I am now an offensive coordinator

For our upcoming homecoming week (still in High School here), we are having a PowderPuff Football tournament. Which means, girls play football, guys coach. I've never played a down of football in my life, but one of my friends is the HC and asked me to be the offensive coordinator.

Got any ideas for a good solid offense....which consists of about 4 plays? :lol:

But anyway, I'm thinking of running a gigantic spread offense, because everyone is an eligible receiver in our games. So basically no offensive line, 9 people on the line of scrimmage, QB in shotgun with a HB. I figure I can get about ~3 quality running plays out of this, with a screen and pass as well. Knowing the football ignorance of girls, I basically know the defense will just line up woman-to-woman, so I think if i do this i already will know how the defense will react, making my job easy as pie.

Any suggestions?

GBR :bonez can't wait to wear my Nebraska coaches gear on the sidelines and look official!

Bingo. I was discussing what i can and can not do rule-wise with my PE teacher today (The ref) and I got the comment: "Tom Osborne would be disapointed. A Nebraska fan running the spread. Geez"

 
What? it could be the spread option!

Seriously though, if you can teach them the difference between a fly, curl, post, and drag route. Then all you need to do is mix them up between receivers in like three formations max. I highly doubt you will need anything as advanced as screens and draws, unless these are some savvy chicks!

 
what ever play you plan on using, make sure to draw them up on 3X5 cards and then show them to the players rig before the play.

that way they know what to do on each play

 
Haha, true that, the girls got mad at me earlier because "thats too complicated, i don't understand it, waahhh". Well, yeah, when i draw it on a whiteboard, it would look complicated to girls. Its easier once its on the field with real examples, ladies!

 
Just got back from our first practice, and i must say, I'm extremely impressed with the girls. I had a playbook of 9 plays (4 run, 2 pass, 3 trick) and we got all the run and pass plays in. They were executing really well and i was impressed by their receiving and blocking skills quite a bit. This spread thing we're using is going to work well i think. Here's my final formation i settled on for all our plays:

X..........X..........X..........X..........X..........X..........X

..............................X...........X.............................

....................................X..X................................

About 4-5 yards in between everyone on the line. Same for the 2 "fullbacks" or whatever you want to call them, they're basically linemen. Then our 2 skill position players!

I'm pumped. I think I'm going to script the plays :P
