Cherry Bombe : 1-v-1 forwards facing blocking

10
mins

Objective
Blockers will learn to keep a jammer on their butt, jammers will learn to jam in a small space
Activity

Set-up:

  • Divide the track in half (inside and outside) through the middle (using cones) between jammer- an pivot-line

Pairs of blocker and jammer line up at the jammer-line. The jammer then tries to push the blocker/move laterally around them/etc. until the pivot-line.

The blockers are instructed to keep the jammer on their butt as much as possible. If the jammer moves backwards, they should move backwards too. If they turn around (thus facing the jammer, with the jammer on their chest) they should try to turn back around. If the jammer is pushing on their side (left or right), they should try to get the jammer on their back/butt again.

Check For Learning

A blocker who has mastered 1-v-1 forwards facing blocking:

  • Can keep a jammer between jammer and pivot line on a half-track for at least 15sec.
  • Can sucesfully get the jammer back on their butt after they have lost the jammer (too far away/turned around)
  • Uses a technically good, small plough stop to slow the jammer down
  • Recycles the jammer quickly, if the jammer gets pushed out of bounds
  • Does not fall during the drill when being pushed/hit

A jammer how has mastered 1-v-1 jamming:

  • Can force a blocker into a position where they get a larger legal target zone than just the back (side/front)
  • Uses a combination of pushing, lateral movements, and applying/releasing force to jam
  • Uses a technically good form in pushing the blocker forwards, in a legal target zone, for 30ft. if need be
