Abstract

A mechanical football centering device for training quarterbacks to receive a snapped football. The device includes a magnetic latch which is releasable by a motion closely simulating the signal which a quarterback gives to a human center, and includes features which allow the quarterback to adjust the football's orientation and to practice "riding the center."
