    Blocking Punts

    Why Go For The Block?


    No faster way to turn a game around - at
    any level
    Easy to teach, hard to counter
    Encourages aggressive attitude
    Builds Esprit de corps among S/T
    Blocking Punts

    Keep Schemes Simple


    May only use one scheme at youth level,
    two in high school, etc.
    Much more important to drill techniques
    than teach schemes
    ID potential blockers, then drill
    techniques, THEN install schemes
    Blocking Punts

    Find Potential Blockers


    Choose from among quicker kids
    Time them over 10 yards from stances
    Work with selected kids on stance,
    timing, etc.
    Drill daily in pre-season, twice a week inseason
    Blocking Punts

    Stance
    NOT sprinter's stance - sprinters stand
    up as they run
    Hand forward, close to tip of ball
    Low, coiled-spring stance

    Blocking Punts

    Get-off
    Eyes on the ball, move when it does
    Get small - no surface to block
    Explode forward, stay low, clear blockers
    Once past blockers' heels, adjust course

    Blocking Punts

    Path
    Scout depth of kick, not punter
    Place cone at kick depth for practice
    Once past blockers, adjust to cone
    Sprint across block point @ angle
    Shoot hands at last second - FORWARD
    If blocked, work outside (clear path)
    Blocking Punts

    Scheme One - Rush 10

    Blocking Punts

    Scheme Two - Rush 8

    Blocking Punts

    Coaching Points for Blocks


    Work as team on paths to cone (Red X in
    diagram)
    Have snapper use part-deflated ball
    Call out number of one player -- all others
    fade outside, he goes for block
    Take ball right off punter's foot
    Blocking Punts

    Variations
    Fake protection can be man, zone
    Possible to set up block one side, return
    other
    Even if you don't block punts every game,
    don't get frustrated
    Blocks WILL come -- so will shanks, etc.
