How to teach Power Sweep Right

By FlagPlays · Updated . Practical starting points for volunteer coaches. Check your competition’s rules before using a play.

Left and right refer to the diagram. Route depths are illustrations; adjust them to your field and players. Check eligibility, running and rush rules.

When to try it
Practice a handoff toward the right edge when running is permitted. Despite the play's name, no blocking assignment is drawn.
Quarterback's plan
The call goes to RB. Before the snap, check the right-side space and whether the field position allows a run; choose another call if it does not.
Teaching cue
Runner: secure the ball, get width, then turn upfield.
Common mistake
Treating Y and Z as lead blockers. They have no route drawn and must not obstruct defenders.
