In the first channel, players pass the ball across the line in a chain. After the first pass, the player that started the chain remains in the middle to become a defender

COACHING POINTS

Attacker - run into space, dodge

Ball in 2 hands

Hands ready (make a target)

Delay your run so you are always behind the ball

Only pass if tagged or someone else is in a better position

OFTEN USED WITH...

Catch me if you can:

Number of players : up to 10 in a group. Each player should have a tag belt.

Each player should partner up with someone and then proceed to stand side by side. On the coaches call the players run to that sideline. If the coach calls 1 for example they have to run to the sideline before the 2s can catch them.

Attack The Space:

The pitch is divided into two halves

The defenders must start at opposite corners of the pitch

The attacker must have at least one player in either half. The middle player starts with the ball.

4 vs 1:

Groups of 5

Combine grids to make 2 channels each 10m x 20m

1 Ball per group

Ball carrier tries to score a try by running past the defender. Support players follow the ball carrier. If tagged, the ball carrier must pass the to one of his / her support players.

The defender must GIVE the tag back before trying to make a second tackle.

Chain Reaction:

Divide the 20m x 20m grid in half. 1 Ball per group

Players 1 starts standing with the ball. Player 2 starts on one knee. Player 3 starts on both knees. Player 4 lies on their front. Player 5 lies on their back.

On the teachers call, all players try to start running forward as quickly as possible, and pass the ball along the line. The starting positions should mean that every pass is made to a player supporting from behind.
