Coach Gonzalez shares the 2023 Installation Videos he created for a 6^th grade consulting client. This client wanted to learn the spread passing game, while maintaining flexibility in player positions, yet being constrained by the limitations of physical development. Practice time and exposure to verbiage was limited, so a streamlined install was used that had:

No vertical reads (due to age/physical limitations of players)
Wrist cards and tags were the means of communication
A limited number of 1-word play calls were also utilized

The installs cover not only teaching points in the run and pass games, but include some updated teaching video and concepts. The pieces, though basic, combine to form a robust, multi-dimensional offense that allowed for growth as the season progresses. For example, the basics of the zone read and RPOs are there, should expansion go in that direction.

The entire series, covering 6 Installation Practices, contains 40 video segments and over 7 hours of teaching video.
