Free blocking zone

[ajmc]

The NFHS Rule Book, and even it's companion Case Book, can be difficult reading for someone starting out. The, "Redding Study Guide for NFHS Football" attempts to blend those two publications into a, "clearly written reference work organized around phases of the game and overall topics of importance that can be used to learn the rules."

It's set up a little differently, than either NFHS book, but contains illustrations and a lot of specific case play situations that help explaineach of the rules and concepts relating to the game.

In layman's terms, the free blocking zone is a place where a lot more dangerous types of blocking are allowed (blocks in the back, clipping, and blocking below the waist), provided the players involved in that blocking and other conditions are met. Rule 2 tells you WHAT the free blocking zone is, what is allowed, and who is allowed to do things to an opponent.
