About 6 players, balls, about 12x7 m, cones, bibs. 2 teams. One team has to fetch balls that lie behind a line. The other team tries to tag the first team by taking their tails. Players who lose their tail do lunge walks back to the line and then get to try again. The aim is to fetch as many balls as possible in 1.5 minutes. Progression – carrying the ball: The attackers must still get across the middle zone without losing their tail. On the way back they must carry the ball. The defending team must then take the ball and carry it back behind the line. It is allowed to take the ball back until a player has carried it over their line. Players who lose their tail or ball hop on one leg back before trying again.
What the coach should look for
- Run and carry the ball towards free space, change direction and speed up when you are being chased.
- Take the ball from the opponent by tackling.
- Win the ball back if you lose it.
- Carry the ball away from the opponent once you have won it.
