- Players work in pairs
- Approximately 5 yard line
- One player leads, the other follows
- The leader must move the ball up and down the line. The follower must remain in front of the leader
- The defender should remain in playing position through the drill.
- The player on the ball should be dictating this drill
- Large movements from the leader will help to move the follower
- Allow the follower to passively defend, showing the leader when they would have made a challenge. This will force the leader to think more about the movements they are making
