What is it called when the center sends the ball to the quarterback? (football)?
I have very little knowledge about American football (not soccer), and this question is, quite unexpectedly, part of my gym homework packet. The question asks for a 9-letter word that begins with an "s" related to how the center sends the ball to the quarterback. I thought the terms "snap" or "hike" might be correct, but it seems there might be a different word I'm looking for. Could anyone help clarify what this term is?

a snap, sometimes they say he hiked the ball to the quarterback also
wait hold on...9 letters?! wtf?! i have no idea...and i play football
It could be an indicator that is used to tell a receiver to run a different route due to the alignment of the defense. It is also used to signal the center that the QB is ready for the ball when ever the center is ready to snap the ball. But USUALLY, it is to signal the motion man to begin his motion. AND, sometimes it is simply to distract the defense, to make them look for what ever the QB may be signaling.
He is hiking the ball to the QB but some people call it a snap.
Can't think of a 9 letter word that would fit.
it's a snap, but sometimes also called a snapback. however thats not a 9 letter word either, but maybe it's meant to be plural.
that's the only thing i know it's called.
