For instance, center players will carry their weight on the front foot, but the guards will depend on their inside foot. When a player wants to block the pass, his position should be half squat, hands on his thighs and chest up with straight shoulders. This is the basic position to block the pass, it can be changed according to the situation. Players can use the same position to block the run as well.

First step drill is very basic and helpful. For this drill, you need to be in basic position and then take a first step very quickly.
