How many football offensive players can go in motion simultaneously?
Cannot move more than one man at a time. They must be set for one second before anyone else moves or the ball is snapped to be legal. They cannot at any point be on the line of scrimmage to move.
Why do Quarterbacks say hikewhen the center snaps the ball to the Quarterback and start the play?
In the huddle, the quarterback calls the play and at what count the play will be started. This information is not known by the opposing team. Therefore when he breaks the huddle, he calls the play and says on three. The center then knows to snap the ball on hut-3 and the other players know when to start moving. If they move before the ball is snapped, they are penalized yardage for movement before the snap.
In the Redskin-Packers game Thrash was called for illegal motion but he was the man in motion for that particular play can you explain that call?
I didn't see this particular call, but here a few possibilities. The player cannot move toward the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap. Also, if more than one player goes in motion, one must be completely "set" in their new position at the time of the snap. In that particular play, Thrash was the only man in motion, but did not get set before the play was snapped. Meaning, once a player is in motion and they turn towards the line they have to stop and get set for 1 full second before the ball is snapped. In this play Thrash was in motion, turned and stopped, but just as the ball was snapped and that is illegal.
Is illegal motion a foul at the snap?
An illegal motion penalty may be several things such as two players in motion at the time of the snap, a player in motion that stops but is not set for at least one second prior to the snap, or a player that is moving forward towards the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap. In the NFL, one player is allowed to be in motion at the time the ball is snapped to the quarterback. This player in motion must be at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage and rung parallel to or away from the line of scrimmage at the time the ball is snapped. Two players in motion at the snap are illegally SHIFTING only, not motion. (REMEMBER!! DON'T GO SCREAMING TO THE RFF!!) Players moving before the snap are considered 'shifting'. The shift doesn't end until all 11 offensive players set for 1 second (2 in HS). After the 'set' if only one player begins moving (not in a quick manner such as simulating the snap, which is a false start) and the ball is snapped, he is in motion. The rules of motion is that the player can only move side to side behind the line of scrimmage, and a back inside the tackle box can move forward while inside the tackle box, but cannot be moving forward at the snap. Therefore, an illegal motion is usually when a motion player is moving forward towards the line of scrimmage
Can players not positioned in the lane rebound ball after a missed free throw?
Yes! As long as they dont move before the ball hits the rim.
What is it called when you move the golf club back and forth over the ball before hitting it?
Waggle?
What happens if you hit a ball on the green with your putter by accident and the ball does not move?
There is no penalty if the ball doesn't move, but that seems highly unlikely. If the ball does move you should replace the ball and receive a one stroke penalty.
When playing tennis doubles may a player move to poach before the receiver of the serve strikes the ball?
Most definitely YES. If the server's partner doesn't start his/her move before the receiver strikes the ball, he/she will have difficulty getting into position to poach. Poaching is the act of crossing in front of your partner striking the ball closer to the net so as to steal time from the opponent.
Can you move a ball out of a puddle in the fairway?
Yes you can move the ball a club length to the side
A ball is lying on the floor. When will the ball move?
The ball will move when an external force is applied to it, such as someone picking it up or kicking it.
Is a ball an object that moves?
no,because you need your movement to make the ball move and a soccer ball cannot move because it is a kinetic energy it needs force to move.
Can you move an obstruction such as a Styrofoam cup if your ball is lying against it without penalty?
Yes, if you move it without moving the ball. If you move the cup and the ball, then it's a penalty.
