Coaches Reminder:
As a rec league, our focus is on kids learning and enjoying the game. Please ensure equal playing time for all players during the regular season. Wins and losses aren’t the goal, development, teamwork, and fun are. Let’s teach the fundamentals, encourage our players, and keep the experience positive for everyone.

Missing something in your uniform bag?

Reach out & we’ll get you squared away.

Defensive Box Coverage

Player Responsibilities

Short Coverage (2 defenders): These players patrol the underneath zones, keeping plays in front of them and picking up any offensive players that enter their area.

Deep Coverage (2 defenders): These defenders protect against long passes, ensuring no offensive player gets behind them.

Blitzer Option: Depending on the play call, the designated blitzer may rush the quarterback or drop back into a “middle zone” to help against short routes.

Key Principles

1. Zone Awareness: Each defender is responsible for their zone, but they must also match up with offensive players as they enter it.
2. No Deep Breakdowns: The top priority is preventing offensive players from getting behind the deep coverage.
3. Visual Balance: When lined up, the 2–2 structure looks like a box, making it easy for players to remember their roles.

Chris Farinato

Chris recently joined as an official after aging out of our Rec division and he’s already making a big impact! From showing up early and working hard to bringing energy and fun to every game, Chris has been outstanding.

Please join us in congratulating Chris on a great start to his officiating journey!
