A circle must be set up for player/coach to walk around. The players must be in pairs with one been the attacker and the other the defender. Both players start stomach down however the defender is on top of the attacker and must work to stay on top of the attacker.
The coach/player walks around the circle shouting ‘set’ at 10-15 second intervals, at the command ‘set’ the attacker must move and present the ball with both balls towards the coach/player.
Try to match up players with similar sizes.
Defenders should not place all their weight on the attacker but must make them work to place it.
Attackers must use their core to move quickly and effectively towards the coach.
When ‘set’ is called defender can work to feet and try and jackal the ball from the onside position.
