THE GOAL LINE AND THE PYLON

THE GOAL LINE AND THE PYLON THE MOST IMPORTANT SPOTS ON THE FIELD ARE : THE LINE TO GAIN ( Know The Down And Distance ) and THE GOAL LINE ( Get To It Don't Vacate It )

Only Part Of The Ball Must Break The Plane To Be A TD. The Goal Line Is Not Only A Line It Is A Vertical Plane. It Has An Extension That Goes Beyond The Pylons. Only Part Of The Ball Must Break The Plane To Be A TD. If The Offense Is In Their Own End Zone They Must Get The Entire Ball Out And Into The Field Of Play At The End Of The Play Or It Is A Safety

THE PYLON The Pylon Is Out Of Bounds At The Intersection Of The Goal Line And The Sideline A Kick Or Muff That Touches The Pylon Has Gone Out Of Bounds Touchback An Offensive Fumble That Hits The Offensive End Zone Pylon It Is A Safety An Offensive Fumble That Hits The Defensive Pylon Is A Touchback

GOAL LINE MECHANICS ON SNAPS GOING IN BETWEEN 10 AND 5 YARD LINE THE WINGS WILL MOVE FORWARD AHEAD OF THE BALL CARRIER TOWARDS GOAL LINE WINGS ON SNAPS GOING IN INSIDE THE 5 GO DIRECTLY TO THE PYLON DO NOT VACATE IT ONLY OFFICIATE BACK TO THE BALL WHEN THE PLAY IS IMMINENT IT WILL BE A DEAD BALL STRADDLE THE LINE EYES OVER THE GOAL LINE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PYLON IF YOUR PYLON IS THREATENED RETREAT BACK OFF THE PYLON STRADDLING THE GOAL LINE GO BACK AS FAR AS YOU NEED SAFETY FIRST ! Clear Out Anyone Near Pylon If It Is Goal Line Mechanics

REVERSE GOAL LINE MECHANICS WE NEED TO DECIDE INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE GOING OUT ...BOTH WINGS RETREAT BACK TO THE GOAL LINE AT THE SNAP OR ONLY THE LM ?
