Contact 3
OBJECTIVE:
To practise contact situations.
EQUIPMENT:
Four tackle bags, four hit shields, four tackle suits, one ball, and two cones.
GROUP SIZE:
16 players.
AREA:
20 x 20 metre grid.
DRILL EXPLANATION:
- Four players work up and down the channel, passing the ball.
- On the coach's command the ball is placed on the ground and the players each drive into a hit shield.
- After being driven back to the cones, the shield holders drop their shields and sprint across the channel and hit the tackle bags.
- After the tackle is made, the bag holders secure the grounded ball and attack as a unit into the suited players.
- Suited players stay for a set number of attacks while the other groups of four continue through the sequence to the various positions.
COACHING POINTS:
• Players should maintain low body positions when driving into targets.
• Shoulder should be the first point of contact.
• Strong leg drive should be emphasized.
