Description
- Groups of 2
- Tackle Bags
- Cones
1. Warm up light contact
Players line up opposite eachother and run to meet each other in the middle. When the coach says so, the coach will leave it late to hold an arm out for the attackers to step too. The Defenders will make a late decision to tackle on either left or right shoulder.
2. Progress to adding bags & defenders turning.
This minimalises the time for defenders to make decision and increaces the intensity.
3. Progress on to full live tackle.
Increace the intensity and make sure the players back track back to starting point before starting next set.
