OFTEN USED WITH...

Floor/ Seal/ Clear/ Pick:

In groups of 4 inside the grid with 1 ball per group.

Players should pass the ball around the group with small pops.

On the coach's whistle the player with the ball takes the ball into contact and hits the floor. Other players must then seal-clear-pick.

After picking the ball players can continue to pop pass the ball until they hear the next whistle.

Ball presentation drill:

The ball carrier and one support player runs towards the other group and, at the middle the ball carrier goes to ground and presents the ball. The support player straddles the player on the ground, picks up the ball and runs on to the next group, passing the ball to them

Ball presentation

2 vs 1 + 1 in 2 grids:

2 attackers with a half back attack a defender

The support player should be able to read the situation and apply the best techniques for ball security, either driving out or sealing off the ball.

Ball presentation

1 vs 1 Ball Retention:

The ball carrier walks up to the defender and turns away to present the ball to their own team.

The defender should try to turn the ball carrier and keep him facing away from support.
