Determining the Arm Strength of your PasserCont’d• We can calculate the length of a pass using Pythagorean’s Theorem (A²+B²=C²) or (receiversplit²+ (passer drop depth + receiver route depth)² = length of pass²• First thing we do is get a 12 yard split for our SE from our center spot and throw anuncovered pass to our SE as these are the shortest and most common throws we make.• We throw two passes and if they are on target we move the split out two yards and repeatthis process until we see a ball on a arc, loss of accuracy, wobbling ball.• We are looking for an accurate pass on line (very little arc). If at 10 yards the pass is made ontime, accurately, on a line we can then go to 12 yards and re test. We repeat this as long asthe throw meets the above criteria (14 yards, 16 yards, and finally 18 yards).• Once we determine max splits we then test the QB’s arm for vertical arm strength (a ball withan arc). We have the SE get 15 yard split from center (13.5 yards from OT to factor in anoutside release move). The SE will move fifteen yards vertically up the field turn around andface his number to the QB. The QB will throw two passes using a proper ARC release and weare looking for accuracy, good spin, good drop of the nose into the target. If the QB makesgood clean throws we move the SE up 5 yards and repeat. We repeat this process until wefind the max range of our QB’s arm vertically.• I use 10 yard splits (from OEMLOS) as a benchmark for youth football for receiver splits. Thatis ten yards from the center spot. I have found that is a very good split for a QB with averagearm strength so we use that as our baseline split. For older teams (12 and above) we go to12 yard splits.
