Do your players stop and stand still when the ball is turned over to the other side, when they should be chasing back?
To put an end to these bad defensive habits this Session works on getting your players to take responsibility for losing the ball, chasing back down the field to try and tackle back, support their team-mates and prevent the opposition from scoring and launch their own attack!
What's in the Session?
The 4 drills in this session have been chosen to help your team practice tracking back and improve how they switch from defence to attack after winning back possession. These fast-paced possession and overload exercises are sure to give your entire team a complete runout.
