Now in our 23rd Year, Option Central offers an extensive collection of information and educational resources for coaches of Option Football - and those who have to defend it. Our resource collections include both free and affordably priced option-oriented football coaching material.
Option Central Members have unlimited access to option offense videos from widely known coaches of Option Football like Tony DeMeo, Larry Beckish, Jerry Campbell, Rob Zeitman and Rich Hargitt. Our extensive collaborative efforts with Coach DeMeo began 10 years ago as we launched our series of Play of the Day Chalk Talk videos and The Triple Gun Virtual Playbooks. We followed that up with podcasts and a series of CoachTube courses, including Attacking the 4-4 Defense which Coach DeMeo explains in this video that was created to introduce the course's 3+ hours of video content:
Option Central Members have access to the material in this course, along with resources for Defending the Option - including articles, webinar style chalk talks and full length, DVD-Style videos that explain how to defend the option from various defensive schemes.
The Option Central Article Library includes articles provided by Guest Contributors that range from classics from (the first) Ten Years of Option Central to newer articles submitted in later 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.
An Option Central Membership provides access to our entire collection of articles, videos, chalk talks, podcasts and other resources.
