3 yard box

This is great so far.

I've had more than one varsity head coach tell me they thought they'd hate the restricted area, but find now they actually like it (or it's no big deal). It's not the being on the field they want -- just being in front of the players and this has given the coaches a reason to move the players farther back.

We've had 2 sideline warning flags (step 1) in 9 varsity games so far this season. We have had one head coach USC flag and one assistant coach USC flag, but those would've happened last year, too.
