Study materials

Thanks guys. I do like the simplified and illustrated version and I also find the casebook to be confusing, it makes my head spin sometimes. Where can I find the Reddings guide?

I know Honig's has it here. I'm sure it's available through other sources.

Just be mindful that there are two different guides...one for NCAA rules and one for NFHS rules. Be sure to pick the right one!

I just find that odd. Usually the casebook is written just like you would describe a play in conversation. The rulebook is where I had problems learning from scratch. I am also a little afraid of relying on the Reddings book because so much of the plays have problems or inaccurate when it comes to certain levels. But I am sure that is not a big deal, but just do not want to take the book's word for things and find out later there was a mistake.

You might also want to try "Rules by Topic" that is produced by the NF and Referee. Basically the book takes plays from the Casebook and puts them with the actual rules wording on many areas in the game. Great study tool and you do not have to go open up two different books to find some basic plays associated with a rule. Just one more tool to use.

Peace

Just a suggestion about the Case Book. I found reading a play, with variations a,b,c,d and then reading rulings a,b,c,d often confusing. Reading the play and variation A, then reviewing ruling A before going on to consider each play variation and their associated ruling separately seemed to make things a lot clearer and easier to grasp.
