Snapping- Handing or passing the ball back from its position on the ground with a quick continuous motion of the hands.

Neutral Zone- A 3 yd. area separating the defensive team from the line of scrimmage. Line of Scrimmage- Offense: imaginary line drawn from the front tip of the ball and parallel to the end line. Defense: a line 3 yds. from and parallel to the offensive line of scrimmage. Lateral Pass- A pass that is thrown sideways or back toward the passers goal. Punt- The ball is held and dropped over the foot and kicked after a snap from the center. Kick Off- Kick where the ball is placed on the ground at the beginning of each half and after a score.
