Shed Ball

Use the Rogers Athletic Shed Ball to drill defeating or countering cut blocks, an offensive line technique intended to knock a defender to the ground by taking out his legs. The knee high ball simulates a moving object coming to distrupt a defender's path to the ball carrier. Roll it at the legs of a defensive player, replicating the cut block. The defender then needs to react to the moving target with a bent knee position, shooting the hands out in front to stalemate the accelerating Shed Ball and quickly kick the feet back to keep the ball out of their legs and maintain balance, then continue to find the ball carrier.
