Ball Ready for Play

[Ed Hickland]

All season long my crew moves at a rapid pace. On a running play the RFP sounds within 11-13 seconds. Pass plays take longer because of the relays. Most teams struggle to keep up with us.

Near the end of a half where a team is going hurry-up the only change we might make is to have the umpire retrieve the ball rather than relay if the play ends in a side zone.

My suggestion is keep a rapid pace all game long and do not speed up for the hurry-up.
