Answer 1

Remebering the play book is quite simple when you break it down.
- Usually the first part of a play's name is the formation which you need to know no matter what position you are going to play.
- The second part of a play's name usually indicates if it is a run or pass (this is usually determined by a number system, usually 1,2,3,and 4's are running plays and 5,6,7,8,9's are passing plays)
- The thid part of a plays name (also usually a number) explains the action of the play
- for instance a play may be Right 53 (Right: explaining the formation, 5: explaining that the play is a passing series play, and the 3: explaining the routes that are to be run.
- I know this may sound confusing but if you break it down and learn each part seperatly it is less complicated

Answer 2

Try mnemonics. If you can't remember the plays you shouldn't be a QB. If you can scramble then you are athletic. Try to get on the field anyway you can if you don't make QB continue to learn the playbook as a receiver or running back and keep practicing your QB skills on the side. A high school coach normally likes to play conservatively so he would rather have a nonathletic QB who knows the plays then a QB who has talent. If you learn the plays you can be both but do not quit if you fail to be a QB right away.

Answer 3

I in that same position just last year. This is what you do improve you arm strong, work on your accutancy, and get on the practice squad offense also commonly know as scrub O. If your coaches see that you can make the scrub team look good then you well have a better chance and plus being on scrub O you learn a new playbook every weeks making your teams play book alot easier to remember.

Answer 4

Well u need to be a leader
That is very important

get in a good relationship with the offense
Kno every recivers Stregths and weaknesses
then get ur timeming down

as for plays draw ur own playbook to keep at home
when u break it down its not all that hard remebering plays

U have to be good under pressure
(like vince young)

Answer 5

Well depending on the scheme of the team you're on. Whatever it may be, try and memorize the plays more important to the schemes first then worry about the rest... like plays for third downs, plays for the red zone, etc.

Answer 6

You have to associate the plays with the play names. Youll have a wristband being able to see all the play names, so you have to be able to see one name and think, ok thats this play.

Answer 7

Rembering plays is only half of it, you gotta lead the team and prove you can give them the confidence to correctly run the play you just called. good luck though

Answer 8

Already was, in high school

Answer 9
