John Curtis Christian High School is one of the most dominant high school programs in the country, with 22 Louisiana state championships built on a veer option offense the school has run for decades. That same offense has been refined so youth football players can understand and execute it, and in this clinic session assistant coach Corey Buttone explains how young players succeed with the veer option when the drills come in the right sequence and the vocabulary fits the age group.
