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.
Attachers: Behind the ball carrier to offer passing opportunities Support your team mates, calling for the ball if they're in space Run at spaces not faces Defenders: Focus on tags Teamworking with your partner on the each line / picking their targets Other Points: If attackers constantly win: Reduce space available to Attackers or Increase number of defenders If Defenders constantly win Remove blue cones / Increase gaps for attackers or reduce defenders Running outside slalom = turnover ball.
