It is with my sincerest apologies that I place this post; it is possible that the thread titled, “England's approach to youth soccer”, ended up locked because of me. If I offended anyone, I want to apologize because that was not then, or now my intention. Anyone who knows me can tell you that it would have been out of character for me to do such a thing (either directly with mal intent, or indirectly by provoking it). This place is an invaluable source of information to me, and I would not want to jeopardize my associations with any of you. I will make an honest effort going forward to ensure that my posts do not come off as a condescending or me being rude, or sarcastic (unless it is about myself), in the interest of trying to be funny or smarter than the next person.
Moving forward, I need a drill to teach a center on how to snap a ball quickly. Not the snapping technique or snapping strength, just something that will make him go faster. Any ideas?

Take a two by four, place it on a fulcrum so that the 2x4 will hit him in the nuts if you step on one end. Tell him the only thing that is protecting his nuts form the 2x4 is the ball. He has to get it up fast because when you say "go" he has to snap the ball up before you can stomp on the 2x4 and render his nuts useless. May or may not be lawsuit friendly.

eickst,
LOL. I may just try that drill. My center was a bit slow.
coachtabales,
I put a kid in front of my center and had him give the center a two-handed shove when he hiked. It wasn't a real hard shove. But, the center had to make the snap faster in order to be braced for the shove.
Maybe you could try swatting at the ball. But, I think just putting a NG in front of the center to shove, go around, or attack the center will probably help.

OUCH!! How fast do you think he'll be able to snap it after he gets whacked in the b**ls? Motivate not castrate!

Not saying he'll be able to have kids but he will snap the ball damn fast. And we're here to win now not with his kids 25 years from now. |

eickst, I know I am kind of late but that is the funniest post I have seen anywhere in a while. It is good to come home from a long day at work and see that someone still has a sense of humor! I have tears in my eyes, I laughed so hard, that sounded like something Bernie Mac would do if he were a frigging football coach! (R.I.P Bernie Mac) Thanks for the laugh of the day and I am sure it would work! I might have to implement that in my sons practices! LMFAO!
