Why the Flexbone Triple Option Offense Works When You Can’t Out-Block
August 28, 2025
Dear Head Coach,
Are you tired of facing defensive lines that seem impossible to block week after week? Do your players struggle to move the ball against bigger, stronger opponents? If your team is undersized or lacks the raw power to dominate the line of scrimmage, the Triple Option Football Academy and the Flexbone Triple Option Offense are your game-changers. Led by Dr. Lou Cella, a Sport and Performance Psychologist with a proven track record, our system empowers high school football programs to compete—and win—against any opponent, no matter the size mismatch.
Why the Flexbone Triple Option Offense Works When You Can’t Out-Block
The Flexbone Triple Option is a precision-based, system-driven offense that doesn’t rely on overpowering your opponent. Instead, it uses leverage, timing, and decision-making to neutralize even the most dominant defensive lines. Here’s how it transforms your program:
1. Neutralize Size Disadvantages: The Flexbone’s misdirection, angles, and option reads force defenses to react rather than attack. By spreading the field and using quick-hitting plays like Zone Dive, Midline Triple, and Rocket Toss, you exploit gaps and create opportunities without needing to win one-on-one battles up front.
2. Simplify for Speed and Execution: Our system is designed for rapid implementation. Dr. Cella’s camps teach your players and staff to master a small, highly effective set of plays in just three days. With over 600 live reps in a camp, your team will execute with confidence and precision, even against superior defensive fronts.
3. Control the Game: The Triple Option dominates time of possession, keeping your defense fresh and their offense off the field. Programs like Hollis (OK) averaged 400+ yards per game and sustained 8-minute drives, wearing down bigger opponents. This approach flips the script on teams that rely on physicality.
4. Maximize Every Player’s Potential: The Flexbone doesn’t require elite size or speed—it thrives on discipline and teamwork. Schools like Wyman King Academy (SC), with just 14 players, reached the state championship game by leveraging every athlete’s role in the system.
Proven Results for Undersized Teams
Dr. Cella’s system has turned around programs facing the same challenges you do:
• Bayfield HS (CO), with an offensive line averaging 180 pounds, went undefeated in the regular season and reached the state championship game.
• South Border (ND), with a roster of just 16 players, went from winless to 4-5 and nearly made the playoffs.
• Timmonsville HS (SC), with 21 players, went from 1-9 to the state semifinals after adopting the Flexbone.
These teams didn’t outmuscle their opponents
—they outsmarted them with the Triple Option.
