Community | 4 Slalom Tag

Mike Watson Coach, England

DESCRIPTION

This drill guides the Attacker's (blue) path towards the Try Line. They must run around the slalom and past the defenders (red) to score a try. Defenders cannot come off their line (in line with each of the cones) however they can move side to side on that line to fill the space. Once a player is tagged BOTH DEFENDER AND ATTACKER FREEZE - This will encourage defenders to pick their man and get the tags. Swap Attackers and Defenders and re-run.
