Coach’s Notebook Show Notes:

This week in Coach Grabowski's notebook, Coach Keith Grabowski gives us a page out his notebook about trick plays. This can be a very fun and valuable piece to a team. This gives room for creativity on offense and confusion for opposing defenses. He gives us insight on some of the most popular trick plays used and some of his own. He supplies coaches with a multitude of ideas that can be implemented in season as the end of the season approaches.
