The Beast Offense is based on the Yale Single Wing formation from the early 1900s. The modern era of the Yale Single Wing started in the 90s and early 2000’s with several coaches that were on the old Delphi Swing Wing forums. Coach Calande coined the phrase The Beast in a publication around 2004 and the modern name overtook the original Yale Single Wing moniker.

The Beast has its roots in the The Yale Single Wing and Yale T Formation. Walter Camp, the Yale football coach, developed a play in the tackle-back formation for a game against Princeton. This formation eventually evolved into the Yale Single Wing.

The modern Beast Offense is now based off 3 to 5 main Beast Offense formations; Beast Tight, Beast Wide and Beast Double Wide. These are also known as Beast Tight or Beast, Beast Worm and Beast Jumbo / Spread. Some may also run a Beast Fat and a Beast Double Wing.

Many coaches are now lumping any direct snap offense into the Beast Offense family as a wat to categorize their Offense. I have done the same in my Power Wing Beast Offense in a way, but the pure Beast Offense are the 3 main Beast formations all based off the old Yale Single Wing.

Two plays that are widely run out of the Beast Offense are Beast Power and Beast Wedge. These are two of my favorite youth football plays of all time. Check them out below.

Coach Parker has been running the Beast Offense since 1994. He has been writing about the Beast Offense since 2008. He published the popular youth football playbook the Power Wing Beast Offense in 2017. Many consider Coach Parker an OG Coach Beast 1994.
