5v5 flag football play
Smash Choice
Smash with a choice tag: the short route adjusts to whatever the defender gives, while the corner threatens over the top. Tell your players: 'One defender, two answers — she's always wrong.'
How to run it
- 1
WR2 has the choice: pressed at the line, turn the hitch into a fade; soft cushion, snap the hitch at five and face the QB.
- 2
WR3: push your corner to six, then break for the front-pylon angle — depth before width.
- 3
QB: read the deep outside defender — she sinks under the corner, throw the hitch now; she squats on the hitch, the corner is open over her head.
Who the quarterback reads
- 1. Y
- 2. Z
- 3. C
The corner is first because the high-low read starts at the top: if the deep defender squats, the corner wins big; if she sinks, the hitch below is automatic.
The concepts in this play
- Smash
- A short hitch underneath a deep corner route over the same defender. He can't cover both; the QB throws off whichever one he leaves open.
Who should run it
Developing. Teams with a season together, or middle-school age. A couple of reps to lock the spacing in.
