Gone are the days from Pop Warner where you\nwere taught to have your toes pointing straight up the field! Let\u2019s talks about\na Right Handed stance; the left foot should be slightly opened, point towards\n11\u2019oclock. The right foot is a part of the prop leg, the foot should be more\nangled at approximately 2:00. This will allow you go get your whole back foot\nin the ground!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neutral\nHeight in Stance <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People think lower is better which is not\ntrue all. I will say this, the lower you can play the better your going to be.\nSome people\u2019s anatomy won\u2019t let them get to a certain depth. One way to figure\nout how low you should be in you stance is to simply come off the football. If\nthe hips moves jagged then you\u2019re too low. If the hips move nice and smooth,\nthen you are perfect. I always teach this to my guys so they understand what\ngoes into building a base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stagger of Stance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pop warner coaches teach toe lined up in\nthe instep. Anatomy wise it really doesn\u2019t make sense; it doesn\u2019t allow you to\nopen up your hips and play with power. The easiest way to figure out how much\nstagger to play with is this simple test. Stand with your feet just outside\nshoulder width. Have someone gently give you a nudge, when falling backwards\ncatch yourself with the foot that goes back in your respective stance. Wherever\nthat foot falls is where it should be, in relation to your post foot\n\nThis is just the basics of how your stance\nshould operate, I could go on about this for hours, but I wont! Like I said\nbefore, \u201cif you start wrong, you will finish wrong.\u201d Please put time and effort\ninto your stance and base, it\u2019s the most important aspect.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to learn more about OL play come to our big man camp starting February 4<\/strong><\/em>th<\/strong><\/em><\/sup>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.sst.training\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sst-football-camps-2019.jpg\")
