OFTEN USED WITH...

Hula Slalom Relay

Split the group into teams.

On the coach's call players run through the slalom. Whilst doing this they have to pass the ball around their waists.

Ball handling

Beat the defence

Offence (blue), line out in one deep line.

Defence (red) - opposite in a straight line, slightly inside player you are marking.

Offence endeavour to pass ball along line.

Defence move up to stop them. Each defender goes up to tackle - if ball is passed THEN they work to protect inside shoulder of player on their outside.

Passing

Pass the ball around your back at the same time.

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