Now in our 20th Year, Option Central offers an extensive collection of information and resources for coaches of Option Football - and those who have to defend it.
After nearly 10 years, we launched a new design (Sept 2019) that, when compared to the previous design offers a more modern "look and feel" and improved navigation throughout the public and Members sections of the site. With any project such as this, inevitably there will be a bad link, typo or some other issue that we overlooked. We would very much appreciate feedback of all kinds - from both Members and Guests - especially if you encounter a problem or something we have overlooked.
The Option Central Article Library includes articles provided by Guest Contributors that range from classics from (the first) Ten Years of Option Central to new articles submitted in recent years. The Option Central Resource Library includes option-focused videos, podcasts, online books and eBooks, along with coaching forms and other coaching aids that are suitable for use in any offensive system.
Option Central Members have unlimited access to option offense videos from coaches like Tony DeMeo, Larry Beckish, Jerry Campbell, Rob Zeitman and Rich Hargitt, our entire series of Play of the Day Chalk Talk videos. Also available to our Members are Defending the Option articles, webinar style chalk talks and full length, DVD-Style videos that explain how to defend the option from various defensive schemes. An Option Central Membership provides unlimited access to our entire collection of articles, videos, chalk talks, podcasts and other resources at a cost of less than $4.00 per month (if billed annually). Memberships are available with 3 month, 6 month and Annual terms.
