Hi Richard. Here are some great handling drills for backs you can try:

  1. Realign Into Hands - Competitive This drill focuses on quick hands and realignment under pressure. Players line up opposite each other, drop back and wide to form an attacking line, and pass quickly. It's fun and competitive! Check it out here: 1 Realign Into Hands - Competitive
  2. 1 vs 2 This drill aims to develop ball-carrying skills in a contact zone, with attackers focusing on beating the defender using footwork and power. More details are available: 2 1 vs 2
  3. Creating the Overlap With a Loop A classic drill to create space and handling under pressure. It involves three attackers looping the ball to create an overlap against defenders. It's great for players' handling under pressure and attacking vision: 3 Creating the Overlap With a Loop
  4. Offloading Grip Game Improve handling skills by catching the ball without using the chest. Encourages players to move into space and communicate constantly: 4 Offloading Grip Game

These drills will certainly help improve the handling skills of your backs. Enjoy coaching!
