offense in all 3 Divisions. My Kids are having a life changing season. I couldn’t be prouder of my kids and they are playing well.

Coach Devon
Arvada Colorado Bulldogs

2010 Coach, First of all, I wanted to let you know that your system worked well for us this year. I am coaching third graders and used your system. The gist of this: when we executed your system "by the book", it was extremely successful so this is another recommendation for your system. We play 7 regular season games and one playoff game. I run two offenses and alternate every other series. This Saturday we have our "bowl game" and we are now playing for third place. Thanks for your help. I love the system and will be continuing to use it in the seasons to come.

Eric Welshons

2010 Coach, Your system is working awesome! We have used it for the 2nd year we are 7-1 so far and made the playoff for the first time in our division at New Kent County Youth Football. We are Pee Wee's (9 year olds) and non select and have 146 kids in our whole organization including cheerleaders.

Jamie Terry
Quinton, Virginia

2010 Dave: We are now 4-0 with 122 points scored and 6 points against. We could have scored many more points in these games, but we kept the scores under 34 points. We are the youngest team in the league with only one player that has played tackle football before; most teams we play against have 12-14 returning players. I am a rookie tackle coach that never played football (football has always been my favorite spectator sport), but I have studied your material for almost two years, and attended your Seattle clinic.

We are not perfect, but I believe we block well, fake well, and work as a team. We will be playing some much tougher teams soon, but we are continuing to improve. The team on the Hudl video I sent you was worried we would never win a game this season, and has a coach that played Pro and Semi-pro football as a QB for many years- as you can see we did pretty well against them. Regards,

Greg Reid

2010 Dearcoach Cisar; I would like to take a moment of your time to thank you for everything you have done for our youth football program. You do not know me,but I listened to you speak at the Nike clinic in Orlando early this spring. I have been coaching youth football for the past eight years with very limited success, that is until I ordered your book "Winning Youth Football". I installed your program this fall season,almost in it's entirety. We are currently averaging over 40 points per game and are 4 & 1 on the season. Our only loss was a 40 - 42 barn burner against a team that runs your system also. All of this is with the same kids that I went 4 & 6 with last fall. I don't know what inspired you to give out all of this valuable information, but myself and the entire Ravens organization would like to thank you for bringing the fun back in football for our kids.

Coach Greg Blevins
Orlando, Florida

2010 Hey Coach Dave,I ran into you down in Orlando after Port St. Lucie's first game at Disney.I was kind of surprised you recognized me having only met you a few times over the last four years. I attended your clinic the next day with Rick Darlington. I have been running your offense for five years now and three of those years when I was the head coach I ran your WT 6-2 defense. Last year I used your blue print for defending the double wing as we were scheduled to play a very tough Double Wing team that was favored to win the conference title. We fell behind early due to a couple of poor onside kick attempts and a snap that sailed over our punters head for a safety. At 0-16 early in the 2nd quarter it was not looking good. A nice kick return, 12 yards on a Lazer 47 sweep and a beautifully executed 18 sweep pass for a 37 yard TD,6-16. Our defense started to follow the game plan and before you knew it it was 12-16 at the half. We went on to win 26-20 on their field when they thought they were going to beat us handily. That was the best team that I have been able to beat. Thanks to Winning Youth Football !

Thanks for all your help Coach Dave.

Sincerely Mike Schild

2010 Coach Dave,

I have been emailing you for the past several years and I always appreciate your responses and the work you put into youth football. We are in the third year of implementing your system playing in a very competitive league in Oklahoma City. For the first time, I branched out in the preseason taking on other of the top teams in the area. I was surprised by the fact that many of the other coaches were familiar with the single wing but none of them ran the offense.

One of the tournaments we played was a scrimmage format where 5 teams were invited to play the 5 middle school 6th grade teams out of an OKC suburb called Del City. Del City has an extremely competitive football high school football program. Each team played 10 plays offenses and defense against a Del City team. You received 6 points for a TD and 2 points for a turnover. Utilizing the single wing and Jet Series, we scored 130 points basically scoring every 3rd play. The second closest team scored 60 points and the other 4 teams that were invited were some of the top teams in the area. Several coaches came up to me during the scrimmage that coached younger teams to ask about our system.

We have successfully integrated the Jet Series and run it about half of the time. The Wedge play is extremely effectively and we have put in numerous of your pass plays off of the jet fly option. So far, we are 4-0 this year

Michael F. Lauderdale

2010 Dave- My 4th grade team improved to 4-0-1 last night. Scored 20 points in the first 11 minutes and by rule had to take my entire backfield out. Did get 9 different players the opportunity to run with the ball. I have heard you say you could "name the score" in some of your games. Well, that was this game, a first for me.

Also, Hudl has been a huge asset to our preparation. Kids and parents love it. Thanks again,

Grady Thrasher

2010 Coach Dave, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you thank you for the work you are doing for kids all around the country. My name is Coach Fred, and I was introduced to your systemthree years ago by Coach Perry. Now, four years ago, I was the defensive coordinator for the Hagerstown Saints Pee Wee Football Team(my first year ever coaching). Coach Perry was the Head Coach and he brought me on to help. That year, we finished 4-4 with a pretty talented team. The best record the Saints had ever had. A disappointed Coach Perry stumbled upon your system and was really encouraged by what he saw. He decided he wanted to make the change to your system. Unfortunately, two months before the next season started, Coach Perry had to move away and give up the team. He decided to hand the team down to me. I am not ashamed to admit I was terrified and onlyhad one year under my belt as a defensive coordinator. How was I going to jump to Head Coach already? Well, because of Coach Perry, I ordered your Offensive and Defensive DVD's, as well as your book. That’s when I fell in love with your system and started to believe I could do this. My first year as Head Coach wasn’t easy but we finished with a 7-1 record tied for first place(the new best ever for the saints). The following year, we went 7-1 once again in a three way tie for first place. The best part is how much fun the kids and parents have had and the difference we are making with these kids. I will be attending the Glazier Youth Football Coaches Clinic this year. Will you be in attendance? If so, let me know, I love to meet you and thank you in person for all you do. Thanks again.

Coach, I just wanted to thank you for your program WYF. I purchased your system a couple of years ago after an 1-6-1 season that was worst than anything you can imagine (no structure & out of control parents). So I bought into your system after being referred to it by a fellow coach, I read if from cover to cover. I installed your system running your defense and offense (10 & 11 yrs olds) we went to the championship game and lost by 3 points - we missed all three extra points my kicker hadn't missed all year but he had a bad day oh well! The next season with the same team using your system we win it all going undefeated 8-0 and bringing first championship to the city of Diamond Bar, Ca. in 23 years. Thanks again.

2010 Hey Coach Cisar, my name is Carlos Spencer and I am a youth football coach for the Midget Division (age 13-15) Forest Park Blackhawks of the Maryland American Youth Football Conference. I talked to you briefly at the Glazier Clinic that took place in Maryland. My team came in 3rd place at the American Youth Football National Championships. We beat houston, lost to Staten Island, and beat Oak Grove, California. I would first like to thank you for our offensive success because we definitely used your Single Wing offense this season and we probably use it for some years to come.

Carlos Spencer
Baltimore Maryland

2010 Coach, We used your program here in New Braunfels with the Countyline Regulators. We absolutely love it! After this season I coached a team that consisted of 8th graders using your Single Wing offense. We had a great team that won the championship and every game along the way. Teams had no idea what to do to stop us. This spring we are moving up in age to 9-10th graders. We plan to use the Single Wing as well with some added passing plays. Our boys play at a great high school that uses a version of the spread.

Thanks,

2010- Dave, I attended your seminar last year inCincyand my teamimproved from only 3 wins to 9 wins (out of 10). Thanks. Won League Championship and lost final game in Cereal Bowl (to team we had beat 28 points earlier!). Will try to make one again this year.

2010- Dave, I periodically send you updates on our seasons over here in N. California and wanted to let you know about our 2009 SJW PeeWees (10-11 year olds) did last year. Following many of your principles in how to conduct practices and game plansour boys went all the way to the championship. Entering into the game we had been running a Single Wing and added a Double Wing series to throw off the D, but it didn't work. It was just one of those games you wish you could have back, but we ended the season 10-2 only having78 points scored on us the whole season with 60 of those being scored on us by the team that ......yes......beat us in the final game. I have loved using your progression in practice in getting the kids used to hitting etc.....and will never go back. We were a feared team in the league and no one wanted to play us! On another note I feel great that our kids had no unsportsmanlike penalties all season and all of the parents were extremely please with the results. Keep the info coming as I look forward to moving into the 2010 season with a kick butt bunch of kids and parents! God Bless,

2010 Hey Coach, I am looking forward to the clinic again this year. I was you attendance guy last year in Denver, and we did find a way to run the Single Wing with 8 men.  We averaged over 30 points a game. Not bad for a team that only scored a TOLTAL of 35 point in 8 games the year before. Not quite worst to first BUT 0-8 to 5-3 is not too bad . . . AND we have 3 kids that played on other teams who watched us practice and they are moving their kids over to our team because the kids love playing for us. Looks like I will be coaching 2 age groups next year .

Thanks again for putting this system together!

2010 Hello Coach Cisar, On behalf of myself and the Lions Youth Organization, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! How did our football season turn out? It was a great year formy entire club being it was ourfirst year. We had four padded teams and two flag teams. All teams were as competitive as you could expect for first year teams.

My 9-10 year old team, that I coach, was the most experienced team. This team went undefeated in regular season and playoffs. We feel short in the championship game by loosing to a team wedefeated during regular season. My kids played their hearts out and I was very proud of them. They took that loss very hard because theyknew, along with myself, thatthey were a better team.

The Single Wing offensewas incredibly for us during the 2009 season.Our offense put on quite a show forthe coaches, the parents and family members who came to see the games. I am totally sold on the fact that there is sports, then there is youth sports. This offense is totallymade for youth football. Our offense scored moreand more touchdowns as theplayers learned more plays. The opposing team's defense had problems competing against the single wing, even after scouting it. The league we play in has very athletic and fast kids. You have to out coach them. The single wing offense totally dominated. Keep up the good work and I will hear from you soon.

2010 Hey Dave hows it going? Well when my son was ten he started asking if he could play football. My sons second year as a PeeWee I was asked if I could be an asst coach s I said yes, e lost our first game 27-6. Prior to this game I had bought you program but hadn't shared it with any of the coaches. ut after that first loss I knew I had to do something,I brought it to the head coaches attention and then put it up to vote on with the other coaches and the decision was unanimous, Single Wing was in. To make a long story short we went on to win the next eight games only to get knocked out of the first round of playoffs. But wow what a season.

This year was his third year and again I was asked to coach but not as an asst but as the head coach. I really didn't want to be the head coach due to having not played football at any organized level. I was pretty sure I would be getting in over my head, but I was given the chance to make a difference in these kids lives. Working with the age group of 11-12-13 was a challenge to say the least. Our first four games were non league and div 1 teams (we are div 2)We lost our first two games. We went on to win the next 8 games making it to the second round of playoffs losing 19-18 in double overtime. Not the perfect ending to an incredible season but we did take the title as division champs as we won all 5 of our league games by no less than 20 points.

Thanks for giving these kids a fighting chance.

2009 Hello Coach

Just wanted to give you a report on how our season went . I coach the Pee Wee Division which is 10 and under in our league we play in the Mid Florida Football and Cheer Conference which is consider one of the toughest league in Central Florida.. Most of the division are unlimited weight and you have no boundaries so you can recruit. Your system has turned us into a powerhouse in our league . The last 3 years we are 28-2 in regular season play , 7-2 in post season play . This year we reach the top of the mountain going 10-0 in the regular season and 4-0 in the play off and winning the super bowl we ending up 14-0 this year. We are a powerhouse and will be for a long time thanks to your system. Thanks for everything Coach hope to see you in Orlando again this year at your clinic.

Thank You,
Don Taylor, Florida

2009 Coach Dave

I coached for the Plainfield Jr Cats (Illinois), Mac 10 Featherweight (ages 9-10) travel team. We play in a highly competitive league with 14 teams in our conference. My last year's team's regular season record was 5-4. This year, using your system, it was 8-1. Our last year's season's wins were close games, normally ending with a score of 6-0. The additional 3 wins this year was an achievement in itself, however, the way we won this year was remarkable and impressive. Our team tallied 178 points for, and held 38 points against. Our YPC was unmatched.

I purchased your Ultra Package early last year and was hooked the minute I received the materials. I followed your plan to the letter. Introducing the offense was not an easy task to my seasoned Assistant Coaches, who were unfamiliar with single wing. However, once we reviewed your game films, everyone bought into the system and we never looked back. I plan to be at your Chicago workshop. I believe, as a direct result, all 22 players plan to return to football next year.

It was a fantastic season. Thank you very much for your help !

2009 Coach Dave

The past two years I have been coaching at P.A.L. in Badenton Fla. I was at the Wildcats, I coached there for three years. When I first started, they were only winning three to four games a year. Me and one other coach turned it around with the first season at eight and two. Then the next two seasons was ten and zero. We used your system and your Single Wing Offense, the age group was 8,9,10 year olds. Then in 2008, I was asked if I could help turn a team around, that just could not win a game. I started the 2008 season there, we finished at seven and three, they learned the single wing quick for me. Then last season we finished nine and one, then went and won the superbowl. I had some great kids to work with. The other coach before me just could not get it going, but there are some very strong teams at P.A.L.. This also was the 8,9,10, year olds. Thanks for your time.

COACH TIM

2009 Hey Dave

I have been Coaching in Pop Warner for the Coventry Rams organization for 4 years (R.I) Last year I bought a bunch of stuff from you including Winning Youth Football, smothering Defense, Single Wing, etc. It was tough for me to sell the program to the Head coach last year, as he wanted to stick with Coventrys traditional Wing T (40 yrs). This year, I pretty much took control of the team and installed everything. I coach 8-10 year olds. WHAT A SEASON! This was the first season since I have been in the league where the Rams had a winning season. This Division is the Mitey Mite Division, which won 1 game in the previous 2 years. We were 0-7-1 last year and 0-8, the year before. This year we went 6-2-1.

It’s been a tough 3 years for these kids and coaches. I basically did exactly what the DVDs told me to do. The best thing I really enjoyed was the kids excitement. The Smothering Defense (WT6) was huge. The way you broke down evaluating each position really helped me. Our team only gave up 69 points on Defense, which is amazing. Of the 6 divisions in the Rams, we were #1 in that category until the Bowl.

I truly believe the system changed everything. I studied it, researched it, and even contacted you a few times about it. IT Works. It took us a while, but our staff coached the heck out of the kids. What makes it even better was it worked with the MPRs. Its tough when you have 35 players and everyone has to get 8-10 plays.

The system also made the parents proud. They were so happy to see the kids win. I understand that Mitey Might is an instructional program, but losing for 3 years prior hurts. I wanted to say Thanks for everything. seeing these kids be successful is enough for me.

Coach Joe Lupino, Coventry Rhode Island

2009 Dave:

You have to understand the circumstances of our league; it’s a development league of the private schools in Little Rock, Arkansas made up of 5th/6th graders from 8 schools. Because of being one of the smaller schools, we generally struggle competing against most of the other schools because of the lack of quality 6th graders and lack of consistency on a year-to-year basis. In the past, one of the 6th grade dads would take the head coaching position, run whatever type offense and defense he wanted and after that year, someone else would come in as a 6th grade dad the next year and do the same thing.

When my son was in the 5th grade, I volunteered as an assistant coach for the 5th/6th grade team and I purposefully worked with the 5th graders knowing I’d have them back the next year, even though I rarely got to work with my own son because he started as a 5th grader for the 5th/6th grade team. During that year, we went 2-5.

Once I started researching various systems to put in place, I found your “Winning Youth Football – A Step by Step Plan” – Bingo! I found EXACTLY what I was looking for. In June of

2009, I met with another dad who I knew was going to coach with me, showed him your system and once I had his buy in as well, we set the wheels in motion; literally step-by-step. We found other dads that we felt would abide by “the system” and we recruited 5th grade dads so they could learn the system as well. We followed your plan in every single detail, from our Player Contracts to Parent Contracts, to pre-season evaluation drills, position selection, and on-and-on. Every time someone had the idea to do something different, I was steadfast in sticking to the plan. We ran your offense and your plays to perfection, the boys didn’t have to think about what to do, they knew it!

We ended up 6-2. We were 5-0 and had the best two teams yet to play, the 6th game was against a team that had 46 6th graders (they have a separate 5th grade team), we had 22 6th graders and 11 5th graders. The next game was against a team that either wins the league or comes in second every single year! Much like the team we played the week before, they have an established program that runs all the way up through high school. They also only play 6th graders, they had 40. This is the team that everyone would love to beat, and we beat them 6-0! We took the opening kick-off, methodically marched up the field eating up the entire 1st quarter and 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter on this one drive and scored.

Without question, the key to this season was organization. Your program outlined everything, what to do and how to do it. I utilized your experience and feel that we were able to not only have an incredible year, but we established the beginning of a program that can build on the ground work we laid. Dave, I have been fortunate in business, I’ve been active in my community, past president of the 45th largest Rotary Club in the world, among many other things, but without question, this year’s football season is the one thing I am most proud of! To see these kids go from a perennial loser to believers in themselves and what we were teaching them, it was incredible. For me personally, to watch how proud my own son was of our accomplishments was worth all the hours that was devoted to this effort.

I felt compelled to share this story with you in hopes that it may help someone else in the same shoes I was in. This is not just about football, this is about developing a program that will impact these young men’s lives. Doing it right or doing it wrong could make the difference in these kids lives. You get some coach yelling and screaming and running kids off, they may never play again. Or even worse, teaching them the wrong techniques and getting someone seriously hurt. I want to personally thank you for making this experience one of the most enjoyable and rewarding of my life!

Sincerely,

Bill Sowell- Little Rock, Arkansas

I wanted to share with you my thoughts and impressions as a first year head coach using your system. I was bound and determined to make sure that practices were going to be fun and that we would have at least a successful season....one that would be memorable not just for him, but for everyone involved. Thankfully, my 6 year old son was playing on Shane Johnson's Stallions Team and I was able to observe his practice. It was very organized and the kids enjoyed the many games they got to play during practice. I had a brief conversation with Shane about his system and he recommended your program. I bought the book and some of the dvd's and began to devour the material.

After reading through the material I pretty much decided to just completely follow your system. Now on to the kids. If you count in our team picture you will see 21 kids, not a single kid left my team during our season.Our regular season record was 6-2. We lost to the eventual Superbowl champions 20-0. Dave, I know I truly haven't talked much about the football aspect regarding the X's and O's. My main goal this season was to try not to embarrass myself. I was also very happy with the sections on clock management and play calling. Those concepts were easy to understand and immediately apply I felt that I hit each game with a plan and observed a lot of “seasoned “ coaches allow the game to manage them instead of them manage the game. I really felt you gave me a leg up on my competition.

In closing , I want to share with you a comment that were made to me that completely encapsulates the success I think we had. After the end of the season party Coach Bruce comes up to me and says “I want to tell you what “X” (his son, starting power tackle) said after our last game. As we were driving home X starts crying.” Bruce continues,” X it’s ok we'll play again next year. ”Dad, ”Harris says ”I'm not sad because we lost I'm sad because its over. There will never be another football season like this one”

Wow, Dave it was an inspired season. Most people from the outside thought I had coached for along time. Little did they know I read a book and watched some dvd's....Thank You

Regards...
Patrick Barberio

I would like to nominate my Head Coach for the WYF Coach of the Year! Brian Eaton; South Beach Seahawks Peewee Division Head Coach- I am an assistant coach for the South Beach Seahawks / Peewee Division, from Brevard county Florida. This past year another coach stepped up to be the head coach as we entered into our Peewee season (10-11 year olds). He was already sold on the WYF approach and asked me tag along to attend your seminar in Orlando and it was great! Coach Brian Eaton introduced the entire WYF to our league and most teams/coaches attempted to implement the program for their team. But the Peewees were all about WYF and although some of the drills and concepts were different from when we played the game, we stuck with it.

We are a beachside community. We do not recruit, we are smaller and not as fast as most of our competition. But the WYF program allows us to maximize the basics and have more fun at practice. It was surprising how much a difference there was from that old routine! Coach Brian would even attend another Seahawk team if asked, to help start the coaches on running practice the WYF way. Coach Brian had the parents and even the kids sold on the “Weekly Parent/Teacher evaluation Forms” and had kids scrambling and calling home if they forgot their form on Thursday practice! Often, parents from other teams would know us by that aspect alone and were very complimentary that we were holding the boys accountable at home and at school!

At years end, our teams that used the system had all improved their records. Our Peewee team improved from 4-4 to 9-2 overall this year. The Peewees went to the playoffs and made it to the second round where we lost to the eventual SuperBowl champs.

Coach Brian deserves quite a bit of credit for taking the initiative in bringing WYF not only to his team, but as the foundation for our South Beach Youth Football Program. The teams that used the system were winners. As one of his assistant coaches, I can honestly say that this past year has been a FUN coaching and learning experience. We utilized practice more efficiently, built character in our boys, competed on a very high level, and gained the respect of the parents, the boys, and every opponent we played.

2009- Our Norwood Raiders Pee Wee Program in Bergen County New Jersey ended up the season with a 16-8 overall record. With 47 boys on the roster, I’ve established 3 different teams/schedules in order to make sure the boys get ample playing time and are properly matched with other teams with similar skill sets. Since I started using your system two years ago, we have a combined Pee Wee record of 33-10-1 which we are quite proud of considering the talent that we are dealing with and the league we are playing in. Thanks again!

Gerald T. Griffin- Bergen County, NJ

2009 Coach Dave,

We are the Potter / Raccoon Red Devils (Hopewell twp / Aliquippa ,Pa) 6, 7 and 8 year olds (Twerps) 6 Wins and 2 losses. Best record ever for any age team in our league. Two losses by one point each on the last play of each game or we would of tied for the championship at 8-0. Points scored 171, we could of scored well over 250 pts but let a lot of kid run the ball.

The program is very easy to teach, our kids (6,7.8 yr olds) knew 20 different plays and we used them all through the year. The student / teacher / parent form was a huge hit with both parents and teachers.

The code of conduct and the student/teacher/parent form was perfect to get rid of the cancer that was starting to grow in the league. Now everyone involved with the program is on board with the system and they couldn’t stop thanking us . 99% of the parents told us how much their kids love football now. One week after the season was over 6 parents come up to us at wrestling practice and said they have heard great things about our coaching style.Thanks so much for this great system and we are making our reservations for Chicago.

2009 Hi Coach Dave,

I wanted to catch you up on our season and nominate my offensive coach for coach of the year. Here's our story. Last year was the first year Bill Henderson and I coached together. We have known each other for years in the coaching circle and decided we would make a good tandem in the 9-10 year old Boys and Girls Club league in Valdosta, Ga. He coached offense and I coached defense and last year we went 5-5 with a loss in the first round of the playoffs. I had purchased your books and a couple of DVDs in 2007 but I really enjoy defense so I didn't say much to Bill about it until the end of last years disappointing 5-5 season. To his credit, he took your book and videos and studied them and afterwards told me he was very interested in the Single Wing offense. We then came to your Orlando clinic in April '09 and on the ride home we were pumped up and he said " we are going to run this offense and go undefeated this year". Guess what happened? Yep, we did it! A perfect 9-0 regular season! We won the first round playoff game and went to the championship game but lost 16-14 with 4 fumbles and a missed PAT kick that would have tied the game. And the team we lost to... well guess what offense they run? You got it, the Single Wing! We beat that same team in the regular season 22-0. We then continued on to the 'Peanut Bowl' in Qutiman, Ga (regional post-season single elimination tournament) and came out champions beating everyone by double digits. Oh, and guess who we played in the championship game? Yep, our fellow Single Wing opponents from our league who also beat everyone in their brackets until we met again for a season ending rubber match. Final score 28-12. Final season record 12-1. There is more! Because we were regular season champs, we were asked to coach the Boys & Girls Club All Star team that plays in a huge 73 team (all ages) tournament in Tifton, Ga with teams from all over the state. We were worried because we would only have 4 practices and only 8 of the kids on the all star team would be from our original team. However, we knew that the blocking scheme was so simple to teach and that some of the other kids on the all star team would come from our previously mentioned opponents Single Wing team so we jumped on the opportunity. Through four rounds of play we went: Round 1-Bye, Round 2- 26-6, Round 3- 21-0, and Championship gam 27-0.

So, why does Bill Henderson deserve coach of the year? Simple really, he was intelligent and open minded enough to see that what we were doing was not getting the results we wanted. And, in order to get those results, we had to change to an offense that simplified blocking assignments, loaded the point of attack with blockers, and was fun and easy for kids (and coaches) to learn in a short period of time. He ran the system just as it was presented in the book and clinic and never tried to add his own stuff. He was a stickler for technique and we worked hard but it paid off from the first practice to the last all star championship game. Our offensive line only had 1 striper and they absolutely loved the wedge. Our scoring differential for the season was 328-59 for 13 games. Defense was 6-2 wide tackle (right from the book) and only gave up an average of 4.5 points per game.

In summary, we thank you for your system. Not just because we won a bunch of games, but also for the easy and fun practices, the smiles on the parents and players faces, and for the compliments we received from opposing coaches and parents when they would tell us how sharp and disciplined our team was. Thanks for the tools that allowed us to have such a wonderful season.

God Bless,
Brian Flemming-Valdosta, Ga

I just wanted to share with you our success for the season using your system. I had never been a head football coach before and, in fact, had only one disastrous season of experience in coaching football. I was the defensive coordinator of a youth team that won its first game 6-0, then proceeded to lose its next 10 in a row, many in the 28-0 range. I knew as a first year head coach that I needed a lot of help in choosing offensive and defensive schemes that would work at the youth level without having great athletes. More than that, I needed a program that would guide me step-by-step through the process of becoming a head coach, creating assignments for assistants, practice planning, specific drills for the offensive and defensive systems, game planning and adjustment, and finally game management. I found your website, ordered some materials, went to your clinic in Atlanta and hopped on board the Cisar Train!

We had 17 of our 22 kids as first year players, and were not particularly fast, big or talented. So, how did we do? Well…The Matthews Athletic & Recreation Association Mitey Mite Blue Colts finished the season on an eight game win streak and a went 9-1 for the year, with a win in our association’s inaugural bowl game! The first game turned many of the doubters into believers…our first offensive play of the season (16 Power) went 62 yards, untouched, to the end zone and we routed our opponent, 33-0. We led 27-0 at the half, had four different kids score TDs, and three others score extra points! We led every game the entire season, only trailing a total of 2:01 in the game we lost by one point. We also scored on our first possession of every game, except one. We had a 17 play, 90 yard scoring drive and eight other scoring drives in excess of 12 plays. We typically ran 25% more offensive plays than our opponents because we controlled the ball so well.

All 22 kids on the team got to carry the ball at least once this season and we had 13 kids scored touchdowns or extra points. My goal before the season was to have every kid want to sign up to play football again next season, and every kid will! I took your advice about putting fun into practice by using fun, competitive games and drills and the boys loved them, especially tackle baseball (and we had some HUGE hits!)

And, I also want to thank you for answering all my emails in such a timely manner. Your advice via email probably won two of our games this season. Great stuff coach! I can’t wait until the Atlanta clinic next year!

Our Rookie Team adopted your system this season. We are 10-1 with 10 shut outs and have scored an average of 31 points a game on offense. We have scored 344 points and only allowed 7 points in 11 games. I love the options that this offense gives you. It is a relatively simple but effective plan. Our 1 loss was to the team we play this Saturday but they haven't seen the version of the jet we have planned for them. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for everything!

Kevin and I (also Kevin) met you in Reno last year. We ran your Single Wing again and went 6-1-2 on the season. We coach the Chico Jaguars in Chico CA. Our age group is 7-9.Thank you for your time last April. We hope you will be at the Clinic of Champions again.

2009 COACH, I PURCHASED YOUR TAPES AND BOOK THIS SEASON. OUR TEAM HAD AN OFF THE CHARTS SEASON AND WONDERFUL EXPIERENCE. OUR PLAYERS JUST LOVE TO RUN THIS OFFENSE. OUR 4TH GRADE AYF TEAM WON OUR REGION AND WENT ON TO WIN A NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIP IN MAINE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. Merry Christmas Coach

JAMES, SANSONE- ORANGE, CT

2009 My name is Jerry Gillespie and I am the head coach for the 2nd grade Northwest Peewee football team here on the north side of FT Worth TX. The 2008 football season was my first in this league/ We went 11-1 and won the super bowl, against the only team that had beaten us by the score of 24-20. This season was our first experience of running the single wing, and there were several coaches that lead us to your program. We stayed very close to the guidelines that you laid out and it paid off, that and having 20 1st graders that were more aggressive than many 4th grade teams I watched.

Our 2nd grade team was chosen threw a draft system (just 6 boys from last years team got to be retained by us). We continued to run our offense as you have it in the book. Our players really took it on well and did a super job, beating our first 3 teams by the score of 88-0. Fast forward to the Super bowl- The first half was a very good defensive battle, we went into half time at 0-0. The second half we stayed our course and ended up wining 22-0.

The thing I am most proud of when you look at our scores for this season is the total score. We outscored our opponents 182-18 (only two teams scored on us), what this tells me is that we had a good bunch of aggressive athletes. Our defense set the tone.

This excellent season goes back to the many things you talk about on your letters. We started with a very good staff. We chose very wisely in the draft and had some really good and fun athletes and the best part of it all was we had good parents that did not cause any internal issues, and got their son to practice to learn and love the game.

I spoke with another buddy of mine that lives and coaches in Lawton OK, 6 graders and he has had similar results with your program, we all agree…. Hail Coach Dave.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year, Fort Worth, TX

2009 Dave,

This past season I was 7th Grade Head Coach of the Byron Tigers Jr Tackle Program. This was my second year as head coach. I started with these boys when they were in 5th grade. That season we went 1-6-1. Not good at all. I was named head coach the following season (6th grade) and the boys turned it around a little and went 4-3-1. I decided that 4-3-1 wasn't good enough for these kids, I needed to do a better job. I decided to attend the Frank Glazier clinic in Chicago. I went to all of your sessions, took away A LOT of information. Practice organization was a huge huge deal to me. I don't however run your offense. Everthing outside of your offense I took and ran with it. We finished 8-1 3rd place in our league. We averaged 25 pts a game and gave up only 5 pts a game. So I just wanted to say thank you for what you do. I hope other youth coaches take some of your advice, I think they will be better because of it.

Craig Spickler--Byron, IL

2009 Dave,

First of all thanks for helping us dads out with a terrific offense,this was my second year as head football coach for an undersized 7th grade team in Arvada, Colorado and we play in a highly competitive league. The history of our team was not good from when they started at 3rd grade through the 6th grade we won a total of 1 game in 3 years, and it was the same old cliche our kids weren't big enough and they weren't fast enough they couldn't tackle or wasn't aggressive, boy what the real problem was we were just bad coaches and making excuses for our pride, we ran the double wing with no avail, we ran the I formation and the wishbone yep you guessed it (poorly) we had plays with no offense our kids were getting laughed at by scores of 50 and 60 to zip. Then we did some research on offenses ran in youth football and we came across yours (winning youth football) and I was skeptic to be honest, but I said lets give it a shot bought the series of dvd's and you would of thought that we were geniuses. In 2007 we didn’t win a game and scored just 14 total points in the whole year with giving up well over 200 on defense. We were happy with a first down let alone a touchdown. This year we went 4-4 and lost some heartbreakers and even made the playoffs and got another win there.Thank you for a great system and this is just no youth offense it can be ran at anylevel.

Sincerly Coach Ken Billips – Arvada, CO

2009 This is the first time I have written to you, but I have been using your system for three years. Using your system, I took a complete rookie team of 8 year olds to a 6-3 record in 2007. This same team moved up a division and we ended 2008 with a 7-2 record as 9 year olds and qualified for the playoffs. This year our

2009 team was predominately 10 year olds and we ended the regular season 9-0 and were ranked #2 out of 33 teams in the football league. We averaged a little over 28 points per game while allowing and average of 6. Great system!!!! I recommend it to any youth football coach looking for a simple and efffective system to coach youth players. I look forward to the upcoming clinic in St. Louis......

2009 Hello coach Dave my name is Johnny King I am a defensive coach for the Fairgrove Tigers little league football team. My brother-in-law Shawn Norton is the Head coach. We started coaching 3 years ago in the pee-wee division Fairgrove had never had a pee-wee team. I can’t help but laugh fore our first year was not very good, we would find ourselves at work drawing up plays on napkins, what a mistake. Well the season ended we did manage to win 2 games.

Well during the off-season Shawn came to me with your single-wing offense and of course the skeptic that I am I said “Shawn are you crazy the kids will never be able to remember all the assignments”. But here we go “year two”. We have 25 kids sign up and our goal is to win 4 games. Well coach Dave win did win 4 games…… and then we won 4 more games……and another one. Ok coach I’m sure you are still with me but just in case here it is, we are sitting at 9-0 going into the Championship game. We did lose the championship game 6-0 but, coming off a 2 win season our whole team was elated.

It is now “Year 3”

2009, We have decided to move up to little league as a coaching staff. Well coach Dave the little league has not been too much to talk about since 1999 only winning 1-2 games a year. The booster club President said “ That crap you guys run will never work in little league. The kids are too big and too fast.” Well he had been better off talking to a wall because we are believers. Well we started off slow losing our first game. But then we got on a little bit of a run winning our next 3. Then we lost another one but won our last one. So we are at 4-2 going into the playoffs!!!!!! We are a 5 seed with a tough run through but we knew if we could stay strong they couldn’t beat us! And guess what- The Fairgrove Tigers are our

2009 County Champions!

But without Shawn Norton and his intense dedication and love for the game I know, I know we would not be the team we are today. Coach Dave that is why I think Shawn should be considered for coach of the year.

2009 Our 6,7 and 8 year old team finished the season 5-2-1. We were very concerned at the beginning of the season we only had 2 out of 16 boys that had ever played organized football. We lost 2 of our first 3 games. We used your defensive scheme from the very beginning and as the boys became more and more comfortable with the system we got better and better. We defeated one of our out of town rivals that had not lost a game in two seasons. Our defense completely shut them down. Thank you.

Mike Mayfield

2009 Hey Dave,

I own your program and had a great year. We went 5-1, ran the 6-2 "D" and sainted six very well, and even got the spinner series in later in the year. Our team was made up of 17 4th grade kids, 100% rookies, in a 4th and 5th grade league. Our only loss was to a team of mostly 5th graders. Thanks.

2009 Dear Dave:

I am a 4th year head coach of a team in Springfield, Illinois called the Steelers. Our 1st year k-1 Supermite team didn’t win a game and scored only about 4 touchdowns all year. In my third year, we purchased your product and implemented the single wing. We implemented the single wing based in large part on your advertising because it would address three goals we had: (1) have an offensive scheme, not just plays; (2) increase our scoring and (3) have an offense we could grow into as the kids got older and could retain and execute more plays. We are currently achieving those goals.

Last year we were 7 and 2, losing to the same team in the regular season and the bowl game. Our team had two equally matched offensive units who would play about a half each and we averaged over 20 points per game. This year we were 10 and 1, only loosing to a “select” team in an early season tournament in Missouri. We averaged about 28 points a game, but only because we would take out our first string backfield if we were up by 3 touchdowns in the first half or 2 touchdowns in the second half.

In closing, as hard as it may be to believe, we are the only team that runs the single wing in our league. The other coaches have told me they hate it because their players are literally guessing half the time where the ball is. The bottom line is (1) the kids had a good year and had fun playing football; (2) the parents were happy with the team results and the playing time because it was relatively equal between the starters and second unit due to the level of competition; and (3) the players actually improved their football skills considerably. As the head coach, I couldn’t be happier.

2009- Hi Coach Dave, We took our league by storm this year and did quite well. We reach the Super Bowl final game for the 2nd year in a row but lost again. Very disappointing!!! Overall, the year was very good and we finished 13-2. Thanks for everything. You have created a great product that works to perfection when implemented properly.

Coach Drew Codner- Milford Ohio Youth Football

2009- We were fortunate to pull it off this year and provide our kids a Plano Football League D-4 championship. We ended the regular season 5-3 loosing 3 tight games in the regular season. Beat the number one ranked team 20-0 in the first round and went on to beat last years champion 22-6 in the championship game. By the way, last years winner has been running the single wing for two years.

Looking back the adjustments and pounding blocking and tackling fundamentals made the difference. Not to mention wonderful kids that listened and came to practice with a great attitude.

Thanks Again

Shaun Williamson, Dallas, TX

2009 - The 3rd grade Texans had another successful season (9-1) and earned a trip back to the Super bowl which unfortunately we lost by a single point (7-6). For perspective, we were undefeated in the regular season. During our season, we shut 6 teams out, held 3 teams to no first downs is the entire game and only gave up 6 points. In most games, we scored on our first 3 offensive possessions and had such a large lead at half-time that we had to "stall" in the second half and stop using our starting running backs.

Over the past two years in two of the most competitive leagues in North Dallas, the Texans are undefeated during the regular season with a combined record of 15-0 and we have outscored our opponents during those games by a combined 441-24.

We couldn't have done it without your system and counseling, thanks a million!

Coach Dan Schmidt, Dallas, Texas

2009- We are still in season as we made the playoffs and have a game this Saturday. We are 6 – 2 - Last season we were 4-5 - The games we lost were close and the little details got us. My kids are 8-9 years old and we are a third grade team. We play for San Antonio Christian School. Nice thing is we consistently have outplayed our 4th grade team during little games we play now and again as a reward for our boys practicing hard. The Single Wing works against these older, faster, and bigger kids. They really just cant stop it.

God Bless and Merry Christmas

David Johnson- Head Coach for 9U Division San Antonio Christian School Lions

2009 Great newsletters Coach Dave!. As for our season, we went from an 0-8 team last year scoring only 1 touchdown all season long to a 5-5 record this season and a playoff berth. Although we didn’t fare well in the playoffs, our boys were on cloud 9 just to get to the playoffs, especially our returners from last season. Thanks again for this great concept. I’ve just about got our entire league sold on it.

We completed our second season using Winning Youth Football System this year. We had many challenges this season but still managed to finish 5-3. Our season was highlighted by a victory over the eventual Super Bowl winner late in the season. This was a tough year as I have moved from a recreational league to a select league due to the "good old boyism" that runs rampant in the rec leagues here in Tarrant County. My first challenge was even having enough kids to compete. We ended up with a line that averaged under 80 lbs and several kids that had never played football before. The teams we competed against would regularly have linemen in 120-135 lb range and would choose from the 75+ kids that would show up to their try outs. The point is this, we faced adversity which is exactly what you want as a coach. We transformed from a team that had kids who would literally run away from their blockers on defense and stand and stare instead of blocking on offense into a crab blocking hard charging little single wing machine!! I am here to tell you that I am so proud of our kids and the dedication that they demonstrated throughout the season. Instead of quitting and saying "we can't compete with these guys" they got better every week of the season. We ended up playing in an after the season tournament and defeated another select squad who had won their leagues Super Bowl. The other two teams in our organization were both coached by former NFL players who demanded that I run "pro-style" sets. They coached the 4th and 6th grade squads. Their combined record? They went 1-15 combined for both teams competing in the same league. I think that this is a noteworthy as an endorsement of the WYF system. Do I know more football than former NFL players? Certainly not! But thanks to the information gathered here and from your book I do know more about coaching youth football.

2009 All 19 Stallion teams have been using Dave's system for 3 years. The Stallions where founded 4 years ago. All 105 plus coaches are required to purchase their own book and tapes. It is mandatory every team runs the single wing, no exceptions. All the coaches have been to at least one of Dave's LIVE clinics and most have attended 2 live clincs. Dave has made this too easy to use. We have had coaches with zero football coaching experience and they all find it very easy to follow and have had successful seasons.

Over my 35 plus years in youth football this is by far the easiest to coach and the easiest for the players to understand. Of our 19 teams 6 teams where made up of all 1st year players. Of the 13 teams 5 made it to the superbowl in a very competitive no weight limit league.

2009- My name is M.C. Cournoyer. I am the head coach of the Burrillville Patriots Jr. Pee-Wee team in Rhode Island. Last year I was coached a 7,8, and 9 year old team. We ran the I formation and weren't very successful. I can't tell you how many times we fumbled the snap but, it was alot! Our record was 1-7. This year I moved to head coach. I bought your book and complete set of dvds and also attended your clinic in Danvers Mass.

We ended up going 7-3 this year and our kids had alot more fun!!!! I had MANY doubters about the single wing but, they all came around once we started winning. We only had 1 lost fumble the whole year!!!! The 6-2 defense was great too. It allowed me to have the weaker kids in the A gaps and seeing as I had about 8 kids who played that position they were able to rotate in and out and I didn't get many complaints about playing time. We averaged 20 points a game on offense and our defense gave up an average of 8 points a game. I just wanted to let you know that we used your system and it helped us create a winning team.

2009 Coach Cisar,

I just wanted to let you know how my 10 year old team played this year using your Single Wing offense. We finished 9-0-1 and won our Division Championship in the Suffolk County, NY PAL Football League. I have been coaching youth football for 11 years and for the last 6 years had used the Double Wing offense with a fair amount of success with 9-13 year olds. Last year this team was 4-5-1. I made the switch to the Single Wing after reveiwing your playbook and DVD's. I liked the fact that the base formation was unbalanced with tight splits. The G.O.D. blocking rules with double teams, pulling linemen and kick out blocking is very similar to the double wing. I loved that Wedge was still a big part of the offense. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 16 Power play hit faster than the Double Wing Super Power with just as much power. This offense was easier to teach to the kids. I also liked all the adjustments like "Nasty, Tunnel, G and No" made it easier to attack the defense based on what they were giving us or taking away. We installed the Sainted Six, Mouse, Burst and Spread Rocket series. Our offense this season scored 207 points and we gave up only 37 points in 10 games. As an experienced and sucessful youth coach I was very happy coaching with the system and I would recommend your Single Wing offense to any youth coach who wants to improve his teams performance.

2009- Our 11-12 year old football team here in Landrum South Carolina had a great year going 13-3, winning our Super Bowl plus playing and winning another Super Bowl from a different community. Last year our team went 10-3 using the your Single Wing Offense for the 1st time coming up short in the Super Bowl by a td. Before using your system, we were hardly a 500 team. In 2 years of running his system by the book on offense and defense we have a 23-6 record winning 2 midseason tournaments , 2 regular season Championships, and 2 Super Bowls. The best high points of the season is one particular team we were playing told me after the game that when they first saw us, how small we were compared to his team very big and fast , he just knew they would crush us. But after we started running all over them, he thought what in the world is happening. He said he wants to learn our system and use it next year. All I can say without your system we would have been in the same boat, THANK YOU COACH CISAR!!!!!! from the LANDRUM MAJOR CARDINALS

2009 Coach Dave, Coach Jeff, Coach Dave and myself have been together now three years. We all started out as assistant coaches three years ago when our sons were 2nd graders. The head coach was not very good that year and the team did not win one game. The next year that coach moved on and Coach Jeff became the Head Coach. As soon as I accepted the position I started researching offenses and defenses to teach at the youth level. I felt like there was something better out there than what the kids had been taught in their first two years. I wanted to teach the kids something new, something exciting, and something that gave them the best chance of winning. I felt like I was on the right track when I found your website winningyouthfootball.com. I went ahead and ordered the Winning Youth Football book and found out I was right. The Single Wing Offense you teach was exactly what I wanted.

I read the book twice before we even began the player evaluations and draft. Once we drafted the team we had only two and a half weeks until our first game. We worked hard teaching the kids the Sainted Six plays and I felt confident in the teams ability to execute on game day. Opening game, we scored 3 TD's on our first four offensive plays from scrimmage. We opened our season with a 36-0 win. Our team never looked back. We went on to finish a perfect 11-0 and won our 4th grade Championship. During the season we outscored our opponents 254-37. Each game the score allowed us to pull our starting backfield after one possession in the 3rd quarter. I had 5 "stripers" who could not carry the ball because of weight. The remaining 11 kids all carried the ball with 8 of them scoring TDs. Some of those kids had never carried the ball in pervious years. It was a special season for all the players, the parents, and coaches.

The highlight of the season for me was right after we won the Championship. The boys lined up on the field and I got the pleasure of presenting their 1st place trophies and shaking their hand. To see the pride and happiness on those faces meant everything to us as coaches. Thank you for everything you put into Youth Football. You are helping coaches like me to be better. You are making a bigger difference in young mens lives than I think you'll ever begin to realize.

Coach Ken Hanson

2009 Hey Dave, I am the Head Coach of the “Red Titans” Junior Pee Wee team in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The previous two years, I had been coaching at the lower Mighty Mite level and compiled a 17-3 record, running your system, with a very undersized team. As we moved up to Jr Pee Wee, everybody expected us to struggle severely, because of our small and young team. Half of my kids were 9 yrs old and half were 10. We didn’t have any 11 yr olds on the team, which is a huge factor. The avg weight on our team was 79lbs, and we only had 3 players that were 90lbs or above.

I had heard horror stories of teams that were undefeated in Mighty Mite, but only won 2-3 games when they moved up to JPW, and I was kind of expecting the worst. Coming into the season, none of the staff thought we had much of a chance of making the playoffs, and all agreed that if we could go .500 on the year, it would be a wildly successful season. As it turns out, we did much better than expected. We went 4-3 in the regular season, with two of the losses being heart-breakers (7-6, and 6-0), to teams that I really think we coulda beat.

In the first round of playoffs we ended up having to play the same undefeated stacked team that had crushed us earlier in the season. This time however, we played them very tough and became the first team to score on them the entire SEASON. After our opening round playoff loss, we went into the consolation bracket and we ended up beating 2 very good teams. We ended the year with a respectable 6-4 record, a playoff berth, and several wins over quality playoff teams. Our season exceeded the coaches expectations and far exceeded the expectations of most outsiders. We averaged 27 pts/game and gave up an avg of 8 pts/game.

This was the first year that I ran the Jet Series as a late season addition, but it worked great. It gave us a whole new dimension and was a big part of our playoff success, especially in our 2 rematch games. Well, that’s my story. It was a great year, and your system continues to work great.

Darren Somo- Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

2009 Hey Coach, My name is Shawn Norton and I coach the Little League (10-11 ) Fair Grove Tigers. Let me first give you a little back story, before I tell you how we did this season.

I started coaching the Pee Wee team (8-9) in 2007. Our first year we had 17 kids and started the season 0-5. We scored only 2 touchdowns in those 5 games (using a wishbone attack) and I was just about to be run out of town. I hit the research trail and came across your website and saw some of your videos. I was sold. I ordered the book and read it cover to cover several times. My assistants were all skeptical, but I think they saw how committed I was to the Single Wing and came on board. We started with just the sainted six, and the 6-2 defense. We put in the Mesh series, the Buck Wedge Series and the Mouse series. We weren’t terribly fast but our wedge was unstoppable and started the season 9-0 before losing in the championship game to a team that chooses 30 from over 100 players every year.

The strange thing was, as much success as we were having, I couldn’t stop thinking about the kids from my first year. They were now going into their 6th grade year and last with our organization. They were coming off a 2-6 season and had never experienced any success. I also felt I had let them down the year before. To make a long story short, after asking 3 different coaches and being turned down 3 times he finally let me have a try. We put in the sainted 7 (added 16 Pass far), Wedge series, Burst series, Spinner Series and Jet series. The parents still had their reservations about me from our previous time together, and the odd look to our formation had the skepticism at an all time high. But we did have some success in a few scrimmages.

We finished the regular season 4-2. We made the playoffs for the first time in a decade and had scored more than 30 points in all of our wins. The first round of the playoffs we had to play the same team that had beaten us in the first game. In a very tough physical game we came out on top 20-12. Our spinner series was our bread and butter and we scored all 3 of our TDs with it. The second round brought the team that had given us our second loss. They went out to an early 6-0 lead. We scored on our first drive going predominantly jet. We onsides the kickoff(MOB) and recovered. Went Spinner 32 on the next play for a 50 yard score and went on to win 18-6.

As excited as we were, the Championship game brought the #1 seed perennial powerhouse. This team was 8-0, with 8 shutouts on the season. A very well coached team with 50 players on the squad. We started the game with 5 consecutive 22 Wedge plays. We then ran a 16 Wedge for 40 yard score. They never recovered from the devastating wedge and went on to steal the game and the Championship 14-6. On the season we scored 35 touchdowns and only allowed 6 points a game with our starting defense. I am forever grateful to you and your system, I am so happy to be able to give these kids a taste of success.

Shawn K. Norton- Greensboro NC

2009 Dear Dave, I first want to thank you for "Winning Youth Football". I was introduced to your program from my friend John Gentry. John introduced me to your DVD series back in May 2009. Our small town of just over 3000 has been a member of the "Greater Snohomish County Youth Football League" which has teams from towns ranging in size from ours to cities of 100,000 people. We've had a hard time competing in most years past. I was a bit worried about being "creamed" game in and game out. So in June of this past year (2009), I started reading your book "Winning Youth Football...A Step by Step Plan". And I thought to myself this could be just the niche this little town needs to compete and maybe even beat some of these other much larger towns.

So I drafted my team with the "Single Wing" offense in mind. And Dave, I followed your plan pretty religiously, especially out of the shoot. Again Dave you have to understand that every year prior to this one we were 2-5 or 1-6 or 0-7. And everybody would be so demoralized. There had just developed what I called "The Granite Falls Attitude", which was a losing posture that I was just not willing to accept or embrace. We won our first 2 games 13-6 vs The Sultan Pirates (Red Team), and then 26-0 vs The Lake Stevens Rams. We had never even beat a Lake Stevens team let alone shut them out. We played The Sultan Black Pirates and beat them 31-13, in a game were we really dominated but especially in the second half. We were tied 13-13 @ half and using your awesome onside kicking strategy and recovered the opening kick of the second half and rolled from there. Our next game was against The Lake Stevens Huskies, a team that had destroyed us the year before. But not this year. The score was 6-0 just before the end of the first half. We had the ball on their 7 yd line on the last play of the half. I called a 38 Buck Wedge Pass my Wingback was wide open and so we went into half 13-0, and rolled to a 27-0 victory. The second shutout of a Lake Stevens Team. We ended up a great season at 4-3. 2 more wins than we had ever had. We were only the 3rd GS's Team to make the playoffs in the past 15 years. Pretty crazy huh?

So there you have it Dave. It was an incredible year. The football was fun, but pastoring my boys was awesome. It was an awesome experience that I'll cherish a long time. And I thank you, Dave, so much, for helping it all come to fruition. "Winning Youth Football" just works, and transformed our Granite Falls, WA way of playing football.

Thanks again, and may God bless you for all you do. You're a good man, Dave Cisar.

2009- Hey Coach, Just wanted to drop you a note about our second season running your system. 3 years ago this team went 0-8. Last year we went 8-2, won our division and made the first round of city playoffs. This year was tremendous. We had 8 returning players that ran your system the previous year so it was a strong nucleus.

We finished the regular season at 8-1. We had to win a "play in" scenario to get into the city playoffs. We defeated two different teams in two seperate halves to advance to the first round. That game ended up being against the other Junior Pee Wee team in our park. They were undefeated and wanted to beat us all year. We practiced right next to one another all year long. We shocked them 20 - 0! The 22 wedge was unstoppable. Our OL and DL was fantastic! Next, City Championship. We beat another undefeated team 22-14! Here we are a year later as City Champs! Up next, yep,another undefeated team from the Tampa area. We travel down and win again 22-14! Both teams played disciplined and with heart. The following week, we traveled to Tallahassee to face yet another undefeated team! We won hands down 32-0!! They had no idea who had the ball and what hit them....Spinner plays and 16 power Nasty worked like a charm. Up next, semifinal game back in Jacksonville. We're up 16-6 with a chance to play for the State title in a week and let it slip through our fingers. Our kids fought all the way to the end and we wound up giving it away, 18-16. I can't thank you enough for your system. It's simple and easy to coach. Like last year, the kids loved it. 8 different players scored touchdowns. Our defense was outstanding. All 31 kids stuck with it, bought in, and promise to return next year. I can't wait...

Thanks,
Todd Wilchar- Jacksonville Normandy Cowboys

2009 Dave, I attended the workshop you held in Los Angeles. We went 12-0 this year with 8 veterans on a 31 man roster. We used your practice principles, thanks for the help. De Andre' Parks - Pasadena, CA

2009 Dave, I wanted to give you a little background about our last 2 seasons, although not worst to first, it was pretty close. Last year was the first year for our organization joining an established 10 team association. I was selected as Mitey Mite (ages 7-9) head coach my first year as head coach. We were able to run sainted six, mouse, spinner and jet. Our homerun plays were Spinner 26 Power, 33 Trap, Rocket 28 and Laser 47 Sweep and our favorite pass play was Double Mouse 16 Pass with the pass going to the Left WB. We finished our regular season with a record of 10-1 but lost in the championship game to finish in second place at 10-2. Here is a sample of how much we improved by the numbers:

We improved from 18 touchdowns scored to 44. One of the things that I was most proud of was that we let every offensive lineman (we have 12) carry the ball at least twice during the season. With your system, once the basics are mastered it is easy to interchange players at different positions and run the same play from multiple formations or looks. This makes it more fun for the kids as they don’t bored as easily, especially when we mix in Deer Hunter, Sumo and Towel game. Thanks for providing a great step by step plan and hope to see you at your Concord clinic. Jim Adam- Concord, California.

2009 Coach Dave, After suffering through a 1-4 start with our spread passing offense and only 13 point scored, our head coach finally decided that he was going to let me implement the single wing offense I purchased from you. We finished the regular season with 4 victory's ending up 5-5. Our team scored on avg 34 pts per game over the last 4 games with 7 different kids reaching the end zone. Though we were limited in our first two games after implementation, our kids picked up on the concept fairly quick. We have put in the Sainted 6, the mouse, buck and spinner series. With our week off we are now working on the rocket series. Even though our head coach won't admit it, trying to run the SW has been a big success compared to trying to run a passing offense with 10yr olds!!

Thanks,
John Perouty

2009 Dave, We are going into the playoffs. This season we finished with a 9-1 record running your system. Last season we went 10-0 only to be ousted by a select team from Vancouver Island.

2009 Coach Dave: This season we implemented both your Winning Youth Football wide tackle six defense and single wing offense with both our JV and Varsity teams. After reading your Winning Youth Football: Step By Step Plan book, watching your instruction DVDs, and attending your Cincinnati, OH clinic, we were able to implement the system and incorporate character training during breaks each week with great success. The practice methodology flat out works! Our kids had fun while being attentive and engaged during practices. As a result they were very well prepared and came together as a “Team” quicker than any of our previous teams. Mental mistakes were at a minimum all season long which was a huge advantage for our teams.

Our JV (8-10 yr. old) team finished the season 5-1. Our Varsity (10-12 yr. old) team finished the season a perfect 8-0 with a Superbowl Championship! We averaged 32 points per game while allowing 12 points. Many of the comments made in your book about the various series and the effects they have on opposing defenses proved to be true for us. “Fear the Wedge” became our battle cry going into every game while the spinner series turned many a defenders' head trying to find the ball carrier. If there is such a thing as a perfect season, this would be the one and your system provided the foundation for our success. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

2009 Hi Coach: Just wanted to thank you for promoting such a good system for youth football. My pee wee (1st-3rd grade) team in Portland, ME ended up 6-0 and beat two other southern Maine undefeated teams in the end-of-season round robin tournament. Your system was a perfect fit for our kids, and it was telling that 2 other pee wee teams went to direct snap offenses after playing us. We ended up scoring 40 touchdowns and allowing 5 with a straight 6-2 defense, a testament. The best part of this entire season was the fact that I started a 5 yr old and two very young, weak 6 yr olds every game of the season on offense and defense in positions that allowed them to play and not get hurt, and every player who wanted to ran the ball at least a couple of times this year.

I wish you and your players much success and happiness.

2009- We finished up 8-0 and were league and harvest bowl champions 2 years in a row 6-7 year olds. Combined record of 18-3 with your offense thanks for everything looking forward to next year. Thats with having the last pick in the draft 2 years in a row.

We were all first year coaches . Shelton Gun Potter / Raccoon Red Devils (Hopewell twp / Aliquippa ,Pa) 6, 7 and 8 year olds

2009 Dave- My 5-6 year old team went 7-2. Love your stuff. My two sons won it all ! 10-0 winning the league championship . this has been our greatest season ever !" Paul Flati- Potter / Raccoon –Twerps

2009 Our championship game was yesterday and we won our third straight title since running your program. Our youngest team had won the title the previous two years but came in 2nd to a team that changed to this system on the 2nd week of the season when our team dominated them 53-0 with your offense. They picked it up fast and used it to win the championship after finishing 2nd to us the previous two years. I guess that falls in the "if you can't beat them join them" saying. I met you at the Seattle clinic and just wanted to tell you again, thank you for turning a losing program into a championship program. Butch Marx Head Coach - Port Townsend, WA Braves

2009 Hi coach Dave, it’s me Mark from West Bridgewater Ma. This past winter I was playing around with the computer looking up things and I typed in “ football plays” and your web site came up, it was like the sky was opening up... THE SINGLE WING OFFENSE , we put it in by the book. NOW with that same bunch of kids that I started with down with the Mites and last year with them getting the snot kicked out of them, this year running the SINGLE WING with the same kids we are NOW 11/8/09 going to the Super Bowl....It's been a long road. I thank you.

Coach Mark Lucia- West Bridgewater, Ma

2009 Last year this 8-9 year old team went 0-7, losing most games by 3 touchdowns and scoring only 4 TD's all year. We scored 5 in our first game and went 5-2 this year, tied for first place. We played 8-man though but, still used single wing and wide tackle defense! My son was on the 0-7 team last year and coaching him this year to so many wins was priceless. I think I will move up and coach with him next year. Thank you for everything.

Michael P. Haedt

2009 Greetings, I purchased your CD-ROM and transposed it to 8 man flag football (10 year olds). Anyway we went 8-1 (beat the team we lost to early), avg. over 200 yard rushing a game (80 yard field) and basically ran circles around the competition. Just wanted to thank you for your clear layout and great info. The parent/player contracts are great and your general enthusiasm is much appreciated. Kind Regards, Chris Lemieux

2009 We ended up 7-1 with our only loss coming the first game of the season.. I received only positive comments on the system that I ran which is of course the Single Wing based on your book and dvds.

Thanks again for your willingness to communicate and advise along the way.

Dave Beck, Illinois

2009 Coach, I thought I would add to the praise your system gets based on our experience. We were 8-2 (third place) last year and league champions - but we had two incredible players. One running back that seemed fine running without lead blocking.....he seemed to do that himself....the kind of kid who craves contact. We lost the Provincial Semi-Final and watched the team that beat us get obliterated by a team using your system in the Final. We looked it up on the internet and bought the book and all the DVDs and attended your Seattle clinic in June.

This year we have a team without any stars....no standout players or fast kids...and we have just finished the regular season 9-1 (first place). And we have scored like crazy this year....390 points in 10 games. We don't try to run up the score, and have had as many as 13 players run the ball in a game, but they keep scoring. The system showed why it is so great again this past weekend when we played the third place team....in what we expected to be a close game. We won 50-6 - compared to our 14-8 loss last year week 10 to the same team.

I am excited going into the playoffs because it all seems to be coming together now....they just keep running it better and better.

Thanks Coach!

2009 Hello Coach Dave, At the risk of sounding like a broken record, THANK YOU for helping our 8- 9 y/o team have a fun and successful year. The boys had a blast learning and running the potent offense and shutdown defense. We were the smallest team in the 11 member league, had only 15 players, virtually no coaching experience, and only 1 home game. We outscored the opposition 217-51 and went 8-0 winning the league championship. We lead all age divisions (about 70 teams) in scoring. Following your books, DVDs, and blogs to the letter we went about 16-18 plays deep into the playbook, adding the spinner series for the playoff run with devastating results. We averaged 8.5 yds on 16Pwr, 14.0 on 18Swp, 12.0 on 31Trp, and 22.5 on "Flip" 17. The wedge routinely left carnage in its wake. 32W "fumble" and spinner 32W were the guys' favorites. Practices were short, fun, and easy, emphasizing pace and technique, not pushups and cross country.

If mimicry is the highest form of flattery, we were honored, though a bit surprised, when one of our rivals came out in our offense and defense (bearcrawlers and all!) in the first round of the playoffs. We had a running clock in the second half but the jig was up.

Thanks again, Larry Landwehr

2009 Coach, I want to thank you for making your system available. I had a good time learning, teaching and running it this year. I operate and coach a Pop Warner league in Norfolk, Virginia. I normally coach 12 year olds and up but this year I went back down to coach the 7-9 year olds. We finished the season 8-1. We beat a team that has not lost a game in two years. By the end of the season, the line was clicking so well that I could put my quicker lineman in the backfield and run for good yardage. The kids really enjoyed it and my other divisions are looking at implementing. We averaged 22 points a game and the defense gave up and average 3 pts a game. Coach, I have to tell you that you were right on point with the skepticism from my coaches, players and parents about the offense but they do believe now.

2009 Coach my annual uprdate: My group of boys have gone 23-0 over the last 2 years and have won back to back Super Bowl Championships! Thanks

Steven Esposito

2009 Coach, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how we did this season. We finished up 8-1, our only loss was to a MUCH bigger program, we are a (AA) and they were a (AAA) team, they had more boys come out for football than we have in our entire school. We went on into the playoffs and ran the table for our second straight TMSAA East Tennessee Championship. We are 19-1 the last 2 seasons with back to back titles. We are either running your system to the letter with certain groups or adapting to a balanced line with other groups. I coach middle school ball and dress 60 kids I have 3 teams. Back to back District Titles and back to back East TN titles.

Thanks again,
Heath Sexton

2009 Just wanted to let you know we pulled it off, winning the super bowl yesterday 13-0. I used your system for 2 years now, last year 10-3, and this year 12-3 and winning it all. Boys had a great time and loved the system and the winning ways. Most teams faster and bigger but with your syste , we had the advantage. One coach told me when he saw us, wow we will win this game ugly, they are so small. Then when we started playing he thought oh my gosh, what a team. For some reason they want our super bowl champions from each age group to play the super bowl champions from another district.

THANK YOU COACH for 22-6 record the last 2 years with a super bowl victory.

David Edwards

2009 Dave, Thanks for the DVD. Your explanations were clear and the D scheme worked great for our 8 year old anklebiter team. Our team put in the system and started playing aggressive D. It really made a difference. The team made it to the championship game.

Thanks again,
Bill Ferzoco

2009 Hey coach, I just wanted to let you know how our season wrapped up. As you know, I bought the entire package over last off-season in anticipation of being a rookie head coach for this season. I needed something to guide me from start to finish, from grading and drafting players to practice plans to offensive/defensive systems to game day adjustments. Your program gave me the tools I needed to put our boys in position to be successful. And, man, were we successful!

Our group of boys (ages 7-9) were mostly all new to football. We had only 4 returning players from a group of 22, and their season was not a winning one. We finished 9-1 on the season, with our lone loss by one point (13-12) . We scored on either our first play or first drive in 9 games, a HUGE advantage at this age group. We routinely averaged 250+ yards per game and only one team gained more than 100 on us.Everyone on the team got to carry the ball at least once and we had 10 different kids score touchdowns offensively. We average winning 22-8 and called off the dogs many times.

One of the coaches of our older kids also had me join his team as a "consultant" to install the single wing. They did a great job, turning a 1-4 record at that point into a 5-6 record. Thanks for a great system, and more importantly, being available via email to answer all my rookie questions.

2009 In 2007 I implemented your system and had a great season however, in 2008 as you already know, we went 12-0 with a super bowl title (97lb weight limit with 10 & 11 year olds). Well, 2009 showed to be another great year, going 12-0 again with a second super bowl title. Needless to say your system works. I also think it is funny that I took all kinds of grief, especially the first year when I used your system. Not only was I the first one to bring this offense to our league of over 1,500 kids, but our team is pure proof that with back to back super bowls (24-0) over a two year time frame along with having the best PF (points for) and the lowest PA (points against), your system really does work if followed correctly. Again, I just wanted to personally thank you for your efforts in putting the coaching materials together and sharing it with other coaches such as myself. I have coached youth football for over 9 years and I can say, I have found the right recipe. Winning is very fun by the way!

Best Regards,
Coach Ski, Geneva IL

2009 I am a Blue level coach (7-9 year old tackle) in Schaumburg, Illinois. I attended your clinic in Schaumburg and was so impressed with your offense and practice routine that I implemented it with my team this year. I just got back home this afternoon after winning our league championship and had to write you!! Your clinic was great and your book is awesome.

2009 Chris Jones Head Coach of 7&8 colts of the River City Youth football league in Columbus Ga . His record in 2008 was 0-8 after he and I studied the WYF system we went 11-3.Losing in the playoffs but that turn round has gotten us ready for next year. The biggest story of the season was that we had the same kids we had the previous year with a couple of first year players. Seventeen of our twenty one kids ran the football. We averaged twenty eight points a game gave up just over ten. To you I say thanks Dave!!

2009 We won our Championship Game (Mini Bowl) yesterday 14-6. It never gets old playing at Weber State Univ. It was a great defensive battle amongst two offensive powers battling it out. I guess the old saying is true, "offense wins games, but defense wins championships." The boys played great all year finishing with an 11-0 record. Thanks again Dave.

Josh Sube- Salt Lake City, Utah

2009 Dave-Had a good season. From scoring just 3 TDs a year ago and not winning a game in 3 yrs - we scored 154 pts this year! Kid's had a riot and we were very competitve in 6 of our 8 games. The best season we had in 4-5 yrs. Scored 90 pts in our last 3 games. Won the leagues sportsmanship award and was the most improved team! Not one kid quit! We can't wait for next season Tom McCormick Genessee Valley Bills - NY

2009 Last year my teams record was 1-6-1. Our team was so bad that the league didn't even want my coaching staff back. We were basically asked to leave the league. After we were fired, I took 3 coaches and 7 players with me to a different league. I spent about 6 months studying your book and my D.C. bought 2 of your DVD's and we watched them several times. Then we recruited 3 more coaches and gave each of them a clinic on the system. Our league consist of 8 teams and we all practiced on the same field. Right away everyone was staring and snickering at us. We were the only team with our helmets off and all of the games we played had our board of directors scratching their heads wondering why they gave me a team. However, it was very obvious to our coaches and parents that we were the only team that was learning anything during practice. We were also the only team having any fun. To add to the controversy we practiced less than everyone else.

Right from the 1st scrimmage we hit the ground running. The offense was amazing. When the season officially started it was scary how good we were so early in the season. We scored 4 TD's on our first 6 carries of the season. We ended up going 8-0. We shut out 4 teams and didn't even let our final opponent get a 1st down.I still can't believe we had a perfect season just by following a book. I have never even played football before. The 16 Power is just amazing. I would run it 6-8 times in a row. The opposing coaches would be screaming "they only have 1 play". I would think to my self "but you can't stop it". The only thing I can't understand is why I don't see any other teams running this system. We didn't just go from worst to first. We went from worst to greatness. I went from fired from one league to being sought after by 4 other for associations in my area. Winning Youth Football is a masterpiece!

2009 Coach Cisar, I was an assistant coach for the Raleigh Mitey Mite Redskins. I would also like to share my personal perspective, if you don’t mind indulging me for a few moments! But nothing in my entire athletic career has been as rewarding as this Redskins football season.

The Redskins had been the doormat of this league since their inception. In fact, the Redskins were 1-13 in the previous two seasons and have won only 6 or 7 games in their history. Not a child or parent wanted to be associated with this team. Not a soul even considered that the Redskins would be competitive this year. But fortunately for us, we were blessed with a great head coach. He scoured the Internet football world, and he found you.

Jay allowed me to view a few of your DVDs, and I was amazed at your coaching philosophy and system. The videos were so compelling that I agreed to be an assistant coach almost immediately – and I subsequently bought your book, which has been a terrific reference for me. (Incidentally, I am going to steal several of your philosophies for lacrosse, so I hope you don’t mind!!)

From the start, it was abundantly clear that the potential for our team with Winning Youth Football was off-the-charts. The results have been truly extraordinary – an undefeated 9-0 season, 4 shutouts, 6 “mercy rule” victories (which I believe Jay has explained to you already), and a 27-0 destruction of the perennial champion Tigers on THEIR home field in the championship game. And representatives from 5 other city teams were on our sideline cheering us on! I suppose the above is just a long-winded “thank you” for all that you have given to the football community – to coaches like me, to my father who got to watch all of his son’s and grandson’s games, and to boys like my son that are just beginning to understand what football and sports can mean to you.

I hope one day I will have the opportunity to thank you in person.

Best always,
Dave King, Raleigh, NC

2009- We finished 9-1 and MidTex Youth Football League JV Division Champions!. Was a great season and owe a lot to your offense and defensive schemes. Loved the blog. Well, once again, thanks for all the advice and materials.

Thomas Wesp,- San Antonio, TX 7

2009 Dave, I just wanted to let you know how our season went this year (and the previous two years). I did some research and found your program. After MUCH persuasion on my part, we implemented your offense one week before the season started...and we took a team that would probably have been 1-5 and we went 5-1. I think the coach let me do it just to shut me up. The kids loved it.

Last year I moved up and assisted with the older group while one of the other coaches stayed in the lower age group with his son. Again, the minor team (7-9 year olds) was very small with no one over the weight limit! This team went 4-2, much better than expected. This year I decided to take a team to be the head coach (I had assisted for the 4 years prior). I implemented your whole system more than we had done with any team before (practices, offense, defense, etc.) End result 7-0! We only had 1 touchdown scored against our starting defense all year!!! We had at least 10 different kids score! Thank you for the opportunity to be successful, for your leadership, your hard work, and sharing it with us.

2009 This may be unconventional but I would like to nominate my husband for Coach of the Year. His name is Ken Monroe and he is the offensive coach for the Mooresville Warriors Pee Wee's, 7-10 age group. He has pretty much lived by your book, dvd's and of course your system. Though learning your system took many hours away from my "honey to do list," I have to say it was actually worth it.

Ken began working on the single wing offense at the beginning of the summer, learning all the in's and out's of how to coach, what others might say as, a complicated system. He believed in every part of the book, from warming up, to drills, to practice hours, to the offense, the defense, actually from the first page to the last page.

The Warriors finished 8-2 in regular season. We made it all the way to the Championship game.. We finished with about 2,000 yards rushing for the season I believe. The success of the offense was completely due to an incredible system and a very dedicated Coach! I have no doubt that our season would not have ended as well if those two components were not in place.

Thank you for developing a system my husband could believe in and of course one that works!! We are looking forward to a great season next year and once again using the single wing offense!

Go Warriors!! April Monroe
for Ken Monroe

2009 Dave, I wanted to pass along some info regarding our 2009 season. We play in a 10 year-old league with 22 teams, finishing 10-0 and won our league's championship. This was an improvement from our 3 loss season last year as 9 year-olds with the same core group of kids. The high point is that all of the kids played a LOT, had fun, and want to continue playing football. At our year-end banquet, we had 100% (verbal) commitment for all players to play again next year. If all your kids come back, it is a good indication that you are doing something right.

I would say that the single biggest plus of your system is the practice methodology: Greater number of (proper) reps = success, not matter what scheme or system your team runs.

Regards,
John Cunningham

2009 I am the head coach of a single year Catholic Middle school team and this was my 3rd season. I started with these same boys when they were in 6th grade, and coached them last year in 7th grade, and again this year in 8th grade. Next year they will graduate to the High School and I will start over with a new team. Our school is in a very competitive 10 team league with the other teams feeding into large 4A public schools in the adjacent county. There is no weight limit but there is a running back weight limit of 175 lbs in our grade. Most teams consist of 13-14 year olds.

Out of the 49 boys we had 1 player above running back weight. The average team had 10-15 players above running back weight. Last year we went 2-7, losing most games by a touchdown or less except for a blowout where we lost by 5 touchdowns. This year, after putting in your system, we went 9-0 and were the league champions. This year we had 4 shutouts and out scored our opponents 225-42.

The highlight of the season was beating our most competitive team to win the conference championship. They had 2 linemen that weighed over 200 lbs and 3 players that ran a 40 yard dash mid 4 seconds. We had 1 player that weighed 175 lbs, and the next heaviest was 150 lbs.

I want to thank you for all the help you gave me and our team. We could not have done it with out you. Believe it or not winning the league championship was not the most important aspect to the whole season. Because we were able to have success consistently week after week, it put us in a position to play a lot of those 49 kids who never would have gotten off the bench had we struggled. It made the season a lot of fun for the coaches, the kids, and the parents.

2009 Good morning. My name is Derek Jones and I have been involved with Katy Youth Football for 4 years now. This is in Katy, Texas where we are home to the Katy Tigers One of most successful high school programs in the nation. I was chosen as the head coach of the Junior Varsity Ravens (4th grade) team. The catch was that the Ravens had won only 2 games over the last 3 years and lost 25. To add to the excitement, the league disbanded the Panthers team as well and combined some of their players with the Ravens. (The Panthers won 1 game last year and lost 8) So with a group of 22 kids, 18 of them had never won a game or had only won 2 since they joined KYF) .I had to change the culture and the mindset of everyone involved, including the league. The league saw the Ravens organization as a wasteland. I was told that if I could just keep kids from quitting as they had been, that the season would be considered a success.

I came across your site and I liked what I saw. The key thing is that from your teachings, it would allow me to get the most out of it in a short period of time. So I bought your system and began to study and watch the tapes that were sent. So I began with practice and started the towel drill, and the deer hunter drill, and the kids were laughing and having a great time.. Each practice we did whatever was on your practice sheet. The parents could see something was happening that was different from years past. Their kids couldn't wait to get to practice.

So we scrimmaged one of the area teams and we put in the offense. The first scrimmage we played okay. We scored 3 or 4 times with long runs and the parents jaws dropped. They had never gotten first downs before let alone scored touchdowns. So needless to say the excitement grew. showed me that they cared. A team that was so used to losing is now upset at losing. We scored 21 and got our first win as a Raven. The parents were in shock. They were asking me what do we do now? We never won before so early in the season. I laughed and said enjoy it today and we will get ready to get another one next week. I was receiving high praise from the other coaches in the league and from my parents. They said no team could make a turnaround that fast. But we went on to win 3 games of our first 4 games. We played tough the remainder of the season including losing to the defending champs 35-28. So we went 6-5 during the season only losing to the 4 top teams in our league. Parents were beyond themselves. The praise continued and other coaches were telling me that I deserved a coach of the year award for turning around that program. From a joke team to the one of the better teams in the league in a few short months. We lost in the championship game to the Cardinals for the right to go to the turf

I just wanted to say thank you Dave for putting out such a great product. To take a team that hasn't won, parents upset, the wasteland as I was told, and to help to make them love the game again, and win at the same time was such a great experience for me.

Thanks again, and GO RAVENS!!!

Derek Jones- KYF JV Ravens

2009 Dave,I just wanted to let you know we put the 2 touches on our first season with the Sebring Blue Streak Seniors in our first year running the single wing. We had the 8-2 regular season,1-1 in playoffs and 2-0 in tournament play. Our first year with your system we went 11-3

Thanks and good luck to you.
J. David Jones President, Sebring Youth Football

2009 Coach Dave, This was my first year coaching youth football . I decided to coach youth football because one of my sons (I have three) asked me to coach his team this year. I was a bit hesitant due to the fact that I played a couple of years in pee wee ball and played Junior High and JV in High school but that was it. I know baseball but… football….. not so much. Once I decided to coach I knew that I needed a good system to be successful. I scoured the internet and your program kept getting my attention. It just made sense to me.

Our team ended up 9-2 in the regular season. We made it to the semi finals in the play offs but lost to a very well coached and athletic team. We ended the season 11-3. Not bad for a first year coach in a very competitive league. I believe your system is solid. I liked the practice drills. This is what really sold me on your program. Teach step by step instead of having full speed tackling drills the first practice. Thanks for the program! It made us a better team and me a better coach!

Phillip Johnson -Warner Robins Ga.

2009 We ended up getting to our conference championship game. We lost two games to the eventual Super Bowl champion, who their skill players and some interior lineman were olders/but lighters and incredibly skilled. Thanks.

Sean Bacon

2009 We won the 7-9 Flag Football championship this year (2009). We finished the season 8-1. Thanks for helping me make this a memorable season for my son.

Best Regards,
Woody Bagwell

2009 I love to tell the story of my team to anyone who will listen, especially to the guy who helped us go from an inconsistent, floundering program 2 seasons ago and turned it into one that is kid-centered and made the boys eager for practice and winners on the field and off. I purchased your book, etc. early in the spring/summer of '08 determined to make it work at my son's school's 7th and 8th grade program; one that had been run by some old guard coaches who treated the boys like a 1960s high school team - lots of conditioning, in your face type yelling and screaming, etc. We went from that type to 2-3 days of 2-hour practices a week.

Needless to say, it (your program) worked. In our first year (2008), our team went 4-3. This year, our team improved to 6-1, losing only our opener. We outscored our opponents 218-108 this year, posting two shut outs.

Well, thanks for being there for youth football coaches Dave. Thanks for providing an easy-to-follow program for men who want to teach boys the greatness of this game, while not discounting the importance and joy of winning at the same time.

2009 Dave, We won our league championship for the 10-12 year old division using your system. After that I used the offense for the allstar team and won a 2 game tournament with it. Thanks. Rick Halbart- Sardis, TN

2009 Coach Dave, We would like to thank you for your system being mainly responsible for our turnaround season. We went from 1-7-1 last season to 5-2-1 this season. I am a offensive coordinator at the Mitey Mite level of Pop Warner (ages 7 - 9 ) and can attest to the power of the "Winning Youth Football" system. Our offense went from less than 10 points per game to just under 21 pts. per game. More importantly was getting all of our kids involved and excited ( and their parents too! ). Our defense allowed less than 13 pts per game. Our head coach followed your book to the tee. He coached the heck out of the o-line and did a great job on defense with the wide tackle six. We ran the sainted six , mouse series, spinner 26 power and spinner 32 wedge. I would like to nominate our Head Coach Luis Mederios as coach of the year for fully buying in to the WYF system and allowing me autonomy on offense but more importantly having a fantastic turnaround season.

Jason Braz - New Bedford, Mass

2009 I moved to new town and was able to be OC for 3-4 grade team in Texas. 30 team league. We avg. 37 per game and went 12-1 losing in the Super Bowl. Every eligible kid ran the ball and 8 kids scored TD's. Great year even though lost last game.

I have now run your offense 3 seasons and have combined record of 31-1 This is with 2 different teams. Thanks for your work. Making me look like I know what I am doing!!!

Greg Horne

2009 Dave, We went 11-0 and won the 9-10 year old league championship Mid-Ohio Youth Football league. We are now 44-4 in 4 years using your system . With two championships and one runnerup. I convinced our 8 and under coach to use the system and they lost in the championship game . They finished 8-3. I also convinced our 11-12 year old coach to use it and they lost in the championship as well . They finished 10-1. It was the first time in our organization history that we had all three teams play in the league championship in the same year. Thanks, Jim Cox

2009 Dave, my name is David Jones and I am the President of Sebring Youth Football.I have been involved with youth sports for 14 years. I had the pleasure of attending your clinic in Orlando this year. Our Jr. Coach[Bob Duncan]has been running your system for 4 years and he invited me. It was a treat and I was excited about the system. I had volunteered to be an assistant coach for a young man by the name of Bronson Smith with our seniors [13&14 y/o] We are in a town that still has 2 middle school football teams so we don't exactly get the best players in the 13 & 14 y/o age group. This season Coach Smith came back with a true 8-2 regular season record and won our first round playoff game against.....Lake Wales. His team was District Champs in a league of 41 different teams.They lost the Conference Championship game 18-16 against a MUCH BIGGER Lakeland team.During the season in weeks 6 and 7 they beat undefeated teams back to back weeks.Thanks to your system Coach Smith was able to evaluate his talent and skill,find a place for all the kids to play and take a cellar team and turn them into a stellar team. We have 9 teams in Sebring[2 flag and 7 tackle]the only two tackle teams that made the playoffs from our town ....Bob Duncan's Jr. Streaks and Bronson Smith's Sr. Streaks running Dave Cisar's single wing. Thank you for your time and hope you will consider Coach Smith as a coach of the year finalist.

Sincerely, J.David Jones President S.Y.F.

2009 Last year my 5th graders from Timberlane school district in Plaistow, NH went 3-3 and didn’t fair very well in the post-season rumble. I was looking for a better way to run practices, I figured someone must have figured this out before me- so I bought your practice book, as well as your 6-2 defense book. I want to say what a great job you did putting it together, it helped me and the other coaches on our team to run very fast-paced, efficient practices where we got a lot done in a short amount of time without a lot of standing around. The results speak for themselves, we improved to 6-1 in the regular season, won our first playoff game and made it all the way to the Championship Game- which we lost in a 20-14 dogfight to the 3-time defending champ. Our small town kids gave one of the biggest cities in NH a run for their money- I couldn’t be more proud of those boys and I wanted to say thank you for providing some great tips and techniques we implemented on practice scheduling, defense and special teams.

2009 Dave, thanks for showing us how to run the most powerful offense in an area that is usually predicated on "west coast offenses" with unbelievable deception! Through the first five games of our season, we had a record of 3-2. the last four games we scored 36 or more points every game and beat an undefeated team (SELECT) to win the championship scoring 39 points in the process. Our league has strict scoring rules or we could have scored way more if we wanted too! In that game, we had over 14 guys run the ball and scored on six straight possessions against the number one defense in the city (this team rarely was scored upon).

Our finishing record was 7-2 and we scored 260 points using your system! We have coached over 15 years and at least 30 teams and have never had an offense like this. We actually used to run the "double wing!" Our offense was so explosive that I am not so sure if we really needed the down markers or chain crew!! Thanks again for giving us the tools to look like like "Chip Kelly!" (He is the coach of the 'high flying' Oregon Ducks).

2009 Coach Dave, I wanted to share with you the success my team experienced this year implementing your Winning Youth Football system. I am the head coach for the Upper Dublin Cardinals 75lb JV team. We compete in the Keystone State League, a nice mix of city and suburban competitive youth football teams in the Philadelphia area. I never played organized football and knew little outside what I learned watching the NFL on Sundays.

The season was very exciting and fun for the players, coaches, families and spectators!! We finished 9-0-1 and are the conference champions. I am proud of the kids for their win/loss record but some other stats I think added to the enjoyment of the season:

• 10 different players scored touchdowns, two were the first time they touched the ball.
• 17 different players had either run or caught the ball.
• Only 7 points given up all season.
• We scored touchdowns from each of the “sainted six” plays.
• The Spinner 26 Power was a devastating play that we scored multiple touchdowns from and the “wow” play because people would not know where the ball was.
• Our scores: 13-0, 9-0, 13-0, 26-0, 31-0, 0-0, 28-0, 13-7, 30-0, 30-0.
• Parents from our organization’s other teams would come to watch our games because of the “razzle dazzle” & “Wildcat” plays.

Like most teams we had our share of absences with sickness and injuries but with the system it was easy to switch players around and “the big red machine” as I like to call it would roll on. Parents loved that everyone was involved and everyone got ample play time. So my letter is written to thank you for “Winning Youth Football” it is an amazing system that made the difference and helped the Cardinals become the elite team in the conference and enjoy a successful season. I would recommend it to any coach. I’m just hoping the other teams in our league don’t find out about it.

Yours truly,

Dave Potts, Head Coach

2009 Coach Dave,

I would like to nominate Jeff McDonald as a Coach of the Year. I'm the Head coach for a Bantam level Tri City Chargers in house team in St. Charles, IL., and Jeff was our offensive coordinator. He really adopted a lot of the techniques discussed at your session last time you were in Chicago, like running and effective practice and offensive line play ... as well as some of the "Rocket", Wedge, and "Lazer" plays. Our practices were productive and fun... and our record was the proof that is a winning combination.

Last year, before doing our homework, we had 2 wins, and we weren't happy with the way we were doing things. This year, we went undefeated in regular season, and undefeated in the playoffs... winning our weight class Super Bowl. All those things are great, but the most rewarding thing as a coach is how much the boys learned, how the boys all became close friends, the parents couldn't be happier with the way the boys were treated. We have 15 boys that had a good football experience and cant wait to come back and play next year. Jeff McDonald was the key factor this year, and worked extremely hard to ensure a better, more rewarding and productive year, not only for our sons (who were on the team), but for every boy we get a chance to coach.

Thanks,
Gerry Tarpey

2009 Our football team ranged from ages 8, 9, and 10. Before implementing the offence we could not move the ball and were going backwards instead of forwards. We implemented the wedge and began moving the ball and making touchdowns. We were not the most talented football team but we went from last place to 3rd place. I believe we would have done better if we had started at the beginning of the season. We didn't implement the offence until the after the first game. I love this offense and would recommend it to others.

Thanks its been great,
Kenneth Tackett

2009 Coach Dave, I’m writing you to tell you about our team and their success running your system. Last year was my first year coaching youth football. As a result, I researched far and wide to find a system that I could teach 5-7 year olds successfully. After reading about many different systems, I went with yours, mostly because I agreed with the philosophy. Running your system, we went 8-0 and outscored our opponents 219-24. We had 9 kids score touchdowns and everybody got to start somewhere on the field. It’s been a true blessing to find your system. You make it easy to follow and the kids love the games.

I recommend it to anyone in youth football!

Thanks Coach!

2009 Dave, I coach a 5th and 6th grade team in Blairstown, New Jersey , ages 10 and 11 years old. I have been coaching for the past 7 years at various levels and the first 5 years I never won more than 2 games. This year went 6-2 finished in second and made the playoffs for the first time ever, using your system. This team had 4 kids that never played before and we were undersized and not incredibly fast. Going into this season I was hoping to be a 4-4 team at best.

Thanks,
Ron Lubertazzo , New Jersey

2009- Coach DeLorenzo of Kennebunk Maine, with only 15 young men we went 11-0 winning the Gold Ball in southern Maine . We played teams with more young men and came from behind in the last two games to win. The great part is we won the last two game with 29 seconds left in one and the gold ball game with. .7 seconds left a great great story. Thanks for the system and your advice all season.

Coach Delorenzo- Kennebunk Maine

2009 Hi Coach, Our set up is a little different from most other organizations. We are in an organization with 28 other teams. We are a 1A school and we played 3 1A schools this year and the rest were 3A, 4A, and 5A schools. We would have 24 kids on our team while other teams had over 40. Last year we only won 2 games all season long. We had the scoreboard shut off on us in about 4 games through the season. After last season I starting searching for a format that we could use that would be effective, successful and also fun for the kids; Winning Youth Football was just that for us.

We started the season off with a win over a 4A school. Our next game we got beat by the team that would go on to win it all 20-12. We would go on and only loose one more regular season game. We finished 6-3. Dominated teams and didn’t get dominated all year long. We went into the season this year knowing we were the underdog. At the end of the season we were successful, and the most important thing is that all the kids want to come back next year.

Thanks,
Adam Darty - Berry, Alabama

2009 Hi Dave, I just wanted to thank you for all my previous e-mails you responded to so quickly. We ended our season last week, we went 10-0 and won our championship game, we did this with basically the same group I had last year where we went 4-5.

We averaged 30 points a game and had eight shut-outs, it was an awesome year!! Thanks for all your helpful tips, Thanks again

Coach Mike Allen, Chicago

2009 Dave, Just wanted to send you a note and let you know how our Season went. I attended your coaching clinic in Seattle this past summer. I was the bald guy you used to do all the demonstrations with. I am a first year Head Coach of a 3/4 grade team in St Helens Oregon. I ended up at 5-3 on the season and our team had as many wins as all the other teams in our league combined. We lost the first one to a neighboring town who also runs your system (they were at the Seattle Clinic as well. I had a great time, the kids had a great time and the parent loved it. It was a great season, thank you for all the tools you share and I can't wait for next season to start. By the way neither can the kids from my team, we have had a couple of get together functions since the season ended and they all wished that we could still be playing. Isn't that great, as a coach I couldn't ask for more. By the way, we practiced less than any team in our league this season, primarily because of my work schedule.

Sincerely,
Darrin Hastings- St Helens Youth Football

2009 Dave this my second year running your system my first year my team ended up 9-2 winning or organizations first championship in 40 years it was a awesome year . I was offered a coaching job in a different league . it was the organizations 3rd year in a CYO league the team I was offered was a 5th and 6th grade team that was 2-7 the previous year Dave our team was out sized and over weighed by at least 30 pounds across the board every game . How ever they where quick learners and went on to win a undefeated championship . I am so proud of these boys and thankful for your system . Just wanted to share this with you and thank you for all your help. Thanks coach Keith, we averaged 33 ppg.

Keith Kallan- St Gabriel's Philadelphia

2009 Hey coach, I ordered both dvds smothering youth defense and the single wing. I was surprised how well the defense worked, I have always been a 5-3 guy myself. My group is the 9-10 year old Titusville Knights here in Birmingham Al. Last year we were 1-9 this year we went 13-0 (2 rounds playoffs and the championship game) averaging 32 points a game and unscored on until the championship game, where we won 35-14. My kids parents loved the bearcrawlers that gave EVERYONE a chance to play and feel really involved with the team.!

Head Coach, Curtis Austin- Birmingham, AL

2009 Coach Dave, I purchased your book at the beginning of this football season after doing lots of research and reading about yours and others success thats been achieved after implementing your system. I was the Head Coach of the 9 & 10 year olds. I decided that we were going to implement both your offense and defense from the very beginning of the season. We ran the "sainted six" and the wide tackle six. The players and coaches seemed to catch on very quickly and could not wait to put it into action. We played 8 games in the regular season and won every one. We scored between 20 -45 points in all the games. The maximum points scored on us this year was 14 points. We went undefeated in our regular season and were district champions. We played our final game of the season "Hornet Bowl". We played Pass Christian, a select travel team who traveled in Ms. and La. their record at the time we played them was 16-1. Final score was 48-20 us. This system has really made the difference this year with our team. Last year our record was 2 - 6.

Thanks, Michael Brown - Poplarville, MS

2009 Dear Coach Dave, I am a first time head coach who was referred your system by another coach. We play by Canadian rules. The team I took over finished 5th out of 8 in 2008 running Power I ball. Our kids were aged 7-9. I read your book and it confirmed my suspicion to make Defense first. Your Wide Tackle 6 is basically what we ran here to eliminate the sweep. We also worked very hard on making the O-line fun. I was an O-line coach in the mid 90's, and I found your blocking system simple to understand and super-effective, but at the same time, fun.

We averaged 9.5 yards/carry, 20 kids carried the rock for us at some point during the season, and we had 4 different 100 yard rushers. We shutout 7 teams, and went 9-2 during the regular season. We faced the 6 time defending City Champion in the final. They were extremely well coached and disciplined and had defeated us in the regular season. The 32 Spinner Wedge worked to perfection that day resulting in two plus 50 yard runs. Our Wedge blocking was at it's best. Nobody, including my staff, knew where the ball was. We won 18-6 which included about an 8 minute scoring drive at the end of the first half.

I have to say that winning the City wasn't the thrill for me. Through your system, we had extremely high attendance in practice vs. previous years. Too me, high practice attendance means that the kids are enjoying themselves, and the parents that are getting the kids there see value. So, I am not writing you to ask for the Award. I am nominating Mike Lenz, who has your system also, for this award. He mentored myself through this process and encouraged me to embrace it when I was looking at options. He also pretty much Canadian-ized your offensive system, a feat in itself. We continue to tweak it as we speak.

Thanks Coach!

2009 Dave, I came to see you at the Glazier clinic near Chicago. I took many of your philosophies . We ran your WT6 defense exclusively. We ended up 13-1 and won our Super Bowl at the 7,8 yr. old level. Your ideas for evaluations and practice were invaluable. My 10yr old son lost to a team that follows your system religiously. This was their second championship in 2 yrs of running your system. I look forward to seeing you again this offseason. Great work.

Jeff Mcdonald

2009 Dave, I purchased the implementing the single wing for youth football dvd earlier this summer. Last spring was my first season coaching youth football. I coach in the NYFL in Las Vegas, my team is the Varsity Eagles and my boys are between 11-13 years of age. I played youth football all of my life, but I let it go around my sophomore year in high school. Last season my team ended the regular season 2-4 and we lost our first round playoff game. After getting the dvd it really got me excited for this season. We went to a preseason tournament in Fontana California at the end of August, a month after training began. Using the single wing my team averaged 35 points per game and went undefeated in that tournament. When we got back to Las Vegas, my team was the talk of the town. We did a complete turn around this season. We ended our regular season 5-3 and were in second place averaging about 27 points per game. We got all the way to the championship game, and lost 12-13 which ended our season with a record of 7-4. I am not just saying the call was questionable to make my boys feel good because I am very strict on them about good sportsmanship. I appreciate what I have learned from the single wing and I implemented it as an offense not just a series of plays. We went completely away from running sweeps period, it makes my linemen feel good that no one can stop us off tackle. Thanks a million!!!!

Coach Truman Hopkins- Las Vegas, NV

2009 I think my team deserves your coach of the year award more than I do. I coached a Maine Youth Football pee wee team, the Colts, consisting of 2nd and 3rd graders aged 6-8, as well as a 5 yr old whose older brothers play in the league. We had a total of 15 players including the 5 yr old, and only once had a full 15 kids for a game.

I am a newbie to your system and to being a head coach. I was an assistant coach for the same team last season, but about half of the team had moved on to the JV level of play along with the coach. I needed a system to run that would allow a bunch of medium-sized kids I didn’t get to draft to play competitive football and have fun at the same time. After looking a lot of systems, yours seemed to jump out at me. There were spots for smaller kids to play where they wouldn’t get hurt nor slow down the momentum of the running game. There were spots for athletic kids who were just over the running back weight limit of 85 lbs.

To make this long story short, we ended up 6-0. We scored 40 touchdowns and allowed 5 in that stretch. We beat three undefeated teams during the season, and at the end-of-year jamboree we went 3-0-1 beating yet another undefeated team in the process.

The neat part was seeing how many other pee wee teams went to a direct snap, had extra blockers on sweeps, and generally tried to adopt our/your system after playing us Did I have great athletic kids? Sure. I also started the 5 yr old and had both him and our younger players play a minimum of half the game, and usually much more. Our running backs shared the running duties equally, and we always threw at least four passes a game. My team was great, worked hard and totally bought into the system, and your system is one I will take with me as my son moves up through the system here in Portland.

Thanks for your time and effort putting your book and materials together. I look forward to expanding on the system as the kids get bigger and more experienced.

Alan Parks

2009 Coach, Last year was my first season as a head coach for the Aiken Tigers 7-8, in Aiken, SC. Implementing your system was the best thing that happened. We started out slow, with a 1-4 start. But, finished in a rally, winning the championship in the playoffs.

After attending your clinic in Atlanta in the off season, we implemented some of your new techniques this season, like the Jet series, 16 pass, and wing on. Because I was moving up an age division (9-10), I wasn’t sure how we'd do. We rocked the 8 team league by going undefeated, 9-0-1. We won the playoff championship with ease. For the season we outscored our opponents 218-32, in games with an 8 minute clock that never stops. For those coaches sitting on the fence, you will never regret adopting this system.

Brian Carter- Aiken. SC Tigers

2009 We ran your system with three of our teams this year - the Atoms (8-9), Peewees (10-11) and Junior Bantam (12-13). The Atom team started 0-4 and engineered a remarkable turnaround about when the kids started getting the concepts and finished the season 5-5 (good enough for 3rd place). They upset the 8-2 second place team and made it into the league championship, losing that game by a wide margin (38-6) to the first place team (12-0, 378 points for, 12 against). The Atom team was very small and had only 18 players - and we were all very proud of them for their fantastic late season surge.

The Peewee team finished 10-1 (436 points for, 86 against) and first place overall. Our JV team went 7-3 and just won the league championship.

As an interesting comparable - we have two teams at every level and we conduct a draft (we do a combine and then take turns selecting). The other teams in our organization didn't fare as well as the ones above. The Atoms were 0-10, the Peewees 3-7, and the JBs 2-8. 3 teams in championship games and 3 out of the playoffs...so thank you Coach!

2009 Coach Dave,

The Spirit of Faith Warriors have 4 teams headed to Florida for the AYF National Championships. The Mitey Mites will participate in the Invitational tournament. The Cadets are State Champions. The Jr. PeeWee are Regional Runner-ups and a wildcard. The Midgets are State Champions. Again many thanks for your system and help this season and God Bless!

2009 Dave, Thanks again to your system we the Prince Frederick Eagles have won the Calvert County Championships 80lb A Division for the second year in a row. I started using your offense 4 years ago. Since then, we have won 3 out of 4 Championships. Our team record has been 44 wins and 4 losses.

Chris Floria

2009 Dear Dave, Our season was very rewarding and successful. We dominated the last 6 teams we played. I coached my older son for three years and never had near the success or the fun I had with this team. I was very nervous putting in your system but thought that teaching proper form and basics while fostering a winning culture was more important. As it turned out we were the highest scoring team of the 52 teams in our third through 6th grade program. My coaches think I'm brilliant but I know next to nothing. I followed your recipe without any changes. From evaluating players to practice plans to game strategy. I trusted your experience and was paid back in full. Best money ever spent. I'm excited to have three more years with these same kids.

Dale Flippin

2009 I have been coaching my sons youth football team for 4 years. For the past 2 years I have been coaching at the 3rd and 4th grade level. In 2008 we had a team of 24 and 18 of them were 3rd graders. We finished last with a record of 1-6, I didn't have a lot of fun last year. 3 out of our 5 coaches left to start a new team and 2 of us were left. We believe it's because we had a losing season. I ordered and studied all of your DVD's and fell in love with your system. I had to wait impatiently for about 7 months before we started practicing for the 2009 season.

Our 2009 season was unbelievably better. We finished out the season 4-3 with a 3rd place finish. Our defense this year was absolutely fantastic!!! We ran the Wide Tackle 6 and absolutely dominated. Our boys only allowed 7 touchdowns all year.

I can’t count the times that the officials complimented us on how good our boys were at blocking and tackling. What has changed the most for our team is that no matter what happened, all of our players, parents and coaches had a blast this year.

Thank you again from the Potosi Panther and I and God Bless!

2009 I am the assistant head coach for the Rohnert Park Warriors in Rohnert Park, CA. I coach the Mitey Mite level (7, 8 and 9 yr old older/ lighter) along with Head Coach Jim Adam. The reason I am writing you is Jim is one of those coaches who likes to give credit to the teams success elsewhere. We are a brand new organization and this is our second year. In a nutshell our first year was met with mild success. Our team was 2-8 with stats that matched. We ran the single wing last year as best as we knew how. We attended the Clinic of Champions in Reno, NV earlier this year where we attended every one of your classes and frequented your booth often. We purchased the entire series at the clinic and were very excited and motivated for the upcoming year. Long story short...we used your system and were quite successful with minimal talent. We were one of the only teams in the league who didn’t have that one kid with speed who scores all the touchdowns by getting outside with speed.

We ended up with a 10-1 record and played in our "Mitey Mite Bowl" for the Championship. We received comments from countless parents, board members and other organizations that we "set the stage" for the rest of the games on a Sunday and the organization as a whole. I would like to respectfully submit Jim Adam for consideration as Coach of the Year.

Ryan R. Reese- Rohnert Park, California

2009 Dave- My story may not qualify me but I think its worth telling. I am a rookie coach coaching 9-10 yos in a Suburb of Houston, Texas. I went to your Dallas SW clinic and had great time. My story is really a tale of two seasons...I started teaching the points of your system both on offense and defense back in August. The first part of our season we were 0-5 with losses by a total of 22 points. Regardless of the heat that was being generated by the parents, we stuck with your system. The kids were busting their humps through the losses but we were never getting blown out or outplayed, we would make a mistake and fumble on our opponents 5 or the like.

I used the part in your book that helps teach the mental aspect of the game and to always be ready (Compete). I also scaled back practices to 2 days per week (2 hrs per day). We never dropped the system and we always focused on assignments...the kids probably could run 16 Power in their sleep. It was amazing how it seemed that all of a sudden, the light was turned on. After starting 0-5, we put up a run of 6-2, winning the Lonestar Alliance Tournament of Champions. During that run, we outscored our opponents 208-78. Our defense and special teams outscored our opponents offenses 82-78. During Tournament play we outscored our opponents 138-22..it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

I will forever be a believer that the Cisar SW is "straight money" and will use it again. Thanks for giving me and my team a formula to succeed this season.Best always,

Vic deBouchel- South County (TX) Football League

2009 We went to the Super bowl, it was the first time in 17 years that the A squad has been to one! I got the B squad running it and they made it to the playoffs. Both running your system. Thanks, Coach Lucia. ( west Bridgewater Ma,) -Wildcats

2009 Well it worked out for us, we just beat that Select team in the SIFC (Southern Interior Football Conference) Bantam (14-15yr olds) Championship game 38-15.

No one adapted very well to our offence as much as I thought they might. We kept to variations of your Sainted 6 in the first half of the season then brought in some spin and jet series later. By the time we got to the Championship game the only team to have beat us all year had no idea what to do or what to expect so they got all of it.

Tony Pereira- Head Coach Salmon Arm Bantam Chargers
BC, Canada

2009 We finished 6-3 this year using your system but I must say this we scored more points and averaged about 220 yards a game on the ground. The teams I lost to just lost in the eastern regions. And the other one is playing for Garden State Championship this week in New Jersey and I had average kids.

Anthony Robinson Head Coach PEE Wees Fords Bearcats Fords New Jersey

2009 Dear Coach Dave, I wanted to pass along to you our success this year running the Winning Youth Football program. Last season was my first time coaching. I showed up to our Association coach’s clinic in hopes that I could be an assistant coach for my 10 year old son and ended up being the head coach. Needless to say, I started my research right away and found winningyouthfootball.com. After watching your DVDs and reading the book, I was comfortable with taking on this role. I was very pleased with the results in the player growth at the end of the season and the parents were happy to.

During the off season, I met up with 3 dads from the past season that wanted to team up and I went over the Winning Youth Football program with them. They were on board 100% and we all signed up for your clinic in Atlanta. By the time our first game rolled around, our boys were executing perfect every block, every play, wrapping up on Defense, squaring up and great form tackling. With that said coach, it was a great year. We gained 2312 yards this season, allowed 55 yards on defense, went 10 and 1 in regular season and won our Conference Super Bowl. In the play offs, we allowed 1 first down and allowed a total of -7 yards on defense in 3 games. It was a refreshing experience for our parents and boys because last year, these boys lost every game and scored zero touch downs. I only recommend Winning Youth Football by Dave Cisar to any coach that wants to know my success.

Thanks,
Shane Johnson. Sharpsburg Youth Football

2009 Coach Dave, We just finished our 5th grade league out of OKC, Oklahoma. Once again, we finished 12-0 and won the league championship utilizing the single wing and wide tackle 6-2 defense. That leaves us at 25-0 over the past two years with the amazing thing being we have never once trailed in a game over the past two years. While I have to admit that we have some pretty good players, I also give a lot of credit to your system.

Coach Moring

2009 Last season (2008), my son played his first season of tackle football. Our organization had two 9 year old teams in 2008. My son's team was 4-3-1 and made the playoffs. The other team went 0-8 and was never in a game. As a result of my son's team making the playoffs they were automatically bumped up to the top league (NFC) from the AFC. Our coach realized my son's team wasn't ready for the NFC and had to break up the team. He could only keep 6 players from last year's team. Not surprisingly, the coach for the 0-8 team decided not to coach again this season. The 0-8 team had a number of big kids and our former coach picked up the "players" from that team since the team didn't have a coach. The season was fast approaching and nobody stepped up to coach the team that had gone 0-8. I volunteered and took over the team.

I stumbled on your Winning Youth Football and figured I might be onto something. I purchased the Single Wing DVDs, the Winning Youth Football book, and offensive play DVD. I read your book over and over and watched the videos countless times. I installed the "sainted six" first and then put in the Jet series. The boys picked it up and we got better with each practice and game. We finished the season 5-3, 5th place in our 13 team conference. All the parents thanked me for a great season and almost every boy will be back with me next season. I can't thank you enough for sharing your system. I am excited about next season and plan on attending your coaching clinic in Denver next spring. I can honestly say that our team would not have had the success and fun we had this season if I had not discovered your DVDs and book.

2009- This is our third season on your system. The year prior to starting the single wing our 7-8 year olds lost every game, 0-7. The next year we started your system still 7-8 year olds and we finished 6-3 and won the championship. The next year most moved up to the 9-10 year old division we finished 8-0 and won the championship. This year 9-10 year olds finished 11-0 and won the championship again. This year I did something that has never been done, I set up a challenge with another league to have a champion vs. champion game, they accepted without hesitation. I schedule a pre season game with anyone who will accept from their league and we don't lose those either, there is a urban legend developed around us there that is, you cant claim to be the best on the Peninsula until you beat the team from Port Townsend. We come from a small town on the Peninsula in Western Washington and have 18 kids on our team. The league we challenged has two divisions with sixteen teams and an average of 28 players per team. The team we played was 11-0 and 19-1 over the last two seasons. We played this game last Saturday and it was the most exciting game we have ever played. Our team even though small in size won the game 19-14 in a close battle. They have never seen a single wing offense before, we had success with the sixteen power and used the 16 pass when they started crowding the line. We won the game on 18 sweep pass after running three sixteen powers in a row to set them up. This is the biggest win this program has ever had, we had a crowd that resembled a high school football game and gained a whole new fan base with this victory. 23 teams two leagues and one champion the Port Townsend Braves.

Thank you for your program and all you do fro youth football.
Butch Marx

2009 Coach- My team this year was primarily made up of 10 year olds. Our record last year during the regular season was 5-0 but we were demolished in the first round of the playoffs. This year we ended the regular season 5-0 and won the semi-finals, which was a dogfight. Unfortunately, we lost a coach and several key players in the semi-final game with the Championship the following day. We lost the championship 32-6 but gave it everything we had.

The high points this year using the Youth Football System was that we were able to teach more fundamental football and we really geared our focus towards defense! I was an offensive player in highschool and college but loved the philosophy on defense first. Our team had a record of 6-1 this year and with the exception of the championship game we only allowed 6 points all season. Finally, the information received on organizing youth practice outlines was excellent.

Thanks for the help this year!

2009 This was my third season using the WYF system. My first with this team. I did not head coach this year as no teams were available so I OCed for an old rival and we had a great time. In addition to that I assisted my old team to help them transition to the new coach and some young players.

Our results were excellent for both teams. Our 5,6,7 team went to their third straight Championship game and fell short to a veteran team that played outstanding all year. The 7,8,9 team won the League Championship in dramatic fashion with only 5 seconds left on the clock. So in 3 years we have piled up 3 championships and one runner up using your system. Not bad if you ask me! Thanks for all You Do.

2009 Dave: We went 6-2 Coach and Lost our first game before I committed to the system and frankly just got beat by a much better group of kids the other loss. 5 of the 6 wins were mercy rule type wins. We only had 19 kids as our league split our 3-4 teams into 4 groups and the talent pool got really thinned out.

Loved the offense. Ran the defense without much stunts and both were great. The rocket served us well as did the Single Wing which we called the Monster. Kids loved it and we scored with 7 different kids. This was a lot of fun! Thanks for doing what you do and I hope to be coaching next year and lot more ready to implement the system. Regards;

2009 Coach Dave, The Taylors Falcons Red team finished 8-1-1. We lost last night in the playoffs to the Travelers Rest Devil Dogs who also were running your system. They just outclassed us in size and speed and were well coached and had a well deserved win. We outscored our opponents 173-27 pitched 4 shutouts in the regular season and had a blast doing so.Thanks again for your help, for a first year coach I was very pleased with the results and many parents said it was the first positive experience their son has had in youth football. Comments like those really make it all worth the sacrifices and effort it takes to coach youth football.Talk to you soon,

Dean Phillips- Taylors Falcons Red

2009 This will be the end of my era with this being my last year of coaching Youth Football. To say Thank you simply is not enough I am trying to express my gratitude and appreciation to this program that we have appreciated so much and are indebted to your ideas and program and have won 2 out of the last 3 City Championships that’s 2 out of the last 3 years with mostly the same group of kids

My first year with your program we were competitive but did not make the playoffs year 2 we won our first City Championship that has 20 teams in the league went 18-0 including winning 2 Jamborees and scored 417 points and allowed just 66. Last year we went 13-2 but did not make the playoffs and scored 334 points and allowed 103 and won 2 jamborees

But this year was the most special we had graduated past the Sainted 6, mastered the Spinner Series, Mouse and Buck Wedge and most recently the 16 Pass which killed the competition your added plays you passed on to me was just at the right time. Here is the final for this year we had a record of 28-2 winning 4 jamborees scoring 716 points and only allowing 80 and won our second City Championship the total on the last 3 years is staggering to me in just that time using your system to the T we had a record of 59-4 scored 1,467 points and allowed 249 and won 2 Championships and we owe all of this to you with all sincerity.....Thanks again for sharing your research and hard work

2009 We pulled it off yesterday, after winning our districts super bowl last weekend , we played another districts super bowl champs and we beat them 28-26. Before I used your system, we could barely be .500, the last 2 years using your stuff, 23-6 , and 2 super bowl championships. Makes a coach feel good when other parents along with your team parents are bragging on you, I give you the credit sir. I am glad I came across you on internet. You made me a lot better coach, knowing to teach them the correct way to do things and who to block.Thank you once again, as this is my last season as they will be going to middle school next year. Lot of players cried after game and hugging me saying they wish I could move up with them.

David Edwards

2009 Hi Coach, Sitting at my computer late in the evening still ramped up from our Championship today. Bought all your stuff in July/August and learned it the best I could. I then emailed you a few times about adapting it to our league rules which prevent unbalanced lines and have quite a few other restrictions at this age. Well, we just finished a perfect season of 10 wins, no losses. We have a very restrictive margin of victory rule (24 points or more equals possible suspension) and we outscored the opposition 179 to 70 with about 40 of those points coming when we emptied our defense at the end of games.

This grade was 2-6 last year in the bottom tier of our league. I was asked to coach at this level this year because of the tough year they had in 2008. The team we beat in Championship averaged about 130 pounds on the line. We averaged about 105. Your system created a life long memory for 17 ten year old boys. They will forever have this perfect seasonThank you, thank, thank you on behalf of these kids. The joy on their faces today was worth all the hard work and preparation. Winning Youth Football is the real deal and taught me so much in this my 12th year coaching. I wish I had found it 11 years ago!Thanks Dave on behalf of me, my coaches and our boys.

Kevin Black- Wilton, CT

2009 Dave, I just wanted to thank you for the great book and DVD you have put out. I consider myself a defensive minded guy, and it has helped me to get over the offensive hump as a coach. I was successful before but we have struggled to get out of the first round of the playoffs (17-4 previous record). I was a wishbone/pro set guy before. We ran the table this year and won the championship using your system. In some of the games we could score at will. I never felt like we couldn’t move the ball and score on anyone we faced. I feel now I am becoming more of an offensive minded youth football coach; it was so much fun to run this offense. I even had refs asking me where we got it and wanted to know more about it. I had a good group of average kids no real speedsters. I think the biggest way it has helped me is in playing time for the minimum play kids. It has been nice to get up 3 TD’s and be able to play them more than usual. I would recommend your system to anyone, from the hard core football coach to the new coach. I would also tell them to follow it to a T. The only time I would get in trouble was when I would stray from your advice. Thanks again.

2009 David: Since installing your single wing (sainted six) my 11-13 year old team has gone 7-1-1, 5-4 (with many near misses) and this season 11-0 with the #1 offense and defense as well as a victory in the Super Bowl. Can't Thank you enough!!!!!

Stanley Brish- Milford , MI

2009 Dave, My 8/9 year old team finished 8-2 and the 2009 Southern Middle Tennessee League Junior Pro Champions after a slow 1-2 start. The team we beat 28-6 in the championship game was coached by three high school assistant coaches. Our WT6 defensive starters only gave up one TD in the last seven games and it was a pass play. Thanks for all the help, your system works! Hope to see your clinic again in Atlanta next year.

Nathan Keen Head Coach,
Warren Co. Pioneers Black Mc Minnville, TN

2009 Two days before season began the 11-12 team for Lumpkin County could not find a coach. I had assisted a few times but never head coached. Panicked after accepting the position mainly because I have a son playing. He had played with same group of kids that had pretty much been beaten terribly for several years. They had only scored 14 points for the whole last season. I turned to your system for help. I planned only to use bits and pieces of the videos but became more impressed with what I saw.

We used the conditioning and drills which made the kids really look forward to practice. The parents thought I was nuts and several had said to my assistant it would be a long season. Our Practice game was a disaster losing 14-0 and was beginning to believe I had made a mistake.T o make a long story short They caught on finishing 8-3. we averaged 24 pt/game. Upset the number one team in the league to advance to the district championship. We lost this game because of one huge mistake, after leading for most of the game missing out on the North Georgia Youth Super Bowl. Wow what a year. Thanks for the help couldn't have done out without you.

Al Parker

2009 Excellent. I did run the Wide Tackle 6 defense. The ran base as well as gunner, razor, and crash calls. Let me take a moment to tell you about our season. We coach 7,8, and 9 year olds. We were by far the smallest team on the field. We play in an unlimited league with line eligible only restriction of 105 pounds. Our heaviest kid was 108. We only had two other kids over 90. My defensive tackles weighed 68, 62, 55, and 74 pounds. We finished 9-1 as our league champions. We gave up 78 points for the entire season. This is a squad that had 27 kids and we only let two kids play both ways.

Thanks so much for the information. I look forward to exploring the single wing this offseason.

Ryan Murphy

The Recipe: Continuing to Use The Single Wing and WT6 With More Knowledge & Experience but Added The Rocket Series, The Burst Series and Watchgamefilm.com tool

The Result: 12-0 with a second back to back Super Bowl Title (the best PF and PA in the league) Now with 2 years under our belt for the offense not to mention a year under our belt for the WT6, we were ready to go. We added several new series such as the Rocket, Laser and Burst series

In following you on twitter and hitting a Glazier clinic over the summer, I also decided to investigate the watchgamefilm.com tool. After understanding that tool better, I immediately implemented that tool for our coaches and our parents. I can't tell you the positive feedback I received from the other coaches and parents. Having the ability to add comments about what the player can improve on along with allowing grandma and grandpa to watch the game from the comfort of their home was a clear win-win for everyone.

From a result standpoint, we finished the year again 12-0, with 7 shutouts and another super bowl title. Every year it gets easier teaching the system but you must have the tenacity to stay with it and not give up. Trust in the system and confidence in yourself and your coaching team is a must.

Dave, the results quite honestly are wonderful because winning is truly fun but the real passion for us as coaches is to teach these kids some life lessons and keep these kids interested in the great game of football by making it fun

Dave, finally, I wanted to reiterate that “retention rate” (kids coming back the following year) is truly our #1 metric as coaches and I am proud to say that we are above 90% each and every year. It's nothing that I do individually but it is the collaboration of all the great coaches I have worked with over the years and their attitude and focus on the kids. In addition, having a solid football system that works has made our job much easier. You, your system and your coaching philosophies will forever have an impact on these kids and future kids! I tell you every year how thankful I am but honestly words can’t describe how much your efforts and sharing of your knowledge is appreciated. Best Regards,

Kevin J. Skibinski

2009- Dave, I attended your seminar last year in Cincy and my team improved from only 3 wins to 9 wins (out of 10). Thanks. Won League Championship and lost final game in Cereal Bowl (to team we had beat 28 points earlier!). Will try to make one again this year.

Glenn A. Deig

2009 Coach Dave, I periodically send you updates on our seasons over here in N. California and wanted to let you know about our 2009 SJW PeeWees (10-11 year olds). Following many of your principles in how to conduct practices and game plans our boys went all the way to the championship. Entering into the game we had been running a single wing and added a double wing series to throw off the D, but it didn't work. It was just one of those games you wish you could have back, but we ended the season 10-2 only having 78 points scored on us the whole season with 60 of those being scored on us by the team that ......yes......beat us in the final game. I have loved using your progression in practice in getting the kids used to hitting etc.....and will never go back. We were a feared team in the league and no one wanted to play us! Keep the info coming as I look forward to moving into the 2010 season with a kick butt bunch of kids and parents!

God Bless,
Daniel C. Hord

2009- Hey Coach, I am looking forward to the clinic again this year. I was you attendance guy last year in Denver, and we did find a way to run the single wing with 8 men. We averaged over 30 points a game. Not bad for a team that only scored a TOTAL of 35 point in 8 games the year before. Not quite worst to first BUT 0-8 to 5-3 is not too bad . . . AND we have 3 kids that played on other teams who watched us practice and they are moving their kids over to our team because the kids love playing for us. Looks like I will be coaching 2 age groups next year . . .

I will see you at the Denver Clinic. Boy do I have a TON of questions ready to go.

Thanks again for putting this system together!

Coach Adam, Cherry Creek Cubs

2009 - Hello Coach Cisar, On behalf of myself and the Lions Youth Organization, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Between coaching, running an entire club, running my companies and being a husband / father, the month of November and December has been extremely busy for me. It was a great year for my entire club being it was our first year. We had four padded teams and two flag teams. All teams were as competitive as you could expect for first year teams.

My 9-10 year old team went undefeated in regular season and playoffs. We feel short in the championship game by loosing to a team we defeated during regular season. My kids played their hearts out and I was very proud of them. My motto is "Coaches loose games and the players win them". I teach that to the coaches in my club because I have seen inexperienced coaches in the pass blame losses on the player when in fact the coaches had the kids out of position and or unprepared.

The single wing offense was incredibly for us during the 2009 season. Our offense put on quite a show for the coaches, the parents and family members who came to see the games. I am totally sold on the fact that there is sports, then there is youth sports. This offense is totally made for youth football. Our offense scored more and more touchdowns as the players learned more plays. The opposing team's defense had problems competing against the single wing, even after scouting it. The league we play in has very athletic and fast kids. You have to out coach them. The single wing offense totally dominated.

Keep up the good work and I will hear from you soon,

Rod King, Lions Youth Organization, Denver Colorado

2009- Coach Dave, Following your guidance and implementing the single wing offense we had a team go from 1 – 10 and in last place to 13 – 1 and win the National Championship. From worst to first in one year. This was a remarkable experience for all involved and the single wing offense, aside from allowing for all the success was a lot of fun for the kids. We look forward to a bright, fun, and rewarding future using your guidance and thank you for all the great work.

2009- This year was my sons third year of playing and again I was asked to coach but not as an assistant but as the head coach. I really didn't want to be the head coach due to having not played football at any organized level. I was pretty sure I would be getting in over my head. But as time went on I soon started thinking back to my baseball years and it came to me what being a youth coach is all about. sure I was going to have to stay up late studying our single wing and our 4-4 but more importantly I was given the chance to make a difference in these kids lives. Working with the age group of 11-12-13 was a challenge to say the least. We killed the opposing teams with our single wing and 4-4.We went on to win the next 8 games making it to the second round of playoffs losing 19-18 in double overtime. Not the perfect ending to an incredible season but we did take the title as division champs as we won all 5 of our league games by no less than 20 points. It’s not hard to see what direction we were heading in the early part of our season, but with a little help from your program those boys walk away with PRIDE.

Thanks for giving these kids a fighting chance.
Austin Veliz Head Coach Jr Midgets, Colusa Cowboys.

2009 Hi Dave, Your program has been very much a success for us since we have installed it with our Middle School kids Our final record does not show the true identity of our team but we still feel it was a great season. We finished 4-4 on the year. An important note about your 6-2 defense is that in the final 3 games we only allowed 1 score per game!! We played the 1st place, undefeated team in our league an lost by just 6 points. Thanks Again for all your support and help throughout the seasons!!

Corey Mac Gregor, Heavyweight Football Coach

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 dominate 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. 8-9s

God Bless,
Coach Jeff Osborn
Knox County Colt Football League

2009 Coach Dave, Our season is now over and we finished the season 5-3 ,much better than our 2-6 record last year. I got those last two wins after reading your book last year. 5-3 this year puts us in 5th place out of 30 teams, I am proud of that.

This season was great for the kids at school also, as we implemented the eligibility sheet. Alot of teams thought we were going to get beat up this year but that was not the case at all, in fact I had a lot of comments about our offense and how well organized our team was. There were 3 games this year we had 21pts in the first quarter, we steam rolled teams.

After this season we have all of our players and parents wanting us to move with the 6th graders into the 7th grade. Dave thanks for the book and system. I am thoroughly convinced we could not have achieved this season success without your resources to go to.

2009 Dave, I used your series of videos and your book to help myself become a better coach this season. I went from going 0 and 9 and scoring only two touchdowns all last season to going 4 and 4 and averaging 24 points per game. I still have a long way to go as a coach but your videos have helped considerably. It has been a lot of fun and I plan on taking a much bigger step next season.

Paul Parr

2009 Coach, Sorry I haven’t kept you updated but things have been somewhat hectic. We made the playoffs and we are the top seed in our bracket. We drew a first round bye and play our first game tomorrow against a team that we’ve beaten twice already this year for the division title. If we win tomorrow, we go to the Super Bowl on the 14th. I can’t tell you the improvement we’ve seen in our boys this year. We were 0-8 last year and scored 1 touchdown the entire season. I’ll let you know how we wind up after this weekend. Thanks again for putting this system together. It definitely works!!!

Mike McConnell

First of all I want to thank you for another successful season. We went 9-1 winning the league and the bowl championships. This is the 2nd year in the system. Last year we went 12-0, and my All-star team finished 2nd in the state losing in double overtime. This year we moved up from 8-9 to 10-11 and still had success. Thank!

2009 Hey Dave, I wanted to thank you for the help you have given me over the past 2 years of coaching my son's Lutheran School 7th/8th grade football team. Having purchased your book and a DVD or 2, I implemented your system when taking over the school's program last year and we went 4-3, and this year improved to 6-1. The thing I liked most about your system is the organized approach to practices and the conditioning through drills as opposed to running to run. Thanks for your help.

Coach Jeff Schlade

2009- Coach Dave,

I’m sure you hear a good number of turn around stores but few as compelling as the story of the Raleigh Redskins accomplished this season using the Winning Youth Football system. To say the Redskins were a bad football program would be putting it lightly. In 2008 this team was 1-6 and had scored 3 touchdowns for the entire season, the season before we were 0-7. Going back through the entire history of the Redskins they had never had a winning season and had only picked up an “odd” win here and there. In fact this story even gets “better”, the league is divided into 6 pods, and each pod drafts players onto 2 teams. The reason this is important is when a player was drafted by the Redskins it was often viewed as a “death sentence”, kids and parents avoided our team like the plague. Parents commonly called the city to ask if their kids could be transferred off of our team. Getting the letter from us saying a player had been selected by the Redskins was as well received as getting an IRS audit letter.

My son had the good fortune to be selected to play for the Redskins and despite suffering through a 1-6 season, loved playing the game. I was asked to help, but had only played 1 year of football so I got on the internet and started doing my research, that is how your name came to my attention. I bought all your materials and found them so compelling I asked the other coaches to consider using your system. In the end they all decided to go whole hog, we used your Single Wing Offense, your defense, special teams, teaching progressions, drills and even your daily minute by minute practice plans. This year the Redskins finished undefeated at 9-0. Instead of our 3 touchdowns total from last year, we never scored less than 3 touchdowns in any single game. We averaged over 27 points per game (mercy rule kicks in at 24 point differential) and our opponents averaged 6 points per game. We recorded 4 shutouts with your defense and won our championship game 27-0 against a team that has dominated us and the league for years. We were the talk of the league to put it mildly.

The coaches were proud of the season, but more importantly our kids had so much fun not only winning but using all the things you suggest to make practices fast paced and fun. Thank you so much for putting this together, you provided 30 children and 6 coaches an experience of a lifetime that none of us will soon forget.

2009 Dave,

We are just a second year American Youth Football program based in Temple Hills, Maryland. We are the Spirit of Faith “Warriors”. In 2008 these were our team records: TM 0-9, MM 9-3 (this was my team) Cadet 1-7, PW 1-9, M 0-9, Total 11-37. We were looking on the internet for a system that our entire organization could implement and adopt across all teams that would allow us to compete in a very competitive AYF league in the Washington DC area. After listening to you at the Baltimore Frank Glazier clinic, we bought all your materials and implemented the system with all but one of our teams in 2009. We used your offense, defense, we followed your system to the T directly from the book with no deviations. This is how we fared in our 2009 season: TM 10-2 (League Runner Up), MM 8-4 (League Runner Up), Cadet 11-2 (League Champ, State Champ, National #2), JPW 13-5 (League Champ, National #3) PW 1-8 (Coach didn’t use your system) JV Unlimited 5-4 Midget 4-9 (League Champ, State Champ).

Not only did were we able to compete across the board and do a worst to first turnaround with nearly all the teams using your system, we sent 4 teams to the AYF National Championships in Orlando Florida. Our cadet team played for the National Title and came in 2nd while our Junior Pee Wee team won 2 games and beat the 2 time defending national champions the Staten Island Hurricanes to claim 3rd place.

Our boys, our coaches and our parents had a very special season. As a Faith based program we understand the importance of keeping kids engaged, having a great season like this was a true blessing. All glory to God and thanks to all our coaches and your help and guidance this season. No one expected us to compete in our league, let alone win it and play in Orlando against some of the best teams in the Nation, thanks again.

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!

2009 Dave ,
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

Coach Mohead

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.

Thanks,

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,
Todd Reeves in Topeka

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

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,

Well thanks for your time & I will update you of how the season turns out for us.

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

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.
Ken Mathews

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!
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!!

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!

First Year Head Coach, Tom O'Dea
New York

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,
Dr. Scott Smith, Mountain Home, Arkansas

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.

Mokena Burros,

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!

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.

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

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

Thanks,
Scott

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.

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

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,
Paul. Knac

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.

2008 Aloha Coach Dave,
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.

2008 Coach,
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.

2008
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,

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.

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.

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.)

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,

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.
