LINE OF SCRIMMAGE

Offensive Huddle:
The Center sets the huddle at a distance of 5 yards from the line of scrimmage. The first command given by the QB will be the formation, followed
by the strong side call and the name of the play. The QB will then give the cadence count and then repeat the entire call. After repeating the call,
QB says, “Ready”, everyone says “BREAK” and clap hands.

Cadence: “Down…Ready…GO…GO…GO”
