Answer
Rick -
The best option these days is to "google" the offense youd like to learn. You will not believe how much information is out there on the net! Type in "fly offense" and see what comes up. You will probably get more info than you ever imagined.
Are you familiar at all with the fly offense right now? Why do you favor that sytle?
One quick piece of advice from one coach to another. It is always good to have a favorite style of offense, but make sure and learn several just as well as your favorite. When choosing a few, try and pick ones that are totally different as far as the type of players they call for. Reason being, a good coach installs schemes that directly favor their players talents, not the coaches talents. Example - IF I was a run and shoot coach, and loved that scheme, I might be tempted to install that everywhere I go. However, lets say I go to a high school and one year, have no good QBs... It would be a disaster, no matter how well I know the offense. SO make sure and coach to the players strengths, not yours! And if I had a backup plan, lets say a spread offense, that would be just as bad for me. Either one relies on a good throwing QB. So a good choice would be knowing the run and shoot, and as a backup, maybe a double tight end 2 running back power offense. That way, I cover both areas of possibilites.
Best of luck on a successful season!
