Coaches Clinic-Center Pass Drill

It's often best to have the beginning player use a simple drill to develop snapping skills.

The center kneels on his right knee, grasping the ball in both hands. He then takes the ball off the ground and holds it over his head. With the ball behind and over his head, arms fully extended, he should pass the ball forward to another center, who is also kneeling and facing him from 10 yards away.

It is important for the coach to to emphasize that the center follow through after the pass and that the fingers of both hands end up reaching out toward his partner. The same motion is used when snapping the ball between his legs.
