Realign:

The first player moves forwards, makes contact with the tackle bag and retreats diagonally to the line of cones.

The next player joins the line and both the players move forward and hit the tackle bag or shield before retreating back to the line again.

The third player then joins the line and all three players go out to meet the tackle bag, shield or fall on the ball.

Drill continues with all players involved.

Tackling

Find the space:

Players run in any direction in the grid trying to avoid contact by running into space. When the teacher calls stop, all players must be at least 1m from the next nearest player.

Pass the ball around your back at the same time.

Option: throw the ball in the air and catch as you run around

Ball handling

Grids part 4:

Put one player in grid about 2 metres in.

Pass ball to target man - get return pass - run through.

Have 4 target men.

Passing

Hands up / Hands Down:

Set up the players in a circle.

All players have their hands in the air (except the ball carrier), the ball carrier can pass to anyone in the circle as long as they are :-

Not directly next to them.

Still have their hands in the air.
