6 Man Crews?

[TXMike]

Our Chapter has offered 6 man crews for several years and we get 5 - 10 games a year where schools agree to the crew size.

It does have the advantage of letting you get more guys involved in varsity games if that happens to be a concern in your area (i.e. too many refs and not enough varsity games). It also does give better sideline coverage and coverage in the out of bounds areas. There are some real problems with coverage in the middle of the field though unless your F and S are really in synch. If you do not do it often (which we do not) there can be some real mental errors leading to coverage problems.
