Become Unpredictable: Simple Offensive Wrinkles That are Fun & Easy - Matt Rosati

Utilizing trick plays gives your program several advantages. Among those advantages are:

  1. Forcing your opponents to spend practice time and game planning time to prepare for what you MIGHT do.
  2. Catch your opponents off guard in the game.
  3. Fun for your players and fans.

In this video, Matt Rosati, retired Head Coach at Perry High School (OH), goes through some of the tricks he has used during his career.

His entire clinic which covers special teams as well as offensive tricks is called "Tricks & Treats to Become an Unpredictable Opponent: Simple Wrinkles That are Fun & Easy to Install into Your Offense & Special Teams" and is available on Glazier Drive


Openers: Plays that start a series are great times for trick plays.

11 openers per game is the average.

You also get a first play of every game where the defense isn't prepared.  It is a good time to be creative.

Ideas for designing openers:

  1. Did you see what this NFL or college team did?

  2. Suprise me.  Players like to talk about trick plays they have seen.  He allowed them to come up with plays, name the play, and then practice it on their own.  When it was ready, they would show him and if it was good, he would use it in a game.

  3. It helps players learn the rules better when they design their plays
