After assuming the proper stance, you should extend the hand and arm on the side of your kicking foot directly out in front of your shoulder. Move your arm so that your hand is near the center of your body. Next, turn the palm of your hand over so that it's facing the ground. This position sets the top part of the target for the center.
With your other hand and arm, reach out at a level even with the middle of your stomach. The palm of this hand should be facing up. This is the bottom half of the center's snapping target.
When you feel you are ready to receive the ball and that the center has seen the target you've presented, move your top hand down so that it is even with your bottom hand. At the point, the palms of both hands should be up and the little fingers should nearly be making contact.
To guarantee you see your hands and the ball when the latter is snapped, it's necessary to have your arms extended out away from your body. For now, we'll keep the ball out of your practice sessions. Without the ball, start with your normal steps. Both hands should remain in position with your first step. As you begin your second step:
1. The hand away from your kicking foot should drop off
2. This hand should swing behind your hip
3. At the same time, the hand on the side of the kicking foot should be pushed forward
4. This hand should be positioned slightly outside of the thigh of the kicking leg
5. Allow the extended hand to drop naturally to your side as the kicking leg comes through in a practiced kicking motion
