Thank you Sportplan. The drills and videos have been extremely beneficial...

Dumitru

DESCRIPTION

White players must try to hit the last player of the 'dragon' (the four blue players in the middle are the dragon).

Players in the dragon hold each other's hips or shoulders and try to avoid the ball.

In order to hit the back of the dragon the white players must pass the ball quickly around the circle. The ball is not allowed to travel further than one player at a time.

COACHING POINTS

PROGRESSION
