3: Footwork/Ruck: pads/ladders/cones--- on backs head at ladder/flip up and call proper GAP/go as a LINE through ladder - Hit DECK and Pop pad - 1.2.3.
4: 3v2 - Split evenly- more work the more result-- Defenders on belly with pads. Attackers in pushup position, go when Attacker w ball goes.
5: Tackle Grids - 4 x 5-7M grid. 8 in each (4 attack and 4 defend) Attacker say - Ball out - they sprint to one of the corner cones and cut back into grid (defender must read and go to opposite cone).
