We Believe

From the preface of the Olathe Northwest Ravens 4th Grade Football Playbook

We believe in running the football.

We believe that the triple option is the single most difficult running play for a defense to defend.

We believe that for youth football players, missed assignments (primarily of blockers not knowing which players to block) will cause offensive plays to break down more than any other factor.

We believe that youth football players can be taught to block, read, and execute the triple option.

We believe that the triple option play, and a few companion plays, can eliminate the size advantage that some teams may have over our team.

We believe that the balanced ‘double tight’ wishbone and the ‘double split’ spread formations that we will use most often, will cause defenses to in turn display balanced alignments against us, making blocking assignments easier to understand.
