OFFENSIVE SKILLS: BLOCKING
DRIVE BLOCK:
- Explode from your stance with the foot closest to the opponent and drive your hips forward on the third and fourth steps, through the block.
- Start with short, choppy steps, and keep your feet moving.
- Deliver the block from a wide base, and keep your head up and shoulders square.
- Punch hands or forearms into the opponent to establish momentum, and deliver the blow on impact with the forearms, not the head.
- Keep your head on the side of the opponent toward the hole, and follow through with short, choppy steps, turning the opponent away from the hole.
PASS BLOCKING:
- Keep your head up and your rear end down.
- Keep your back straight.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart, keep them moving, and flex your knees.
- Keep the weight of your body and head over your feet, never in front of them.
- Hold your elbows in with the hands, ready to ward off the challenge of the defensive linemen.
CRAB BLOCKING:
- Drop down on your hands and feet.
- Keep your head up and your rear end and shoulders level to the ground.
- Crawl into the defensive player blocking his pursuit with your arm and leg.
- Crawl until the whistle blows.
