Regain possession | Handling

Regain possession:

The player with the ball rolls the ball out for a player to run onto and collect whilst moving.

They then pass the ball back before replacing the player that rolled the ball out. The player that rolled the ball out runs to join the back of the queue.

Handling
Beat the defence | Passing

Beat the defence:

Offensive players (blue), line out in one deep line while the defence (red) line up opposite in a straight line, slightly inside player from the player that they are marking.

The offence will attempt to pass the ball across the line at speed.

Defenders will move up to stop them but do not tackle, simply press. This teachers the attackers to pass under pressure, as they try to pass across the line without making any mistakes.

Passing

Set up a channel with two sets of defenders working in pairs inside.

Three attacking players start with the ball and run around the far cone, realigning as they run around the cone. Players then play out the 3v2.

After this first 3v2 the attackers must move the ball quickly and play out the second 3v2.
