"You work too hard during the week and you leave your best on the practice field," says Dodd. While backs brush up on their assignments, linemen horn in and take a crack at carrying the ball "to give them some variety." Groups wander off to play volleyball, using a goalpost crossbar as the net. Touch football is a favorite time-killer. Every few minutes the routine is changed so the boys will not get bored...
