To block a ball above ground but below head level

1. Revise blocking ground ball

2. Try blocking a ground ball (weak blocking side). This can be done by moving body into flight of ball or moving hurl across body to block. Pupils practise this with teacher directing i.e,block a ground ball to your right/left/between legs.

3. From ready position demonstrate stance for blocking an imaginary ball at various heights, (strong blocking side). Repeat for weak blocking side.

4. Teacher directs pupil to adopt correct blocking positions, i.e., ball coming to your left at(1) Shoulder level.(2) Knee level.(3) Ankle level etc. Repeat for ball coming to your right.

 

Points to note:

  • Positioning of body very important:
  • Blocking involves moving body and then adopting blocking positioning. This should be emphasised.
