Rule 7

As I read through the NFHS Football rule book, here are some rules that stand out to me as important to know, either because they are tricky, get overlooked, or because a coach may hammer ask you about them.

Right now I'm spending time of the passing game, so I'll concentrate on Rule 7. Last summer I studied the definitions, so you'll also see some of Rule 2 in here.

7-1-1 Paraphrased: Snapper may be over the ball. Meaning: His head and shoulders can be over the ball just so his feet are behind it.

7-1-2 Paraphrased: Snapper may lift or roll the ball horizontally to get grip it but he cannot roll it end to end. Meaning: He can't change what yard line it's on.
