Passing sticks, sliding ball marker

[Coach Shawn]

I have been using a magnet ball marker when using passing sticks, but after watching Xtreme Electric Football videos on YouTube and seeing their use of a sliding ball marker I have moved started usinh that idea.

I really like it.  The magnet stops the receiver and allows the defense to get closer before the field is stopped.

the sliding marker allows the receiver to continue movement.

here is a video of a TD catch that would not have happened if it had been a magnet.  By the way this was a playoff game so it was nice to get that TD!

Comparing the size of my magnet marker to the sliding marker.

And here is a pic of a smaller “footprint” for a sliding ball marker using the saturn size footballs as the cushion.

I wanted to add that in the TVEFL we have decided to allow the offense coach to decide which ball marker he wants to use.

sometimes you may want the magnet as there is a chance that hitting the magnet will turn your receiver upfield.  This is useful on sideline passes.
