What type of player is 5u Coach QB for?

Coach QB is designed to allow our youngest players a chance to receive the ball cleanly on offense while they are developing their individual skills as a football player. The playing format is 3 offensive players (plus the Coach QB) vs 5 defensive players. The Coach plays QB on offense to facilitate a clean hand off and/or good throw. Each offensive possession will begin at the "no run zone" line just inside mid-field and the team will be given 4 downs to score. If the team scores the ball is turned over to the other team at the same starting point and direction. No extra point plays on touchdowns will be played. Additionally, no official score is taken, nor will the 5u Coach QB teams have a playoff at the end of the regular season.

This league is definitely for 4-year olds, however, when deciding which league to put your 5-year old in (the 6u or 5u Coach QB), please consider the following:

1) If you expect your 5-year old to an aggressive player, put him/her in the 6u.

2) If you expect your 5-year old to be nervous or overwhelmed in the 5 vs 5 format, put him/her in the Coach QB 5u.

3) If your 5-year old knows the basic rules of football AND can take a handoff and catch a 10 yard pass with ease, put him/her in the 6u.

4) If your 5-year old has no handoff or pass catching experience, put him/her in the Coach QB 5u.

5) If you want to put your 5-year old in the Coach QB 5u just to see him/her dominate, put him/her in the 6u because you will be defeating the purpose of the Coach QB 5u (entry level football).

We hope this explanation helps. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.
