Calling plays by number
Why every play has a number.
Every play here has a number. Call the number in the huddle or from the sideline: Run 3!
- Kids remember a number faster than a name.
- Keep the same numbers all season so the call never changes.
- Later, the same numbers go on wristbands.
Your own plays get the next number when you make them.
