"Track" blocking

Coach,

When you install an offense and blocking rules, you must ask yourself:
1. Is this sound?
2. Do I have a systematic way of teaching it?

Coach Campbell stresses at his clinics "If you have a systematic approach to teaching it, the kids will have a systematic way of learning it."

We like his near ear rule because it is sound and we have a systematic way of teaching it. The kids know their aiming point is the near ear of the down defender. Our kids understand that inside means verticle near ear push, and they understand that toss means circle the wagons. They understand that on load, iso, and power we want to slow rotate our combos counterclockwise.

When choosing blocking rules, ask yourself those two questions.
