NEW! 5-DVD "OPEN WING VIRTUAL CLINIC" SET - If you've been followIng my site for any length of time, you know that I worked for some time to combine the solid, sound blocking and running game of the Double Wing with the passing game of the Run and Shoot that I once ran - way back in the early 80s. 

A lot of things motivated me to do it -
I thought our linemen could block it without doing anything different from what they'd been doing
I didn't always have the stud fullback who could make the kickout block on Super Power
I was often short on good running backs
I was almost always short on tight ends
But I usually had a good receiver or two and I wanted to take advantage of them
I wanted to get my QB more involved in the offense than he was in my Double-Tight Double-Wing
I wanted to have a better "third-and-long" package
I wanted what we did in our summer 7-on-7 work to have some carry-over to the fall
I wanted to be able to tap into some of the innovative things other coaches have been doing offensively
And finally - I wanted to give Double Wing coaches a way to get people off their backs - to help them get around the stigma that often attaches to our offense - to give them a way to run a slick, more up-to-date appearing offense while actually running Double Wing "under the hood."
I came to call what resulted the "Open Wing" (thanks to my friend Brian Mackell for the idea), and in our first year of running it at North Beach High (Ocean Shores, Washington), while testing it and refinIing it,  we finished 7-3, only the school's second winning record in ten years.  The next two years, as we got better at what we were doing, we had back-to-back unbeaten regular seasons, finishing 10-1 and 9-1.  In the 2015 regular season, we were the highest-scoring team in the state of Washington at all levels. 

After three years of work, I believe I came up with something to share with other coaches.  (Several of us got together at a clinic in Kansas City back in the spring, and the coaches who attended seemed to think so, too.) 
If you weren't able to make it to that Kansas City clinic, here's your chance to "attend." 

I was able to re-create the clinic, assembling all the video that I showed, plus quite a bit more that I felt I needed to add.  The result is a series of five DVDs, each roughly an hour in length: the first one gets you started with the basics, and from there, each DVD can stand on its own - the second one offers a basic offensive package to get anyone started if that's all you want;  the third introduces the basics of our passing game; the fourth shows how we have expanded the offense through formationing; and the fifth gets into employing the Open Wing principles with a QB under center - plus an overview of the very basic but solid Double Wing package that we jump in and out of. 

I priced the DVDs at $39.95 each, but because I believe that the entire series is important, I've priced it as a set so that you can purchase all five DVDs for less than the cost of buying four  separately.
