Procedure: |
The passing tree system is designed so that all even-numbered
routes (2,4,6,8) are run towards the middle of the field
and all odd-numbered routes (1,3,5,7,9) are be run towards
the sideline. These routes are used for all positions on
the field. Since the ball is always placed in the middle
of the field, the center faces the dilemma, and all of the
center’s routes should be based on the play design.
