1. 1 6 Man Mechanics Meeting of 11 October 2007

2. 2 Our Mission Quickly review procedures following a safety Review 6 man mechanics in detail

3. 3 Procedures Following A Safety Team whose goal line is involved puts the ball in play by a free kick from their 20 (unless moved by penalty) 8-5-4. Team can use a drop kick, place kick or punt (2-24-6, 2-24-7, 2-24-8). If they use a place kick they can use a tee (2-24-7). K can designate the spot along the 20 yard line (4-3-6c) Free kick out of bounds restrictions apply.

4. 4 General Topics Source is the 6 man slide show that is linked to the Chapter web site We add a Field Judge, who is partnered with the Linesman FJ and BJ work sideline in, 15-20 yards deep The Line Judge and Back Judge are partners Field Judge is the alternate timer

5. 5 Coin Toss R and U stand in the middle of the field Field Judge and Back Judge bring the teams out

6. 6 Coin Toss Mechanics

7. 7 Free Kicks R same as 5 Linesman and Line Judge are deep BJ has ball and 25 second count, and goes downfield officiating inside out U and FJ have R’s restraining line

8. 8 Free Kicks

9. 9 Short Free Kicks Linesman and his partner, FJ, move up, so that Linesman has R and FJ has K So we have 4 up: FJ and BJ have K’s restraining line, Linesman and Umpire have R’s R and LJ are deep

10. 10 Short Free Kicks

11. 11 Scrimmage Downs Basic concept is that FJ and BJ have priority for keys Their keys are the widest receivers, whether they are on the line of scrimmage or not L and LJ then take the second and/third receivers Concept is that FJ and BJ have goal line and are able to be with runner/receiver at the goal line L and LJ have most of the spots—pushing the FJ/BJ down the field.

12. 12 Scrimmage Downs

13. 13

14. 14 Motion Sometimes motion can mean a switch in keys If the motion man is the widest player initially, and then goes in motion, we would switch keys as soon as he is no longer the widest receiver

15. 15 Motion and Switching Keys

16. 16 Trips SJ or BJ have widest receiver, Linesman/Line Judge have 2 nd and 3 rd receivers

17. 17 Trips

18. 18 Goal Line Coverage—15 to 5 Yards In FJ and BJ are on the goal line pylons Suggestion: change this to 20 yards to 5 yards in. L and LJ have spots down to the 1 yard line.

19. 19 Goal Line—15 Yards to 5 Yards In

20. 20 Goal Line Coverage—5 Yards and Less FJ and BJ are midway between the hashmarks and the numbers We switch keys: Linesman and Line Judge take the widest receivers Linesman and Line Judge have the goal line

21. 21 Goal Line—5 Yards And Less

22. 22 Scrimmage Kicks R is on the foot of the kicker Suggestion: Linesman/Line Judge switch who chases and who stays as determined by the position of the Referee FJ and BJ have the receiver Suggestion: BJ have PSK In this situation, we have reverse mechanics: BJ/FJ have most of the spots, L and LJ have the goal line
