Beginner Basics for Flexbone Play Selection
May 9, 2026
Choosing what Army Black Knights and Air Force Falcons run 50 or more times each season is the fastest way to master Flexbone play selection. When two of the nation’s most disciplined option programs call the same concepts at least four times per game, those plays have proven they consistently attack defensive structure and produce dependable results. In this video, Dr. Lou Cella explains how studying these time-tested concepts helps you quickly identify the best place to run the football, simplify decision-making, and execute the under-center Flexbone Triple Option offense with conviction. Coaches interested in installing this system can visit Triple Option Football Academy or call 570-332-0265.
In 2024, Oak Hall won 4 games. Then, in 2025, after becoming a Triple Option Football Academy client, Oak Hall won 9 games and captured the SSAA Class 3A State Championship. Head Coach RJ Fuhr achieved this in his first season at the helm, which marked his second stint leading the program.
“When I decided last November that I wanted to move our offensive system to the flexbone, the first person I contacted was Dr. Lou Cella. Our coaching staff had an online clinic with Dr. Lou on December 23rd and had many conversations while we installed the offense during spring ball and throughout the summer and in season. We rushed for over 3,000 yards with a 5.8 ypc and won our Conference 3A Championship title. Can’t thank Dr. Lou enough for all his help!!”
