So true... the benefit of having played or even been on the team in a college program and exposure to offensive structure and drills at that level is a tremendous experience that manifests itself in better coaching, no matter from what decade, the fundamental concepts really have not changed that much over time. Not every town at every age level really has that depth--even in the "good programs".

Wait what? Offensive structure in the youth game?

Youth lax should be about throwing, catching and having fun. Only the dad himself cares about his own lax career 30 years ago.

"Offensive structure" at that age means spreading out on the field and constantly moving around, and there's nothing wrong with teaching that to even very young kids.
