Straight from the snake oil salesmen themselves...the A-11 forum:
I wanted to give you the best possible answer to the question WE get asked every single day, and that is....
HOW MANY TEAMS WILL USE THE A-11 OFFENSE THIS SEASON?
ANSWER:
To date, we have received about 5,000 contacts this off-season regarding the offense. At least 60% of those inquiries have been from coaches at the high school, and collegiate levels, One NFL coach too, etc.
Breaking it Down:
Nearly 15,000 high schools in America play 11-man Tackle football
There are Roughly 1,000 Collegiate & JC teams (Yes, we understand the more restrictive rules on A-11 for now)
So...
Humbly, let us Project at least 10 - 15 % of 16,000 total teams will Implement the A-11 in SOME capacity in 2008.
Whether they use it as their new base offense, in packages and/or as a trick play or two, etc.
Our best guess based on the feedback we are receiving is somewhere between 1,500 - 2,000 teams will use it this year. It could be a tad bit less, or a whole lot more.
AND: It is perfectly OK that in a Few states there is a Loud Minority of people that do not like the innovative and wide-open aspects of the A-11. Their attempting to ban it is Only Hurting the Kids in those few states because Most Kids love playing in this system.
It is going to Really fun to watch the A-11 Offense in action this fall in the states of:
AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA,, MD, ME, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NH, NJ, NV, NM, NY, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, UT, VE, VI, WA, WI, WY.
There are other outstanding developments in the works now that will once again benefit EVERY high school team in the country wanting to take part in the forthcoming projects on the board now with the details being worked out.
Thanks again.
