 DESIGN YOUR OWN PLAY
We have placed your 5 offensive linemen for you. Now place the remaining 6 players
(1- quarterback and 5 of the following positions- Wide receivers, Tight ends or Running backs).
Remember 2 of the 6 players must be on the line of scrimmage. Once you have your team lined up,
draw out your best play. Don’t forget to be creative and try to come up with something that’s
never been done before. Good luck!

 MATCH THE PLAYER POSITION
Match the Player Position with the Position Description (i.e., “I am the player that throws
passes and calls the plays”, QB… “I am the player who blocks for the runner and protects the
quarterback”, Lineman…, etc…). Place the letter that would match the description on the line
next to the position name.

A. This position often lines up between the quarterback and

QUARTERBACK running back. Although my main responsibility is to block
for the running back, I can also run and catch the ball.

B. T his position is often lined up next to the tackle. They

RUNNING BACK spend a lot of time blocking, but they can also catch
passes from the quarterback.

C. T his position is the second player to touch the ball on

WIDE RECEIVER most plays. They are usually handing or throwing the ball
to their teammates. They also, call the plays in the huddle.

D. T his position is lined up between the center and tackle.

TIGHT END They spend most of their time blocking for the Running
back and quarterback.

E. This position usually lines up the furthest away from

the line of scrimmage, in the back field. They are often
FULL BACK receiving handoffs and pitches from the quarterback,
but they also can catch the ball.

F. This position is the furthest lineman from the football.

CENTER They spend most of their time blocking on running and
passing plays. They are often referred to as “protecting
the quarterback’s blind side”.

GUARD G. This position is usually the closest player to the sideline.

They spend most of their time catching passes, but also
help their teammates with blocking.

TACKLE H. This position is always the first player to touch the ball.
Without them, the offense wouldn’t be able to snap the
ball to get each play started.
