There are four Wing T formations formations that I would like to run . Pending on the players learning ability and comprehension of the system will determine how many formations we will actually install. If they comprehend the system I will add additional formations based on the system.
We will run a No-huddle Offense. The players will be required to purchase a Play-Call-Wrist-Band. The plays will be signaled in from the side line using a colors, numbers, and visual ques.

1. Rip/Liz (Wing Right or Wing Left)
2. Deuce/Deuce Liz( Right Ace Gun or Left Ace Gun)
3. Kong/Kong Liz ( Right Slot Gun or Left Slot Gun)
4. Air Force ( Two by Two Gun)

Types of motions we will run; Jet, Switch, Bug, and Rocket.

Note:Football games aren't won with the amount of formations or plays a team runs or the amount of defensive sets in the system. Games are won by good fundamentals, assignment football, perfecting a play, and the most important "Blocking and Tackling". I require all my players to play "Fast and Physical"

If parents have any questions please contact me using this forum. Attached is a video from our 2011 ER Football season that demonstrates some of the systems listed above.

2012 Season Twin Cities Wolverines

2012-03-11T22:45:00.003-07:00

In 2010, I took a small break from youth football and concentrated on high school. I was the Defensive Coordinator on the freshman team in 2010. In 2011, I quickly moved up the ranks and became the Offensive Coordinator on the ER Varsity team. After two years away from youth football I'm back to take on a new challenge with a new organization and team. I'm proud to announce that I'm going to coach The Twin Cities Wolverines.

My mission is to develop young men into responsible adults to encourage them to strive to accomplish goals that they set on the field and that will transcend into their lives!

My vision is to build character through hard work, dedication, persistence, and the importance of family and team. Our ultimate goal is to build Champions on and off the field!! I look forward to the season.

God Bless,
Coach Adrian Corona

Why I implemented the Wing T Offense

2011-03-30T21:50:00.000-07:00

In 2005, I was asked to help put together a Midget division football team for the Whittier Redskins Jr. All American Football program. Whittier did not have a Midget team (12-14yrs) for the past eight seasons. At first I was reluctant, due to the simple fact they were my rival growing up as a kid. But after some thought I decided to take on the challenge. I only had about three weeks to put together a team along with coaching staff, before the certification deadline. It was a challenge, but we managed to get it together. After a very disappointing 0-7 season, I felt that I had let the organization down. I blamed our misfortune on the type of players we had, but when it comes down to wins and losses....It was just bad coaching. We ran a pro-style offense and only scored two touchdowns the entire season.

Despite the terrible season, the President of the organization was pleased that my staff and myself were able to put together a team in a short period of time. To my surprise, he offered me the head coaching position for the 2006 Gremlin division (8-10yr) football team.

I felt that I could prove myself as a legit head coach. I put in place a staff of eleven coaches, which was my first mistake. Half of the staff was already in place from the previous season . I also added staff that came from the same system as myself. When I introduced the idea of running the wing t offense. I was met with heavy resistance from the staff that was in place from the previous year. So instead of taking a strong stand, I gave in and installed a pro style offense. To make a long story short, in 2006 we went 4-3-2 and only averaged about 14 points per game.

I was very disappointed, due to the fact that I came from a winning youth football program that carried over to my high school years. Our teams were always considered to be small in size compared to our opponent. However, in four years in youth football we won two league championship , a conference championship, and were conference champion runner-ups. In high school, we won the league championship all four years and made it to the semi-finals our senior year. Our QB was the biggest and most athletic player on the team. He stood about 6'2" and 180lbs. He went on to play college football at Fresno State. Our offensive line averaged about 5'9-180lbs. At 5'8-175lbs, I was the starting right guard and inside linebacker. Our full back was 5'6- 125lbs and our wing backs were no bigger.

After reflecting back on my high school years. I vividly remember our head coach explaining to the team the reason we ran the wing t offense. He stated that we were not big or strong enough to run a power style offense. It didn't make sense to ask a small lineman to attempt to block a 6'2-230lbs defensive lineman. The battle was already lost before a play was even run. Therefore, the wing style offense would fit our needs, because it gave the lineman an angle blocking advantage and confused defenders with all the backfield ball fakes.

Back to my youth football coaching career. I decided to depart from the staff that didn't have the same vision as myself .Which was to run the wing t offense. Most of those coaches pulled there kids from my team and convinced some parents to do the same. They said I couldn't win with the wing t system, because it was old and out dated. My starting QB and my best RB, along with some key defensive players decided to leave the team.

In the Summer of 2007, our first team workout was very scary. Our lineman were very small, we didn't have a true QB, and our running back was a girl. Whom turned out to be one of the best players I've ever coached. After our first day of practice, my nephew who was on staff said, "WE ARE IN TROUBLE!! WE HAVE NO ONE WITH ANY TALENT. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG YEAR." I simply replied, "We'll just have to do a good job coaching." We installed the wing t offense and only ran six plays out of two formations. We finished the season 7-2 averaging about 25 points per game. Don't get me wrong, we spent a ton of time perfecting our tackling technique and defensive assignments. We gave up less than 10 points per game.

In 2008, we went 9-1 with the wing t offense and won the league championship with very little talent. We lost in the playoffs to a team that had a great run and pass QB. Never the less, I was pleased with the accomplishment of our team. Thanks to the Wing T Offense.
This blog is open to discuss my practice plans, formations, and the base plays to run. I'm currently the Varsity Offensive Lineman Coach at my local High School. Thank you and God Bless!!

Developing a Productive Practice Plan for Youth Football

2011-03-30T01:54:00.000-07:00

A good practice plan is essential for the development of your team. You need to get the most out of your practice without wasting valuable time. Football is a sport of good fundamentals. If your team is fundamentally sound the winning will take care of itself. My first few years as a head coach I made the mistake of long periods of stretching and conditioning. I would spend about 25 minutes of my practice in this area, which would cut my plan short in all other aspects of developing my players. I keep the stretching and conditioning to under 10 minutes. My practice plans are very high temple and the kids are constantly moving from station to station. My number one rule is "there is no walking on the football field." Most my conditioning is implemented within the practice pace of the practice plan. If I do add a conditioning section to my practice plan the team usually run 10 fifteen yard wind sprints, which signified our season goal. The goal was to make it to the Conference Championship, which was the 10th game of the season.
One of my favorite quotes is, "Football is a game of blocking and tackling." Especially if you are not blessed with a talented football team. As a coach we all hope for those few kids that take our teams to the next level. It doesn't always work out that way. So as coaches, we always have to keep in mind to prepare our teams the best we can regardless of the talent we end up with. We should never make excuses why we cant win. Always find a way to win. Before you step on the field as a head coach. Make sure you always have a practice plan in place for every practice and your coaches have a copy as well. Winning comes with good preparation and a good approach.
Here is a sample offensive practice plan:

6:30-6:40 Warm Up Stretch

6:40-6:55 Tackle Stations (Four stations) 50%

1) Angle

2) Splatter

3) 1:1 Form

4) Three Hole Challenge

Lineman; pass block, wedge block, board drills

-QB’s; drills, three step drop, option drill

RB’s; 3 minutes blocking, bag and cone drills, ball security

WR; 3 Minutes blocking, catch and tuck, goal post drill

7:10-7:15 Water Break; Chalk talk

7:15-7:30 Mesh

Lineman; Review 21/22 Trap, 36 Power, Boot Left vs odd and even front

Backs; Review 21/22 Trap, 36 Power, Boot Left

7:30-7:40 Team Offense vs Air

7:40-7:50 Add 22 Wedge

7:50- 8:10 Team Offense Fit Freeze; vs odd and even front.

8:10-8:12 Water break

8:12-8:20 Gold Team "Two Minute Drill"
