Coaching Points
- What decisions have to be made now there is a dragon
- What can you do to help the ball carrier?
Passing the ball
- Ball in two hands
- Focus on target
- Timing of release
Receiving the ball
- Call for the ball
- Provide a target (both hands, palms out, reaching out early for the ball)
- Move into space
Variation / Progression
- Set targets for number of passes made
- Set targets for number of interceptions made
- Once a TAG is made or the ball is intercepted the number of passes starts at zero again.
- Change group size i.e. 6 v 2, 5 v 3
