Beating man to man coverage is actually very easy in youth football. Combination routes, motions, and play-action passing plays beat man coverage.

Mismatches favoring a wide receiver will always be an excellent option to beat man coverage. Also, play-action pass plays are good because they can get the linebackers to bite on the fake handoff, opening up space for the tight end to receive the pass.

Crossing routes where the receivers run across the field are great ways to defeat man coverage. Any play that has Mesh, Switch, Cross, and similar routes is good as a counter against Cover 1. Additionally, since Cover 1 only has a single safety playing deep, you can beat it if you have speedy receivers that can outrun their cornerbacks.
