In Episode 10 of The Field House Podcast, hosts Coach Tad and Coach Mash debut a brand new series: Feeder Focus—a deep dive into the world of youth football development.

This first installment is all about scheme—how to build it, teach it, and most importantly, keep it simple. Tad and Mash break down what "scheme" really means at the feeder level and why flexibility, simplicity, and execution are far more important than complexity or copying a varsity playbook.

Topics we cover:

• Why "simplicity is everything" when designing your offense or defense
• The importance of building a core set of base plays that players can master
• Why coaches need to adjust based on personnel (and not their favorite college team's playbook)
• How much a feeder system should mirror the high school varsity scheme

If you're coaching youth football, trying to get your squad game-ready, or just love nerding out on Xs and Os, this episode is a must-listen.
