center snap

A few things to remeber is that every kid is a little different and what works for one kid does not always work for the next. Some of my kids did better when they focused on the voice and snapped to it. Others I told them to try and put it through the chest of the QB. Others were naturals at it. Once they have the mechanics of the snap, make sure they then progress to snapping and stepping at the same time. This can often make the snap go to the left or right. Have them work on stepping using all the possibel footwork. We tell them if they miss, they have to miss low so the QB can field it. Lastly do not ever let them turn around to see where the snap goes. Turnign around will not correct the snap and will only get them hurt.

Snappping and stepping is the way to go , but on the high school level I always stressed make a good snap and then worry about stepping to your block. Never saw the wisdom in making a good block if the sanp was errant because of the center concentrating too much on his block. Just my opinion as always.

wOLVERINE,

STEPPING AND SNAPPING IS mandatory ON THE COLLEGE LEVEL AND ABOVE, but in HS level play always felt that getting the ball to the QB came first and foremost. It is great when you have a HS level player who can master the snap and step technique as he will really have a leg up if he goes on to college ball.
