I'm going to coach a flag football team for boys age 9 -10Yrs. Just looking for some help with some simple plays for them.

Go to the library and use their photo copier.

Since they can't really pass at that age and you really probably can't get them to remember much, I suggest:
Offensive plays:
The pitch (left and right)
The screen
The draw/run up the middle
The flea flicker (a fake draw with a pass up the center to the guy running the fake, often thrown as a underhand pitch).

I'd play the offense more like rugby at that age. The defense is probably more likely to bite on the fake.

Defense with a 4 3 patten:
The run plug
The CB and safety blitzs
Man to man
the zone blitz

Don't get fancy because the play will most likely break down as kids forget where they are suppose to go. Even in the NFL, blocks are missed, people bite on fakes and the reverse/double reverse more than likely won't work. Also in the NFL, there are plenty of bread and butter plays. Sure their playbook is extremely thick, but for a game, they have like 16 plays and flip direction them to make 32 plays. Also Farve would often throw screen (sometimes 30% in a game), Rice would often run the slant and the precentage of zone blitzes have run up to 80% on some games.
