All thee players lie on backs about 1.5 - 2m apart Middle player has the ball, and taps it on the ground to one side, then the other Player then holds the ball straight up for a second, then places to either side. When ball is placed both players either side of the middle player get to feet and contest the ball or clean out Have 3 or 4 turns then switch around
Speed onto feet is paramount Wide base and good low body postion Support body weight without putting hands on the ground (unlike in the video) Understand when the ball is lost and concentrate on dislodging the other player Extend the drill by mixing the placement length. This makes the defender choose: If a short place - maybe attack the ball If a long place - maybe step over the "tackled" player and "own" the space Adapted from NZMooloo (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL52758C62BFFEEDD9)
