Was coaching a team of 8 and 9 yos, we didnt have a kicker who could kick it more than 25-30 yards, so we basically onsided all of our KOs. A punt would only net 10-15 yards at best, so what did we do? Yeah, we went for it on all 4th downs, lol. Won our league championship and came in 2nd in the So Cal playoffs, which was a first for our league and city. But, that was 8 and 9 yo's, that strategy doesnt work real well once teams have good kickers.

Funny enough I was watching a program on YouTube about a High School Coach (kids were about 16-18 I think) who onside kicks every time. Won the Championship 4 years in a row - has three kickers, one of whom is a girl. When they recovered two kicks in a game they were 52-0!

Ballsy move, but NFL have basically made onsides kicks nearly impossible.

That coach is/was at Pulaski County about 35 miles southwest of where I live. He's made a reputation for himself. I want to say that he might have gotten a job coaching college recently.

For those interested in the coach who doesn't punt and always does onside kicks.

GG Bangles/Admiral. Tough game, you've already got that team looking a million times better. Can't wait to see what a full offseason does for you!

GG, Invaders. That was a defensive slugfest until the end of the 3rd quarter.

You drove some serious sloppy play out of the Thrashers.

Thanks, good game this one, the end of our 'win streak' lol. I thought we might just sneak it at the death but not to be.

Next season? Anywhere above .500 will be a success. Get to the playoffs and they'll be building a statue of me outside the stadium.
