Looking for some high level punt block drills that you can use as a high school coach? Alabama Senior Special Teams Analyst Jay Nunez shows some drills and reviews practice film to show their techniques and keys.

They look for 2 or 3 players that they think can be their punt block guys and can not only make a play, but also keep from getting a penalty.
They break off and don't go through the kickers leg.
They use inside foot back technique.
They key their eyes on the football. Coach Nunez is a believer in "Stance, Alignment, Assignment, Key."
Instead of using the teaching phrase, "don't false step," he likes to teach players to "Pull themselves through with their near foot."
Coaching points: shoot their hands late and at knee level.
