There are so many exciting things going on right now with the Pistol Spread Option Offensive system that it is hard to begin to talk about them all!
First, Coach Anthony Pratley has just finished filming the new video for Championship Productions on the Silencer package! Look for the video to release in the next few months. The Silencer has the potential to be a game changer! It incorporates the best of the the I formation with the Zone Read Option abilities of the Pistol. Best of all, it fits FLAWLESSLY with the existing Pistol Spread Option offensive system. Until the video releases, the best place to find information on the Silencer is on the PSO 2013 Playook!
Secondly, we are less than 1 week away from two major happenings! Number 1, the Pistol Spread Option Northern Regional Clinic which is being held at Chaska High School in Chaska, MN is less than a week away! The event is scheduled for Saturday April 13th from 8:00 AM CST until 6:00 PM CST. There is still time to register at http://pistolspreadoptionnorthernregional.eventbrite.com/ The Clinic features speakers like Maryland State Champion coach Luke Ethington, Chaska High School Coach Lambert Brown, and many other PSO coaches. Of course the founder of the PSO Coach Anthony Pratley will be speaking as well.
While that may be enough to make the excitement level build, we are just days away from releasing the newest version of the Game and Practice Planning software. There are two versions of the software coming out and they are both fully customizable to fit your needs! You input your own play names, formation names, drills etc, and the software does the rest! The first version is for Pistol Spread Option System Members only and it is a fully customizable version of the Pistol Spread Option Offense, complete with all the PSO terms, formations, motions, and the PSO No Huddle System pre-loaded. Of course, you have the ability to make changes to the software this time! Also pre-loaded are the practice plans that Coach Pratley recommends for the PSO implementation. The second version of the software is the completely blank, completely customizable version. This version will be available on an individual basis on the Pistol Spread Option website, and is designed to use with any offensive system, because you create it! Your input builds the sheet and allows you to print out a fully custom game plan as well as fully customizable practice plans! You won’t want to miss out! Check the website for availability over the next few days.
Finally, there are only a few weekends left for Custom install camps or clinics and Team Camps! Slots are filling up at record pace. If you are interested in a private install camp or clinic you will need to act fast!
Good Luck and thank you for being a member of the Pistol Spread Option Nation!

In an effort to make the PSO affordable and available to everyone, the PSO is announcing the new 2013 Membership Packages! Details can be found on the Membership Link at the Top Menu.
We are now for the first time offering the Mini-Clinic Package!!!
For the first time ever the Pistol Spread Option is offering a monthly “mini-clinic” Membership option. The mini-clinic is an affordable way to learn how to run the Pistol Spread Option Offense from Coach Pratley and other members of the Pistol Spread Option Nation. The membership includes access to online Mini-Clinics which will be held on the FIRST and THIRD Tuesday night at 8:00 PM EST every month. These online Mini-Clinics will feature a different topic for each mini-clinic, some presented by Coach Pratley, and other weeks will feature a guest speaker from the teams that currently run the PSO. The speakers will discuss their own “spin” on the PSO.
The Mini-Clinic membership will also give you access to the PSO HUDL account in which Coach Pratley will have video clips available from various teams around the country who run the PSO, and will also feature playlists and video breakdowns with PSO terminology! As long as you are a Mini-Clinic member, you will have access to some of the HUDL content!
The cost for the Mini-Clinic Membership is a recurring monthly charge of $25!!! It is an affordable way to learn all you can about how to implement the PSO! Cancel anytime, but once you have witnessed a Mini-Clinic or logged in to the PSO HUDL site, you won’t want to!!
Mini-Clinics will be on a first come/first serve basis for members! Only 25 members are allowed access per mini-clinic, so log in early!
All Other PSO Membership Options INCLUDE THE MINI-CLINIC PACKAGE at no extra charge!
