COACHING THE

FLY OFFENSE
• THE DELTON FLY OFFENSE IS A MULTIPLE OFFENSE THAT
UTILIZES SEVERAL BALANCED AND UNBALANCED
FORMATIONS. THE TWO BASE FORMATIONS OF THE FLY
OFFENSE ARE PRO AND TWINS FROM SPLITBACKS.

• THE TWO PRIMARY BLOCKING SCHEMES OF THE DELTON FLY

OFFENSE ARE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ZONE. THE OFFENSE
ALSO UTILIZES TRAP AND VEER SCHEMES.

• THE BASE PLAY OF THE OFFENSE IS THE FLY SWEEP WHICH

IS A WIDE RECEIVER SPEED SWEEP. THE INSIDE RUN GAME
CONSISTS OF FULL-FLOW AND SPLIT-FLOW PLAYS.

• THE PASSING GAME CONSISTS OF 5 BASIC PATTERNS. THESE

BASE PATTERNS ARE USED IN THE 3 & 5 STEP DROP, SPRINT
OUT, PLAY-ACTION, AND WAGGLE SCHEMES.
 OFFENSIVE BASICS

• FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND

• SIMPLE TO INSTALL & EXECUTE

• IT’S ABOUT FOOTWORK, AIMING POINTS & BEING PHYSICAL

• LOTS OF RESCOURCES
• BOOKS, TAPES, CLINICS, PHONE CALLS, VISIT OTHER
SCHOOLS & COLLEGES
ZONE BLOCKING 101
• Zone Blocking Rules
• IF I AM COVERED AND MY BUDDY INSIDE IS
COVERED: I BASE REACH. MY AIMING POINT IS
THE DEFENDER’S OUTSIDE NUMBER.

UNCOVERED: WE ZONE COMBO TOGETHER.
MY AIMING POINT IS THE DEFENDER’S OUTSIDE

COVERED: WE ZONE COMBO TOGETHER. MY

AND BLOCK THE MDM FROM THE 1ST TO 2ND
LEVEL. B.S.T WILL NOT BLOCK 5 TECHNIQUE.

DEFENDER OUTSIDE OF THE CENTER. NOT
COUNTING A 1 TECHNIQUE
OUTSIDE ZONE BLOCKING

• JET BACK CAN START MOTION FROM SEVERAL POSITIONS ON FIELD.
• WE CAN UTILIZE A TALENTED WIDE OUT AT X RECEIVER.
• OPENS UP PASSING GAME. WE DO THROW 3 & 5 STEP PASSES.
