    We do work with a lot of coaches inside JDFB Insider on adapting to 8-man football. The Chalk Board Forum gives us a way to interact and help coaches adapt the systems. 8-man is a great game and easily adapts from the 11-man game on both sides of the ball.

    My preference is to adapt the 4-2-5 to a 2-2 type front, but that’s fluid because in 8-man you might have 4 wide receivers and 3 linemen or 5 linemen and 2 running backs. You need more ‘hybrid’ type of players, but the umbrella concept remains intact.

    Hi coach joe,
    Remember that I was bought 4-3 Defense. CSD was successful for 8 times shutout. But make a small school become 8×8 football. I wondering that you have information about defense 8 men ? Style 2-2 or 2-3 or 3-3 or 3-2 or 4-1 ? Feedback to me for idea of 8 men defense ?
    Sincerely,
    Coach Mario
