WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. . .

“We decided to add the A-11 to our offensive philosophy because we only had two real lineman and a total of 5 returning varsity players. We did have quite a few athletes that weighed around 170 pounds so we thought the addition of the A-11 would keep us competitive in a league and division where we were the smallest school. We used all of the three lineman sets and added what we call our "nickel" set where we have a trips formation with the addition of our two Anchors all on the same side. This formation was quite successful for us both running and throwing the football. We also added our normal spread and trips formations to keep our opponents from putting just athletes on the field. We ended the season as league champs with a 4-1 League record (6-5 overall) and lost to a school that was twice our size by a score of 35-21 in the playoffs.”

What the A-11 did, was help our teams compete and win a league championship. We were picked to finish fourth and in some preseason polls fifth out of six teams. It made football a lot of fun for our players and not so much fun for our opposing defensive coordinators. We also have more kids planning on coming out for football in this spring than in the past few years. We will continue to use the A-11 offense and we will only get better using it. It's the future of football!”

Tom Wallace,
Offensive Coordinator: West Valley High School, Hemet, CA


“Any good high school official who is competent would have no problem officiating a game showcasing the A-11 scheme. It’s really no big deal. We’ve had no complaints from any officials whatsoever that have refereed their games.”

Sam Moriana
Head of East Bay Football Officials Association
Northern California



"The A-11 is the most innovative offense since the West Coast philosophy. It is the offensive revolution that defensive schemes will adapt to for years to come. It opens up the game of football unlike anything else in the history of our great game! Football coaches across the country will have A-11 packages in their game plans forever."

Matt Lewis
Offensive Coordinator
Saguaro High School, Arizona
Two-time Defending State Champions


"The game of football is dynamic and ever changing. The A-11 is virtually on the cusp of revolutionizing spread offensive football. It's bold. It's gutsy. I can see it becoming a permanent fixture in many playbooks of the future!"

Tripp Merritt
Head Football Coach
Davidson College, North Carolina


"The A-11 offense should be a part of every offensive coaches arsenal, and defensive coaches better prepare and learn how to defend the A-11 because you will play against it."

Steve Jacoby
Defensive Line Coach
De La Salle High School, CA


“In my 33 years of coaching, rarely have I encountered something truly innovative in the game of football. However, the A-11 offense is revolutionary and will be a huge benefit for any coach that risks thinking outside the box in order to help his team put points on the board. Kurt Bryan, Steve Humphries and his staff have put together a playbook and a set of DVD’s sold through American Football Monthly that are first class and deserve the national attention that is coming their way. As soon as I implemented the A-11 system into our spread offense, our players attention skyrocketed. Now when I talk about the passing game, running game, play action game, everyone listens because they know they may be “THE GUY” at any time during the game that scores the touchdown. Our new team motto is All For One and One For All. Everyone Eligible! We can't wait for the season to begin.”

George Crace, Head Football Coach

"The A-11 Offense is great and our kids love it! It helps equal the playing field for the small schools like us across the country who are usually outmatched or out-manned in terms of numbers. The possibilities of this detailed offensive system are limitless and it's a much-needed evolution of the game!"

Johnny Poynter, Head Football Coach
Bourbon County High School, KY


The A-11 is a change-of-pace from most conventional football offenses. It's an offense for every coach at every level. It's a hybrid of many other systems which allows for balanced game-planning and it is a system that will put points on the board and people in the stands.

Coach Bryan may have just introduced us to a wave of high-powered, high-scoring and high-flying high school football! A record-breaking offense.

Doug Longero
Head Football Coach
Las Lomas High School, CA


“Whether it is the misdirection of the single wing, the “controversial” introduction of the forward pass or the high flying triple option, the game of football has a great tradition of innovative evolution. Kurt Bryan’s A-11 Offense can certainly be added to the list of exciting and progressive steps in the spread offense philosophy. I look forward to seeing this exciting offense in action …… I just hope that our team never has to defend it! “

Bryon Hamilton
Head Football Coach
Foothill High School, Palo Cedro, CA


“The A-11 Offense created by Coach Bryan and Coach Humphries has taken the term ‘thinking outside the box’ to another dimension. The A-11 is truly the next step in the progression of the game of football. If you want to take your team to the next level, you owe it to your program to take advantage of this opportunity. The material that Bryan and Humphries have prepared not only tells you how to run this offense, it allows you to open your mind to explore the endless possibilities the A-11 has to offer. The A-11 is without a doubt a defensive coordinator’s worst nightmare. Get onboard or get left behind!”

Mark Fischer
Head Football Coach
Louisa County High School, Virginia


"I had the honor of working with Kurt Bryan for two years while he was our offensive coordinator. I then learned the intensity and passion he had for the game. The A-11 offense designed by Kurt Bryan and Steve Humphries takes things to a whole new level. Every defensive coordinator out there better start preparing for this revolutionary new offense. The A-11 offense is explosive and will be a challenge to stop!"


Mike Profumo
Head Football Coach
Livermore High School, (CA)


“I think this offense will change the game of football. When all eleven players are eligible to receive a forward pass, the mental and physical aspects of the athlete are now elevated to a level that has never been performed in this game. The coaching now becomes even more vital due to strategies that are endless on both sides of the ball. All athletes think they are receivers, all want to be a receiver; they now have the opportunity to live their dream with this offense!”

Joel Berry
Head Football Coach
Covenant Christian Academy (Texas Private School State Champions)


"Not only is this offense thinking outside of the box, its spread configuration helps move defensive players out of the box and keep them guessing. It is innovative, safe, and effective for evening the playing field against much larger defenses. Coaches that have low numbers or smaller players should consider implementing this offense. Coach Bryan and Humphries should be commended for their attention to detail in putting together this manual."


Paul Smith
Head Football Coach
Riverbank High School, California


“The A-11 Offense is unique and refreshing. It has a chance to revolutionize the way offensive football is played.”

Tim Landis
Assistant Football Coach
San Jose St. University, CA


“It also spreads the defense from sideline to sideline. It also creates mismatches and, to some degree, you can dictate how the defense will play you. The offense in itself wouldn’t take long to install and I would think would be attractive to the players in the program. The nice thing is that you’re already in your two-minute, no huddle offense with the A-11 when you step on the field.”

Charlie Stubbs, Head Football Coach
Nicholls State University, LA



“…completely revolutionize the game of football…”

Mike Kuchar
Columnist, American Football Monthly Magazine


“A significant development in the history of football. Its potential to create parity, especially at the games lower levels, could lead to its implementation by smaller schools across the nation.”

Benjamin Bombard
Columnist, Piedmont Post



“I am an official in the South Bay region in southern California and a traditionalist. I was not sold when I first heard about the A-11, but after getting the chance watch it run, I am convinced that executed correctly it has the potential to be an extremely productive offense. What the A-11 does, if run correctly that other offenses cannot accomplish, is it marginalizes the advantages of a team who has a size advantage defensively. The A-11 increases the amount of area to be covered by each interior defensive player, forcing either: personnel changes and modifications to more traditional defenses, or both.

The versatility of the A-11 allows it to be used by coaches who have quarterbacks with all different skill sets. Running quarterbacks can be effective in the run-and-shoot type plays based out of the offense, relying on slants, dump offs, swings and designed runs. Big arm quarterbacks can also be effective in this system due to mismatches created outside. Due to the high number of wide outs, teams will be forced to match up defensive backs in one-on-one situations. Overall, if the offense is executed correctly, it can be extremely beneficial for any team, but especially teams who are undersized and have speed and quickness.
