Work on both your team's attack and defence with this session!
Develop their ability to offload the ball once they've broken through the initial tackle, as well as improving their 2nd wave defence, looking at how they can slow down and turn over the ball. Make sure that your team are ready when the initial line of defence has been broken and support is needed!
What's in the session?
