Terminology for "Snapping" as well as Exercises that enhance the performance

Center: an offensive player that starts off with the ball and usually snaps the ball to the quarterback followed by blocking defensive players from tackling the offensive ball carrier.

Quarterback: offensive player that scores points by taking snap from center and usually hands ball off to a running back or wide receiver, passing it to a wide receiver or running back, or runs the ball himself.


Snap: quick continuous movement of the football by one or two hands of snapper(for punting) or center (for offense) off of the line of scrimmage.

EXERCISES THAT ENHANCE SNAPPING
Weighted squatting.  With the bent knee squat position, all of the leg, hip, and back muscles are in constant contraction when in the center's stance phase.  Squatting with weight resistance allow proper conditioning for the weight that centers carry from the football padding required.  This will also strengthen their body for the rigorous game for the blocking that is required from the centers.

     For proper form:
     1) Have back straight at all times
     2) Try to have knees behind toes to avoid knee injuries
     3) When in the last phase of the squat (phase 4 in image above) keep thigh parallel to the floor
