Place 4 yellow markers (2ft x 1ft rectangle) where the LH prop's shoulders would be.

Place 2 red markers where channel 1 would be i.e. between Flanker & LHS 2nd row.

Place 2 white markers where LHS 2nd rows feet would be i.e. channel 2.

Key Factors:

• Early positions under ball
• Eyes always on ball
• Hands extend to meet ball
• Elbows close to body
• Bend knees after receiving ball
• Turn side-on when catching ball
