How to Center Snap the Laces

Is in the snapping of the football is to make sure that the quarterback gets the laces on the snap. That is the center’s job. Our quarterback here today is a left handed quarterback so it is going to be opposite if your quarterback is a right handed quarterback which most quarterbacks are.

So the idea is you want to start it in reverse. We are going to give the ball to the center. He is going to put the ball in the ground. The quarterback is going to get underneath there and put his top hand in a conventional snap situation. The center is going to grab the ball and he is going to slowly rotate the ball up just to the top hand and he is just going to go real slow motion, take it up there to see if the quarterback is actually getting the laces on his top hand and right there, he is not so we are going to adjust it.

We are going to roll the ball this way a little bit more and he is going to pick a mark on the end and let us try to get the snap again to get it to lace. Slow motion, are you getting the laces, quarterback? The quarterback is getting the laces. Now, we know that the center can always find the N in the Wilson and put his thumb on the end and rotate the ball back so that the center will get the laces on every snap.
