Skill: Agility & Tackling

Drill

Player 'A' sprints to cone on signal "GO". Before reaching the cone he will receive a signal "LEFT" or "RIGHT". 'A' then takes over bag & releases player to join queue. OR

Use 2 players - 'A' hits designated bag, 'B' hits other bag.

Agility & Tackling

Key Factors:

  • Low body position.
  • Short, quick strides with quick arms.
  • Drive with legs & grab tightly with both arms.

Variations:

  • Use rucking pads instead of tackle bags - Hit & Drive.
  • Overload by delaying instructions as close to cone as possible.
    (markers can be placed 1 meter apart from the last cone backwards for 5m!)

Groups:

Minimum of 3 players.
