Blocking

Live Stalk Block

Prescription
8 × blocks · 60 s restabout 8 min
Players

Equipment
Cones

The full block, from start to finish. The receiver leaves on a route, breaks down the cushion, gathers into balance and keeps the defender out of a running lane marked by two cones. The defender tries to reach the lane, playing for real.

Key points

  • The block lasts until the whistle blows, not until the first contact: it’s the duration that counts.
  • Your feet keep running on contact; they don’t plant.
  • Keep your hands open within the frame; do not grab.
  • Eight repetitions; switch roles every two.

Common mistakes

  • Throwing yourself at the first contact and ending up on the ground as the run goes by.
  • Letting go after two seconds: most outside runs last longer.
