10U12U14UHigh SchoolLine of ScrimmageBeginner1v1O-LineFundamentals
Linemen work in pairs against a partner or bag: perfect stance, six-inch power step, strike with thumbs up and hands inside, hold the fit for three counts, then finish with a five-yard drive. Low man wins every rep.
Objective
Blocking is a stance, a step, and a strike — in that order.
