@@yrgtay6655 Yeah, I know it's tough at first. Eventually you'll know how to do it and get the ball to the quarterback right. Once you do it'll just be muscle memory. One important price of advice is not to think about it too much because when I did that I started snapping all over the place. Once you get that muscle memory just fire it back there and focus on blocking, because that's your main duty as a lineman afterall
I teach my centers to go up and back with the ball very quick Motion up and straight back. This Takes away the ball drag and creates a better spiral. I understand what you're doing to Levy a ball drag is putting The ball on the nose But that is not very realistic because in my league you would be called off sides every snap . I have been coaching youth football for 12 years nowSo I do understand that in the lower levels most officials will allow for the center's head to be over the ball but when you get into the higher levels you can no longer do that.
I watched this video 2 years ago for flag football and our team went undefeated and I missed 0 snaps. Not gonna say it was my doing that we were so good but it definitely helped
I don't play linemen as I am just way too small but I've played on street ball and what now and I can't snap a football if my life depended on it much respect for the line both o line and d line
@@cobrak1ngs wow that's amazing I guess size doesn't matter and I'm complaining about being 6'1 guess it's all in the effort you put in good luck mate 👍
helped alot, im a freshman at edgewater high and im looking to continue playing center through high school. one thing i suggest is, hold your thumb along the laces, opposed to your fingers. it helps get a better grip when the ball is wet or sandy, etc. and another thing i learned is an alternative for learning to long snap. widen your base, alot. and lower your but, so if your snapping to a place kicker. that ball will go lower than normal, it decreases the margin for error. anyways hope this helped someone. if anyone wants a demonstration or further tips ill be glad to help.!
It would help a lot because my coaches just put me there because our starter hurt his knee, I used to play right tackle so I dont know why they put me at center
Very informational but camera work is terrible
7 years later this is so helpful! Thank u because I suck at snapping and need to practice.
❤
Thanks for your help with hiking
It's one problem with your snap. You are offside, your head cannot be above the ball.
Yes it can
Ive always thought u must say “HIKE” to snap the ball😊
What if your finger to small to get a grip
👌
Thanks so much I don't know how to snap but my coach saw me doing good and moved me to center
My son is at center and his snaps are going right a lot or low to the knees how to adjust that issue
Thanks this helped me so much because my coach doesn’t think I can do shotgun or pistol
My son is a starting center and will definitely learn from this video
JESUS loves you
Thanks for this. I’m usually a guard, but I’m battling for the center position this season since our team doesn’t have anyone to play it.
Exact same scenario as your in
Same bro, I'm a senior RG but our center quit and now the only guy we have is really slow and lazy so I got to learn how to snap
I got strength on the current center. All i need is to 100% perfect that snap.
Me always centering up on the ball 🤦🏽♂️ As you can tell I’m new to being center thank you like a lot
Don’t turn wrist
*locked arm locked wrist . Ball under nose Rest the ball on the first side of the curve
Have a good day god love y’all
Wish I knew this 2 years ago
I never snapped b4 and I did terrible last practice so thanks this helped
Andrew Shultz brought me here
Love foot ball thank you
Our center ineligible so I gotta play center tomorrow
Why am i watching this i play rb
I like this video, but I have to ask, Wouldn't this place you offsides with you head passed the LOS?
Yes it is offsides.
Thank you I've been struggling with this this year and I'm a sophomore center first year
Same

Same broo they put me at center and I've never played that position my snaps were so bad

That’s true. My son plays center in 10u and nose over the ball is offsides.

I watched this video 2 years ago for flag football and our team went undefeated and I missed 0 snaps. Not gonna say it was my doing that we were so good but it definitely helped
I’m playing flag for the first time and I’ve only missed 1 before watching
I can throw a football over the mountains
I don't play linemen as I am just way too small but I've played on street ball and what now and I can't snap a football if my life depended on it much respect for the line both o line and d line
I was a center in freshmen year only 5 foot 2 and I protected fine you should be fine unless they blitz their biggest guys
@@cobrak1ngs wow that's amazing I guess size doesn't matter and I'm complaining about being 6'1 guess it's all in the effort you put in good luck mate 👍

My coach eont let me
People say were slow, fat and useless in football. But I'm proud of being a center and protecting the QB. O-Line pride!!!!!
O-linemen make the best people - selfless, accountable and the only time you get any love is on film.
Without Centers there is no game
Don't forget that. Keep making the game possible 👊🏾👊🏾
Fat boys for life.
we make their jobs look easy
This helped alot
I am a center and you should not have you finger o the tip of the ball it makes the snap to high
Ethan Reacts where should you have your finger than
