The Mohawk Warrior Football program emphasizes the pursuit of excellence through a disciplined and cohesive approach to offense, defense, and special teams. Utilizing the Wing I formation, we prioritize a strong running game to demoralize opponents and create opportunities in the passing game. Our base 40 front defense focuses on speed and teamwork, while our special teams are dedicated to aggressive coverage and field position. We develop our athletes through advanced conditioning techniques, ensuring they are prepared for high-stakes moments on the field.

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” Vince Lombardi
Warrior Offense • Our success is predicated on a strong running game. • A strong running game demoralizes the opponent’s defense. • A strong running game “Shortens” the game, assisting your defense. • A strong running game “Creates” opportunities in the passing game.
Why the “Wing I” • Allows us to compete up front with smaller, athletic linemen by use of zone and angle blocking. • Allows us to be simple but multiple. We use a handful of blocking schemes for multiple plays. • Creates conflict in defense by use of misdirection…
Why the Wing I, Continued • The use of all 4 backs and the Split end as possible ball carriers prevents the defense from loading up on any single player or phase of the offense. • It is a “Series” based offense, with a direct flow play, a counter play and a play action pass play….all looking same to defense for at least first 3 steps.
Why the Wing I, Continued 2 • We can use multiple formations, without changing any schemes. • We can dictate the action to our opponent’s defense. • We force our opponent to defend entire field. • Our “Balance” is the threat of the pass, not in any pre-conceived ratio of run: pass • Our kids know it and believe in it….
“Believe you can whip the enemy, and you have won half the battle. “ General JEB Stuart
Mohawk Defense • We are a base “40” front. • Meaning, we can show a 4-4 or 4-3 depending on the opponent and coverage call. • We are primarily a “Zone” coverage team. • We believe in “Strike, Shed and run to the ball” • We believe that our strength comes from team pursuit of the ball.
Mohawk Defense, Continued • Speed and tackling ability take precedence over size. • We NEVER quit…..EVER
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won’t”George S. Patton
Mohawk Special Teams • We want to speed and aggressiveness on coverage units. • All players are in “Pool” • We keep it simple so that we can play aggressively. • Field position is everything. • We want to create positive plays on returns and prevent them on coverage.
JV • First and last, the role of JV is to prepare younger players for participation at varsity level. • It is the responsibility of the coaching staff to get repetitions of “OUR” offense, defense and special teams for the younger players. • It is “NOT” acceptable for coaching staff to “Experiment” with other offensive/defensive schemes on Saturday mornings.
Role of Junior High Program • Teach the game of football. • Emphasis on fundamentals of ball handling, blocking and tackling. • Develop “Warrior” work ethic in players. • Afford each player an opportunity to earn playing time and develop skills. • Teach “Team before me” mindset.
Warrior Strength and Conditioning • We use Advanced Overload Training (AOT) a derivative of the High Intensity Training philosophy. • We train to Momentary Muscular Failure (MMF) on every set of every exercise. • We use AOT techniques such as Breakdowns (Regression sets), forced reps and Negative reps to recruit as much muscle fiber as possible.
Strength and Conditioning, Continued • We train the “Big” muscle groups first. • We don’t believe that any lift is an “Accessory” lift….every body part is important. • We train to “Develop strength, not to Display strength”, meaning, we don’t work for single rep max lifts. • As much as possible, we try to be “Ground based” on our lifts.
Strength and Conditioning, Continued 2 • We condition with the thought that in any given game, our players may be involved in 80 snaps or more. • We train with goal that we will never lose in 4th quarter because of our fitness. • We train to prevent injuries and enhance performance….not bodybuild….but in training this way, you will develop “Muscularity”
