DRILL SET-UP:

DRILL EXPLANATION:

  1. On the coach's call, players must run from one line to the opposite line without being tackled by the selected defender.
  2. Once tackled, that player joins the defending team.
  3. This continues until the last attacking player is declared the winner.
  4. No more than one defender at a time should attempt to tackle any one player.

COACHING POINTS:

• When tackling:
- head up, eyes on target
- reach the tag to the side of the legs
- call out "rip"
