In pairs about 7m apart, 2 cones and a ball. One person works for 45 seconds then swap over. Drive forward but F does not give the pass. A the clears wide around the cone for about 4 steps then drives hard back at an angle to starting position. F times the pass so A running onto pass. Repeat on other side. Variation: F can give the ball at the cone OR may fake it (always gives the re-offer driving ball)
Driving hard, recognising ball not being given so clearing wide enoughA definite clear, create the space donât just sidestep straightHard change of pace between clear and the drive; use of arms for momentum, taking feet all the wayCommunication, eye contact & voice.
