Size of passing sticks on big boards ?

Im in the US Military stationed in Kasierslautern Germany. We should hook up some time and play some.

If one day you're coming to south west of french (atlantic coast, quite near beach cities like Hossegor, Capbreton, or quite near -about 50kilometers- of Bayonne and Biarritz), I'll be glad to play with you, or to be more precise, LEARN the game from you

Sounds Great Dimitri, I will be back in Germany in another five months (Currently in Kuwait). I haven't been to France yet so this is another incentive

No problem, take care of yourself in the mean time

Tommorow, I'll make the 10yards chain and 1st down marker.

Then, I'll tweak 2 demo teams, and I hope to make my first game a few days after, or on monday 19th evening for sure in the worst case.

In keeping with the idea of teaching the game to others, when i play with my kids at school, i use the sticks, but i also use a bigger target for the guys to run to. This gives the players, on both sides of the ball, more chances to make a play on the ball. There is nothing more boring and discouraging to a novice player, just learning, than to have a bunch of 2-3 straight incomplete passes.

Most times, i use the correct small ball target for my games. But every now and then, to create a more fun, less strategical game, i breakout the bigger target football. More completions, more interceptions, overall more fun. Fun might have to be an idea to keep in mind when teaching the game. Then, when they understand it better, and tweak better, then the REAL FUN starts with the smaller target but more strategy.

This has been my observation.
