Sean Biser of Keyser WV does a great job of pulling his G and T on rocket Sweep Chuck Klausing

Many years ago I did a clinic talk on Fund Raising People are still asking me for my notes. E mail me at clkb5401@earthlink.net for 36 ways to hav Fun in Fund Raising. Chuck Klausing

I have about 100 but will name a few.Mostly from a Place kidk formation.Help call when we get a bad snap. LSU fake FG. We run a shovel pass to either wing back with the holder throwing the shovel. Throwbacks with holder running right and throw back to the kicker. Many from Muddle huddle which is pre snap formation before shifting to Place Kick formation. Swinging Gate formation. We even run a Jet from this. They are all in my Trick Play Book Chuck Klausing

Many of you have heard me speak on teaching leadership to Captains and team leaders at Clinics,Camps and Banquets.E mail me at,clkb5401@earthlink.net and ask for 18 points to emphasize. Chuck Klausing

Coach The Fullback fakes opposite motion and blocks the first man outside the tackle. Line can use turnback protection. Q B does reverse pivot and let the motion be the fake.He quickly gets his feet set to pass to the split end. The split end can run a 5 yd pattern,Stop, Stop and Go, Turn out, Turn out and Go. Skinny post. This play gives great value to Rocket Motion. Chuck Klausing

At my camps we are teaching Rocket and Jet motion. With Rocket motion we run the sweep, Waggle and quick passing game. With Rocket motion we can run traps, down and belly series plays. Chuck Klausing

I have seen tapes of and 8-9 yr old team using wedge blocking and running many Wing T plays. FB wedge, Fake to F B and hand off to WB. or H B to HB criss cross with wedge. They fake jet and F B wedge. Now they are talking about fake of Rocket Motion and running a wedge offense. Chuck Klausing

All these suggestions are excellent. I believe in deviding a block into 3 parts 1. approach.2.contact,3.Follow thru Many times I have motivated blocking by grading the blocker on a 10 pt system Approach. 1.Stance. 2.Take off starting count 3. Step 1 I believe the first step in a Rt shouler block is with the left foot. 4.Step 2 I believe in the near foot near shoulder. 5. Roll shoulder.I teach to roll the shoulder paralllel to the ground. 6. Head up and pressed to shoulder So important to prevent injuries. 7.Body square with power angles. Follow thru. 8. Accelerate accomplished with good sled work. 9.Roll Hips. 10 Press out with the arms when stalemated. I have graded, youth, H S ,College and Nfl prospects this way. Chuck Klausing

Coach our camp at Adrian College Michigan is July 14 to 16. At Ky Wesleyan Owensboro Ky July 11 to 13. We have a new camp at Iowa Wesleyan Mt Pleasant Ia.July 22 -24 Chuck Klausing

Coaches have made some good suggestions. One of our best have been Blue formation. LHb goes in motion across and runs an arrow route. Slit end goes deep. Left T E runs an across route. Right slot delays and runs a diagonal to the left. We constantly have hit the slot diagonal for a 10yd plus gain Chuck Klausing

I agree with Cards coach. A back in full speed motion is faster than a back going in motion from a stance. It is similar to a Relay Racer. Ollie Madson in the 40s ran a pitch similar to the Rocket from a standing start. There has never been another Ollie Madson Chuck Klausing

Coaches What colleges do you see running the Rocket Sweep Chuck Klausing

I have a 50 minute tape of Jet Seep series Cut Ups Of Pioneer In H S Loudon Cy Va H S and Ottawa Twp Ill .They pull their guards flat and just about always have him in front of the sweep. I believe it is coaching. All 3 head coaches are line coaches and teach at our camps. Chuck Klausing

Tim Jobst the coach of Ottawa Twp IL is the best teacher of the reach block I have ever seen. He uses a technique like Jim Mc Nally the NFL line coach uses He does a pull step giving ground to gain ground and tries to hook like you advise.He never lets the defender come underneath and will drive the defender to the sideline if he insists on staying outside. Tim will be coaching at my IA camp and I want to spend time with him. He almost believes he can run the Jet Sweep vs any defense. Chuck Klausing

I am going to coach Youth football next fall after coaching college and H S for 46 years. No one blelieves in the Jet Series more than I. Because I teach it to about 40 H S teams at my 6 camps. I am not sure that the 10to 12 yr olds can handle it. I will try with a base jet sweep, and alternate play ,a counter and a playaction pass. I know if I am coaching 8to 9 year olds the first play will be the wedge and plays off of it. I am going to keep a Diary of my daily work that might be interesting.I appreciate your advice if I can teach a base Jet series to 10 to 12 years olds. I am sure I will find out Chuck Klausing
