Preview of the 2026 Three-Step Clinic
The 2026 Triple Option Football Academy Three-Step Clinic, available online in November, is a cornerstone of the Academy’s educational approach, designed to equip coaches with the knowledge to install and execute the Flexbone Triple Option offense. Here’s a preview of what clients will receive:
Step One: Purpose, Positioning, Play-Calling, and Pre-Installation of the Zone Dive Series
• Overview: Learn the foundational principles of the Flexbone Triple Option, including its purpose in controlling the game and exploiting defensive weaknesses. This step covers player positioning, initial play-calling strategies, and the pre-installation of the Zone Dive Series, a critical component for establishing the run game.
• Key Takeaways: Coaches will understand how to align players for maximum effectiveness, call plays that force defenses to adjust, and prepare for the Zone Dive, setting the stage for a high-efficiency offense. Expect detailed breakdowns of assignments and techniques, as seen in programs like Scobey (MT), which simplified their offense to reach the state semifinals.
Step Two: Installing the Constraints
• Overview: This step focuses on adding complementary plays (e.g., Kick, Down, Midline Triple Option) that constrain defensive adjustments to the Zone Dive. Coaches learn how to counter defensive alignments and maintain offensive unpredictability.
• Key Takeaways: Clients will gain a step-by-step process for installing these plays, with emphasis on rapid teaching and player execution. Testimonials, like those from Bayfield (CO) with a 180-pound offensive line, highlight how these constraints enabled an undefeated regular season by keeping defenses off balance.
Step Three: Practicing the 2026 Flexbone Offense
• Overview: Learn how to structure practices to achieve mastery of the Flexbone offense. This includes elite practice plans tailored for the Triple Option, ensuring players get sufficient reps (e.g., 1,200 live plays in three weeks, as per the Training Camp Mastery Plan). The step emphasizes game-like scenarios and situational football.
• Key Takeaways: Coaches will receive specific drills and schedules to optimize practice time, as praised by Travis Foster (Shadow Ridge), who credited Dr. Cella’s practice structure for leading Nevada’s 4A in rushing. The clinic also includes access to a live Q&A webinar with Dr. Cella for personalized guidance.
Additional Clinic Benefits
Video Library Access: Over 100 hours of camp, drill, clinic, and game footage, including state championship performances, to visualize the offense in action.
24/7 Support: Dr. Cella’s ongoing availability ensures coaches can address challenges in real-time, as noted by multiple coaches (e.g., Brock Berryhill, Scobey).
Proven Framework: The clinic distills Dr. Cella’s expertise, backed by his 3.92 GPA Psy.D. and research on the 80/20 Rule, into a clear, actionable system that has driven success for programs like Cashmere (WA) and Ontario Christian (CA).
