Transition: Ss leave footballs at their field

and jog to T
Questions: -What is a passing pattern? -Why
do we use patterns?
Answers: -Passing patterns in football are
routes the receivers run while on offense.
Passing patterns are used to create space
between the receiver and the defender.
They should be pre-planned for every play.

the hook-passing pattern.

quarterback (QB)
2.Wide receiver (WR) runs out 10 yards
and cuts in a hook shape back towards the
QB
3.QB throws ball as the WR is turning back .

Rules of the Activity: Ss will have 10
seconds to decide positions (QB, WR, C).
-Set up in their boundaries. C will be in
front of the QB and WR will be on the right
side of the QB.
- After 3 times on the right, switch to left,
and then rotate positions.
-Extension Up: WR will run farther away
before hooking back.
