The Brookly Power I Offense has been developed over a period of many years. The main influences were from the Full House T, and a Basic I offense. The Offense has changed and adapted along the way to evolve to the form it is today. One of the bonuses of the Offense has always been the spacing and alignment. Since it works off arm’s length and steps it never has to be adjusted to fit the age of your players. It is truly a plug and play Offense.

While each play has its own unique blocking scheme, the general concept is to block down at the point of attack, and kick out with the Fullback. The course will cover the blocking schemes and variations; the main thing is to keep things simple and execute better than your opponent.

As a bonus, we are including a copy of Coach Cianflone's Brooklyn Power I Playbook.

In this eBook Coach Mike Rowe and Coach Slade Singleton diagram 13 of the most popular RPO concepts that have been used the last three football seasons at the high school, college, and NFL level. They also diagram each concept versus different defenses and how subtle changes will be needed to keep having sustained success on the offensive side of the ball. All the plays will vary from complex to very simple depending on the run or pass scheme you like best. They break down how to teach the offensive scheme to your players and play as fast as possible by giving concepts one-word play calls. Get ready to create some explosive plays!

The Pin and Pull RPO is a must have play if you run the Spread Offense. The Pin and Pull RPO is responsible for setting multiple records in the running and passing game at Crestwood High School.

RPOs are becoming popular in the game of football. So why shouldn’t you get in on the action? The Pin and Pull RPO is responsible for helping the Crestwood Black Knights increase their scoring from 11 points per game to 36 points per game in two years.

Doesn’t that sound like something you want your offense to be able to do?

Then get this eBook and learn how to put defenders in conflict, get your players excited about football, and shatter your school’s offensive records.

In this course Coach Singleton will describe a simple offensive system he has used successfully at the High School level.  Using the system he refers to as "More with Four", he has simplified the learning curve for his players.  Many coaches have 100s of concepts they want to install and use, but often times players have a difficult time executing them at a fast pace.  

More with Four:

4 Runs 
4 Screens 
4 Quicks 
4 Dropbacks 

Coach Singleton's teams practice these simple concepts until they are good at them and then they add window dressing to make them look different to the Defense.  In this simple system, he is also able to add RPO Tags to the Run game, as well as Tag Pass routes to take advantage of defensive matchups.  

Topics Covered:

- Coaching Philosophy
- It's not the X's and the O's

If you look back over the past 50 years of college and high school football, you will find that more teams have won more games with an “option" offense than any other kind… more than the WingT, Ace Back, Single Wing, West Coast, or the Air Raid offense. Not that these aren't fine valid offenses, but they just don't have the numbers that the option teams do. And of the various types of option offenses (Veer, Split Back, Wishbone, Wing-bone, Pistol, etc.)… the version with the most victories is the “wishbone" offense from the late 60's to the mid 80's! Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State, Nebraska, Arkansas, Air Force, and so many more great programs… the list of great championship 'Bone teams is pretty impressive, and long running. While not as flashy as the “air raid", the results are there for all to see. You can't argue with success!
