Lesson:
Object is to move a football down the field to score a touchdown
in 4 or fewer plays. Each
time a ball is caught, the group will move up to the new spot and
continue trying to score.
Teams are made up of 3 or 4
players. First person
in line is the center (they hike the ball), second person in line
is the quarterback (they throw the ball).
When the quarterback says, “hike”, the center will hike
the ball and go out for a pass.
When the receiver gets far enough away, the quarterback
will say, “stop” and try and complete the pass.
If the pass is caught, the team moves their marker up.
If the ball is not caught, they will remain in the same
spot and try again. After each turn, the quarterback from the turn before will
become the center and a new player will become the quarterback.
Order goes like this; first person is the center, the
second person is the quarterback and all others wait.
If
the players reach the end zone (passed the cones), in 4 or fewer
plays, a touchdown is scored and the team will receive a point.
If the team does not score in 4 plays or less, then they
must continue until the touchdown is achieved before trying again.
For younger classes (1st & 2nd
grade), this rule can be ignored. |
