Quarterback Stance Training

Good quarterbacking starts with a good quarterback stance. Being comfortable and having good balance in your stance can make the difference in a play starting off smooth or being blown up. This article will focus on the basic steps you need for quarterback stance training.

After you break the huddle and approach the LOS and center, plant your feet shoulder width apart, feet pointing straight ahead. The equal weight distribution will give you the proper balance you need under center.

You want your head up giving you a clear field of vision. Have your eyes looking straight ahead, looking over the defensive scheme so you can read the play called by the defense.

As you settle into your quarterback stance, you want your shoulders slightly in front of your hips for comfort and balance. Remember once you take the snap, you will need to explode away from the center.

Extending your arms toward the center, place your hands under center. Have your hands one on top of the other the passing hand on top. Palms open, your fingers spread, have the middle finger lined up with the center’s inseam.

Keeping yourself comfortable and well balanced, arch your back and be slightly bent at the waist.

The knees should be slightly bent in your stance. This will allow you to easily receive the ball and pull away from the center. Slightly bent knees will help you quickly explode out of your stance, avoiding foot entanglement with the center or other linemen.

In conclusion you want to be comfortable and well balanced under center. Practice the steps listed in the article, they are the basics you need to practice for quarterback stance training.
