OFFENSIVE SKILLS: STANCE
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN:
- Place the feet shoulder-width apart, in a heel-instep relationship, with the dominant foot back.
- Put very little weight on the down hand to allow for quick forward, backward, and lateral movement.
- Place your left arm loosely across your left thigh.
- Keep your back straight, with your head up to see defenders across the line of scrimmage. This position is the strongest and safest for the back and neck.
RECEIVERS:
- Place the feet shoulder-width apart, in a heel-toe relationship, with the foot closest to the football back slightly more than the other.
- Bend knees in a comfortable position.
- Keep weight on the balls of your feet.
- Square your shoulders to the line of scrimmage.
- Hold your arms in a comfortable position.
QUARTERBACK:
- Feet should be comfortably spread, approximately shoulder width apart, and as close to the centers feet as possible.
- Knees should be bent slightly.
- Square your shoulders to the line of scrimmage.
RUNNING BACKS:
- Place the feet shoulder-width apart with your weight on the balls of your feet.
- Keep your feet near parallel for a quick burst in any direction.
- Bend your knees slightly, with your hands on your knees. Place very little weight on the hands.
- Keep your head up and your eyes looking ahead.
- Never lean towards to direction of the play.
- Running backs use the same three point stance as the offensive linemen.
