COACHING POINTS

Key Ideas

  1. Ball carrier needs to run low into contact and then work hard to have a long place of the ball.
  2. the bullet supporter needs to adjust his speed as he goes into contact to make sure he is balanced, square and low.
  3. the bullet needs to work hard with his leg drive to clean out the pad holder.
  4. the ball supporter needs to be supporting his own body weight and protecting the ball.
  5. the second pad holder, must come in swuare and only make contact with his shoulder not face or neck.
