  • Look up and scan where the defender and attacker are standing
  • Ball carrier to engage defender by attacking their inside shoulder
  • Foot movement to draw defender away from support player
  • Receiver has hands up to receive the ball
  • Receiver to call for the ball
  • Pass accurately - hands finishing at the target

  • Allow defender to move side ways only
  • Allow defender to move forwards progressing through walk, jog, run
  • Allow defender to move freely from start position progressing through walk, jog, run
  • Game: Continuous 3 v 1 with attackers looking to score on alternate try lines for 5 attempts. Defender always aligns opposite starting ball carrier. Defender to keep score.
