This Red Zone manual contains excellent A-11 Offense plays to use inside your opponents 20-yard line
to help your team score points. In this package, we split up the plays by formation rather than by run
& pass.
Again, thank you for investing in the growth of your football knowledge, and we look forward to meeting
you someday soon.
Sincerely,
