5 PERSON Hooker - Lineouts are not to be contested. No lifting. Explain WHEN/WHY a lineout occurs and demonstrate using 5 kids. Use a rotation system to give all kids turn receiving the throw and a turn at being the Hooker and a halfback/back. Get the remaining team members to be backs and show them where they have to stand.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.

Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
