KEYS TO REMEMBER

1. Regardless of which team defers, make sure we end with either the ball or the wind.
2. Make sure we never have to kickoff into the wind to start a half.
3. Forget about wanting the wind in the 4th quarter. If we have to kick off into the
wind to start the 2nd half, the game could be over before the 4th quarter begins.
4. If weather conditions are significant, it's okay to kickoff both halves. Bad weather
is usually an advantage to the defense.
5. If the weather conditions are not a factor, then be sure we get the ball at least once,
regardless of how good our defense is.
6. Discuss the possibilities with our staff before the game. Don't try to make a
decision while we are standing on the sidelines prior to the coin toss.
7. Defer whenever possible! It's better to have the choice later in the game. They
choose the ball but we get the wind.
