Kicking skills

Team Kicking (Grubber kick):

4 teams of 2 players, with 2 teams at each end.

One player from the 1st team starts with the ball.

The player with the ball runs forward and grubber kicks the ball on for their team mate to come from an on side position and recovers the ball, taking it at pace.

The player then runs on and hands the ball off the player in the next group.

The next group repeats the drill.

Kicking skills

Hula Slalom Relay:

Split the group into teams.

On the coach's call players run through the slalom. Whilst doing this they have to pass the ball around their waists.

Ball handling

King Pin:

Split the group into two teams.

One player from each team goes to the oppositions end and starts in the end zone.

The aim of the game is for each team to kick a grubber kick through to their team mate the other end of the grid in the end zone. When a ball gets through to a player in the end zone the player that kicks the ball goes to join them.

The winner is the first team to get all their players in the end zone.
