Rules Corner
Browse all rules →Back Block
Illegally contacting an opposing skater from behind, targeting the back of the body rather than the legal target zone. One of the most commonly called penalties for new blockers.
Common Mistakes
- Following through a hit after the target has already rotated away.
- Blocking with the shoulder low and driving upward into the back.
- Chasing a jammer from behind instead of repositioning to the side.
