In such instances, "guiding side to side" and "covering down" are helpful indicators as to whether or not individuals are moving in the correct path with the correct step size. Guiding and CoveringĪt times, a solid or block form moves in the same direction with a unified step size, or a file floats from side to side in such a way that the people in it remain aligned with one another throughout the move. Step off the distance from the nearest yard line FIRST, making sure that you are in agreement with others who are the same distance from the same line. "Dressing" is fine-tuning the form by a matter of millimeters - NOT steps. Step off the distance forward or back from the hash mark or sideline.Step off the distance inside or outside the yard line.Go to the indicated Side of the field, where the specified yard line meets the specified hash mark or sideline.REMEMBER to manually adjust any coordinate based on either the back hash mark or the back sideline by 1/3 step (7.5 inches).This will allow you to make additional notes about direction changes, changes in step size, and other factors. As you mark your books, use a single page for each coordinate.Members are to transcribe coordinates into their drill notebooks (dot books) prior to rehearsal. Coordinate sheets will be issued as drill is received from the designers. Pyware generates accurate coordinates for all players charted.Side 2 refers to the half of the field Stage Left of the 50-yard line.Side 1 refers to the half of the field Stage Right of the 50-yard line.refers to end zone to end zone orientation and is away from the 50-yard line. refers to end zone to end zone orientation and is toward the 50-yard line. refers to sideline to sideline orientation and is toward the Away Sideline. refers to sideline to sideline orientation and is toward the Home Sideline. Advertisements on walls and railings, the CHIPPEWA name in the end zones, kick-off marks, and the Flying C logo at mid-field can provided added reference for field orientation.
Stadium Markings - Some markings on the stadium field are also helpful to notice when we rehearse there.Therefore, all coordinates relative to the back hash mark and back sideline must be manually adjusted forward by one-third step (7.5 inches) in order to achieve complete accuracy. Because drill charts can only be adjusted by whole steps, there is a discrepancy between the field markings on the charts and those on the field.
The distance between the hash marks is 40 feet (21 and one-third steps).
On Saunders Field the Home side is where the tower is (East). Referred to as Front (Home) and Back (Away).
