It's easy to forget your Center when you design your flag football passing game. You have to be creative when it comes to including this player in the read. It's important though. Often times, a defense will cover your Snapper with one of their slowest defenders. That can be a matchup that you want to expose.


Your Center already has an incredibly important job in getting the ball back to the quarterback accurately. Without that you are going to have a miserable day offensively because your quarterback will never be able to progress through their read or get the ball delivered on time to your open receivers.

This helpful article details how the smash concept is a great way to not only get your Snapper the ball but you can also get it to them on a home run ball.
