The OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY for the JAGS is a SPREAD SHOT GUN NO HUDDLE Offense. All receivers and running backs are expected to carry the offensive load as we spread the ball around and attack all areas of the field. Carberry's offense has finished in the top 25 in the state the past 5 seasons with a #6 finish in 2009.  In 2008 the JAGS featured a 1,000 yard rusher, two 1,000 yard receivers and a QB that threw for over 3,000 yards.  This past season we once again had a 1,000 yard rusher and a passing game that accounted for over 2,000 yards.

Our DEFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY features an aggressive multiple front and coverage style that emphasizes the individual talent of the players on the team. Our defense led all Southern California teams in interceptions in 2004. in 2006 our defense was ranked #1 in the state in Total Defense at mid season and finished with a ranking of #16.

JAG SPECIAL TEAMS are dominated by speed on the coverage team and outstanding field position play. In 2004 Carberry's team lead the state in punt returns and had a first team All American Return man.
