Sprint Pass Boot
Quarterback fakes power and boots to the backside edge to throw or run off the naked keep.
Concept: Line blocks power flow one direction while the backside end delays and releases into the vacated flat.
Grows with your players
Same play, more layers as they age up — teach it once and build on it every season for a consistent program.
- 12UIntroduce: Learn the footwork and the primary read; protect first, then complete the easy throw.
- 14UAdd deception: Add the fake/mesh — and a counter off the very same look. Add the play-action throw off this run action. Run it fast both directions and check into it by defensive look.
