INTRODUCTION

This is another basic drill which teaches a number of different elements of Rugby League. The drill works on timing, passing left and right as well as comunication skills.

INSTRUCTIONS

Set out an oblong around 15 by 25 feet with a cone on each corner and then split your players equally in lines behind the cones.

Player one sets off along the longest side of the oblong, passing right to player two who then runs diagonally across the oblong before passing to three who goes along the opposite length, passing to 4 who again crosses diagonally.

Complete a set number of rotations to complete the drill.

Coaching Points

Watch for the runner carrying the ball corectly, looking up with the ball below the chin and elbows out.

The pass should be infront of the receiver as they are moving forward at pace. If the pass is direct to the receiver then they may miss it due to running past the position of the pass.

Check that the reciever communicates with the ball carrier

ADVANCING THE DRILL

Add a second ball in where player 1 started from when player 3 leaves.

Preassurise the drill by adding a set of press ups or sit ups dependent on a number off balls being dropped.
