PLAY OF THE MONTH
DRILL OF THE MONTH
Stop-Score-Stop
Play Shell in whatever way you do. The only way a team can score a point is if they string together a STOP, a SCORE, and another STOP. Each string is worth 1 point. If you get a stop, you switch to offense (and vice versa).
Play to 3 Stop/Score/Stops or with a time limit.
