2. Release off of inside foot to start block.

3. Make good solid contact with the outside hip just above the defensive man’s knees.

Follow Through:

1. After contact is made, go into a four-point position with the arms extended, and tail high into the air.

2. Work the feet around and force the defensive man to go in front of blocker’s head.

3. Do not let defensive man get out behind the blocker’s feet because this will allow him to pursue the ball from a proper angle.

4. Keep tail up and feet working.
