One of the football drills for kids is pass blocking. It is the second element of blocking young football players should understand.
What you need – Coaches with tackling dummies to start, and then you can have pass rushing players once the players understand the technique.
How this drill works – What you can do is explain to the players that the idea of this drill, compared with the run block, is that the run block is an attacking block, while the pass block is a protection, or a defending block.
The same rules of thumb apply with having a strong base to block from. But the block is executed differently. The pass block involves the offensive lineman creating a base first and then repelling the oncoming attack either by: standing his ground, using his arms to keep the defender at bay, or by pushing them around the quarterback (the pocket).
Coaches will try to penetrate into the backfield, while the young players learn their technique for pass blocking. At some point, you can add in real defenders.
Result – The knowledge of pass blocking and how it works.
