I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

In fours, each group with a ball.

On front players' command, all players fan out to receive a pass.

No one is to cross the grid line - stay within touch line - preserve the space.

Now move to next corner and move round grid.

Progression:

1) Go clockwise and anticlockwise.

2) First player who passes ball then defends the try line. All other players must draw defender towards them before releasing pass.

3) First player goes for 2 handed touch on ball carrier shorts.

4) Change order so that another player defends.

Passing Warm-Up

The aim is put pressure on the passing down the line.

Warm up

Drop Off:

4 cones with 2 balls.

Players start running at the same time and when the meet in the middle, the blue players give a drop off pass to the red player before both continuing their run to the opposite end to which they started.

Passing

Fitness Passing:

Players stand on 4 corners of the grid with Player A in the middle.

Players B, C & D have a ball each.

Player A faces C and as he/she runs towards C, he/she catches a pass from B and passes to E.

When A is a couple of meters from C, C passes to A who immediately returns the ball, turns and runs back towards D, while catching and passing a ball from E to B.

The exercise can last for a set time, or a set number of loops.
