  • PHYSICAL EDUCATION Unit: Flag Football STUDY GUIDE
    FLAG FOOTBALL STUDY GUIDE Description of Game One hand or two hand touch football is a game which is similar to both rugby and American football. However, some major differences do exist: 1) The ball carrier is "stopped" when a defensive places one or two hands on offensive player carrying the football. 2) Blocking is not allowed, but in its place a technique called "shielding" is substituted. Both of these modifications are employed to insure safety. The ball is advanced toward the goal line only by means of the forward pass. All players are eligible pass receivers, including the center. History The game of football is an offshoot of both soccer and rugby. The colleges of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Rutgers were among the first to play the game. Since 1869, regulation football rules have been added and are continuously being modified, even at the present time. The game of one or two hand touch football is merely a modification of regulation football. Some of the major differences between one/two hand touch football and regulation football are the rules regarding "no body contact" and no diving. The one/two hand touch football game which you play in class is a modification of regulation football. The modifications which are made will provide for a safer, more practical and enjoyable activity. Scoring 1. Touchdown = 6 points. 2. Safety = 2 points. Some Players & Positions to Help You Understand High School , College , & Pro Football Offensive Players Quarterback (QB) - field general - after taking the snap from the Center, the QB can pass, handoff, toss, or run with the ball (only after a defensive player crosses the Line of Scrimmage).

  • Defensive Manual
    TEAMWORK SIMPLY STATED, TEAMWORK WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! Team Philosophy There are only three things that I ask you to believe in unquestionably. If you believe in these three things then you will be a part of this team no matter what your abilities or talents may be or how many mistakes you may make. Likewise, if you do NOT believe in these three things with all your heart and soul, then you will not be a part of this team no matter what your abilities or talents may be or how perfect you may be. You must believe in: 1. YOURSELF. To be successful in anything you must believe (care, trust, confidence) in yourself. If you do not believe in yourself, no one else will. 2. TEAMATE. You must believe in your team mate. We cannot accomplish anything of great value in life without help. Even Jesus had help; he had 12 team mates; it only took one to betray him and the team. If you have a team mate that you do not believe in, then we must build him up 3. COACHES. Finally, you must believe in your leaders, the coaches for we are apart of the team. After Judas betrayed Jesus and the Jews crucified Him, the apostles denied knowing Him and went into hiding. But their faith in Him reunited them and revived their belief in each other which provided them the courage they needed to dedicate and give their lives to His teachings. Thanks to those faithful 11, the teachings of Jesus live today. Nothing of any great significance was ever accomplished alone.

  • Conversations About Defense
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 4 (1983) CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DEFENSE by Stan Grosshandler It is difficult to realize that until relatively recent times the defense received small recognition. In truth, they probably did not deserve any for they were stereotyped, showing little imagination. As the two platoon system began to establish itself and coaches showed more innovation defensively, we began to hear of the "Umbrella Defense," the "Eagle Defense," and in the next decade such names of aggrandizement as "The Doomsday Defense," "The Purple People Eaters," and "The Violent World of Sam Huff." Stars of the 1930's and 1940's will tell you there was little stress put on defense. It was something you had to do until you got the ball back. Joe Kopcha, all-pro Bear guard in the '30s, described how he and his teammates would often lean on the men opposite them when the play went the other way. The object of the game was to go the entire 60 minutes and you wanted to conserve your strength for the offense. The word "pursuit" was rarely used. The great Packer guard, Buckets Goldenberg, brought out three interesting points: "Lambeau paid little attention to the defense," he said. "He felt we could always outscore the other team. I always felt that if we played the Little Sisters of the Poor they would probably have scored a couple of times." He also pointed out that when Larry Craig, the blocking back from South Carolina, joined the Packers, he was placed at defensive end and Hutson was moved to defensive halfback where he became quite good.

  • The Passing Tree Is the Number System Used for the Passing Routes
    The Passing Tree is the number system used for the passing routes. All routes are the same for ALL receivers. The route assignment depends on the position of the receiver and how it is called at the line of scrimmage. This system has all ODD number routes flowing toward the center of the field, while EVEN number routes are toward the sideline. All routes are called from LEFT to RIGHT. Inside Tight Ends, Eligible Receivers (I) , are also called from LEFT to RIGHT. The above passing tree assumes the quarterback is on the left side of the route runner labeled. Below are the routes used in this playbook: ROUTE NAMES: #1 – ARROW/ SLANT. Slant 45 degrees toward middle. Expect the ball quickly. #3 – DRAG. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward middle.. #5 – CURL ROUTE/ BUTTON HOOK. Drive out 5-7 yards, slow and gather yourself, curl in towards QB, establish a wide stance and frame yourself. Find an open or void area #7 – POST. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep post. Opposite of Flag/ Corner Route . #9 – STREAK/ FLY. Can be a straight sprint or "go" route off the line of scrimmage. #8 – HITCH N’ GO. Drive out 5-7 yards, curl away from QB, show hand fake (sell it!, and then roll out and up the field.) #6 – CORNER. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep corner. #4 - OUT. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward sideline.
