1. Make a 10m x 10m grid. 2. Eight players move freely around the grid. 3. On coachâs whistle, second row enters grid and aims to drive all of the players out of the grid. 4. Second row has one minute to get the players out. If all players are ejected, note the time taken to complete and compare it against the next competing second row. 5. The second row who takes the quickest time to eject all players from the grid is the winner. - Focus on that low body position and good leg drive.
