60-minute practice plan

Elapsed time from 6pm CT

Make every Dash play look the same at the start, then execute Dash, Dash Counter, Dash Quick X/C/Y/U, and Dash Boot with clean timing.

01

Warm-up + snap rhythm

Dynamic movement, quick catches, and Ready… Set… HUT

02

Dash mesh + handoff

QB and U rehearse the exact Dash track; meet at the mesh, secure the ball, then get north

03

Dash vs. Dash Counter

Alternate the two calls; U clears the mesh first, X delays, then arrives for the counter handoff

04

Dash Quick X / Y

Called outside receiver takes the quick route; C runs the short Speed Out and U settles as the outlet

05

Dash Quick C / U

Same Dash Quick call: C becomes the first read on the Speed Out or U becomes the first read after the fake and settle

06

Dash Boot

Sell Dash, QB stays right-middle behind the line, X drags underneath, and Y is the over-the-top changeup

07

Water + call review

Players name their assignment on each Dash-family call and the coach names the Dash Quick first read

08

5-on-4 Dash-family scrimmage

Coach calls only Dash-family plays; on Dash Quick, coach also calls X, C, Y, or U as the first read

09

Four-call Dash challenge

Dash · Dash Counter · Dash Quick · Dash Boot with fast huddles; change the Dash Quick first read each rep
