The Simplest 3-5-3 | For Youth Football

The basics of the pinch and loop 3-5-3 defense. Great for youth football but successful at the high school level as well!

Thanks Coach. If you had an H back in the backfield would you treat them as a back when reading the near/far backs?

[@chiefpigskin]

Yes an H back can definitely be a near back. but we would never treat him as a far back since he is not a threat to carry the ball.

What is this Whiteboard/Tactic Board website called? I really need it

[@chiefpigskin]

That's the playbook in Hudl

Im at a youth level with 7-8 y/o and we play 8v8. We are not allowed to have a nose but im thinking of doing this defense and have the nose be a 2 technique instead. No corners and no hound. Thoughts?

[@chiefpigskin]

We have had an 8-man coach use this defense. He loses the nose and the monsters

How is this alignment versus rollout?

Curious. What was your seasons like running this? Would you mind telling us?

[@natealbaugh3000]

Do you mean did we have any success? If so, I'm happy to share. So we've certainly had tough seasons but I took over 3 schools that were either winless or in very bad shape the year before we got there. That first season or two in each spot was always tough. But in all 3 spots we won the conference within 3 years. At all 3 spots we used this defense. Most recently was 2023 when we went 8-3.

@@natealbaugh3000 That's awesome. Thank you for sharing this!
