Rugby League: Quickhands

The players run to the cone and then pass the ball square before running on to the next cone and pass square. When the players reach the end they have to run back through the middle of the cones.

The practice keeps repeating.

Set-up a 10 meter grid with a player on each corner.

Player 1 starts with the ball.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and then quickly moves off their cone and runs to the cone where player 2 is and back to their cone.

Player 2 then passes to player 3, follows the pass to the position of player 3 and back to their starting position.

The aim is to for the players to be back in their starting position before the ball returns back.

Set up the practice as shown above.

40m x 20m Grid.

Groups of 4

Player start in the bottom right corner and on the command sprint as a group before doing 5 press ups.

They then side step left to the next set of cones to do 5 sit ups before sprinting to do press ups. The group follow this routine until the end before the next group go.
