Drill

On a signal SH passes to OH who distributes to target i.e. post, coach, player holding rucking shield etc. OH then realigns and gives signal for next pass (run backwards).

Key Factors:

• Hands out towards incoming ball - take it early.
• Target preferably waist high.
• "Soft" hands, fingers spread.
• Keep ball on the inside until ready to pass.
• Sight target, sweep pass across body - maintain line of run for 1m after passing ball.

Variations:

• Overload
• - Move target further away 2m - 3m - 4m - 5m until a slip pass is attained (8m - 10m).
• Move further from SH. 6m - 8m - 10m - 12m.

Need:

SH, OH + (post or coach/player).

Assessment:

10 balls passed, count number which hit target and how mush time it took. Standardise SH pass to 6m, but vary OH's pass depending on assessment (5m-8m).
