A QB sneak is MIA along with some more inside running plays. Kids that age have lots of energy, but still do tire quickly. If you keep them running outside all of the time then you will wear them out along with the defense.
If you have 3 quick runners then only keep 2 in the game and rotate all 3 in and out. For example each back will have 2 plays on, and 1 play off. This keeps your backs more fresh. The running back rotation also provides a means for getting the play into the QB so he doesn't have to trot to the sideline.
A few passing plays do not hurt either. Remember that most kids who play football on the sandlot or the back yard pass the majority of the time; give them a chance to show what they can do. I would put a quick passing game in there that is based on a quick 3 step drop and 3-5 yard patterns. Only 3-4 routes are necessary and your SE's and TE's can just mirror each other. It is as easy as 1-2-3-4 and does not require you to change your formation.
1. Out
2. Slant
3. Fade
4. Hitch
I can go on all day so just PM me if you are interested in anything else I have to say, or if you want to say "no thanks you are an idiot". Either way, I hope I have helped a little.
Edit. I didn't say anything about Play Action because it had already been addressed.
