Reach Blocking In Youth Football

Posted on 27th | Posted by admin in Recreation and Sports

Even as a High School player who loved to block, the reach block was very difficult for me or my team mates to execute, we hated it. You will find the same is true for your youth football players. Why do you think the technique is taught so the offensive player gains OUTSIDE leverage on the defender by swinging the offensive players hips to the outside? Why not have a blocking scheme that allows your players this outside leverage and angle every play without having to take an outside drop step and without having to have very quick feet and hips swung into the proper position?
