Double wing formation

Double wing formation

The Double Wing is an offensive formation in American football, mostly used at the high school level, due to the small number of plays run by those who use it, although those who run the plays correctly can become extremely successful. The Double Wing focuses mostly on rushing, and running outside and straight up the middle on some occasions.
