As a coach of a youth flag football team I want to make sure that my team is at the top of their game at all times. One of the main ways I do this is with flag football plays, I prefer to use the long yard plays over the short, mostly because of the room they allow for corrections, many people disagree and feel that short yard ones are better because of the speed you can execute them. While this is true, and both of the types of plays offer different bonuses and drawbacks I still prefer to use the long ones.
