Ball presentation is how the ball-carrier makes the ball available to a teammate after they have been tackled.
The ball presentation videos and drills below show your players how to present the ball - keeping hands and elbow close to the body as they hit the pitch. Through the 1v1, 2v1 and game related tackling drills your players will develop the correct technique to ensure he/she makes the pass easier or completes an offload after the tackle.
Methods for ball presentation include the jacknife and roll, long arm, and the ball roll which place the ball in the best position for the support to keep the attack going and make it harder for the opposition to create a turnover.
