Center–QB Exchange + 3-Step Drop

8U10U12UBackfieldBeginnerPositionQB MechanicsFundamentals
Pairs of centers and quarterbacks in stations: full cadence, clean exchange, then an immediate three-step drop with eyes up. Rotate every five reps. A fumbled exchange is a coaching failure, not a kid failure — rep it daily.
Objective
The exchange is the first play of every snap — make it automatic.
