You say that but there is 1 clear best team in our division and then 6 teams that are relatively even and those games come down to adjustments a lot of the time.
Dude. The fastest kid on the field wins the game for his team. Toss left/ Toss Right, get outside. That is the whole game. Pray the other team decides to pass.
You aren't making decisions or win the game. You can lose them though with being super coach and trying to have crazy plays.
Teach fundamentals and let the kids have fun. You aren't going to affect the outcomes of games a whole lot.

This is somewhat true but like I said, there are 5 or 6 teams with similar abilities. All have like 2-3 top notch players, 2-3 mid level guys, and a few not as good players. The difference in games isn't usually who can get the most out of the best players but who can find roles for those mid level players to do the things they are good at and also find roles for the lower tier players where they can do what they can but not be put in a position to fail all game.
In our first 2 seasons, I agree that there was little we could do as coaches other than give it to the fast guy. Now teams are starting to throw with varying levels of success and defenses are learning to key on the better players. Sure a lot of times the better players make plays regardless but if you can make the defense look at you best player while you run or throw to your second best player then you win. On defense, if you can frustrate their best player and force them to go to their second and third best player, then you win.
