FULL CONTACT Two attackers are on there stomachs staggered. (Red & Blue) The Jackler (Yellow) is on his stomach. Upon "GO" the Blue attacker stands and dives on the ball presenting it back. The yellow player (Jackler) tries to steal the ball and stands strong over the tackled player. Once the Blue player is on his feet the Red player can get up and support him trying to clear the yellow player off the ball.
This drill is to get the Jackler to stand strong and take a hit while also allowing the Support player to try and clear a strong positioned jackler off the ball. Do not worry so much about the ball being stolen, It is there for the jacler to get hands on and get a good stance. If you find the Support player is arriving too early before the jackler is set get him to lay on his back and flip over and stand up to delay a second more.
