The Block

Frontal blocking — meeting an opponent's strike with the hurley to stop the ball at source.

How to do it

Hold your hurley up in front and meet their swing so the ball can't get past!

For Parents & Coaches

01

Two hands

Block with both hands on the hurley for strength.

02

Timing

Meet the strike — don't swing at the player.
