Open Field Passing Accuracy with Reload- I like using this drill to promote pass accuracy at speed with a reload efficiency to create width on attack - Poles keep the players square & create a pass speed stimulus!

Trajectory Powers - The ability to hit grass from an aggressive kick can take away valuable time for the receiver to assess there options! In partners 2min each to hit between Poles & Under Crossbar - Can move stations once successful - Keep score of how many stations moved!

Performance Playground - As many reps as possible with instant feedback - Shape of ball to foot creates trajectory chaos!

I like using this activity to create hand speed along with pass accuracy- using the poles as an accuracy stimulus/measurement!

3 v 2 Battles - Halfbacks start with paper/rock/scissors battle - Winner becomes the attack - Defence drop off last team member to create a 3 v 2 situation for the attack to solve!
