Land, turn, long place
How it works
- Players jog around with a ball. On the whistle they go to ground on their side, as in Fall and roll.
- On the floor, they turn towards their own team and place the ball back at full arm's length.
- Pop up and go again. Add a buddy who shouts “place!” and picks the ball up.
Coaching points
- Land on the side, chin tucked, ball in two hands.
- Long place: arms stretched back towards your team, so the ball is away from the tackler.
- Get up straight away. The ball doesn't belong to the player on the floor.
Ready for the next level when: Every player lands safely and places the ball back long without being told.
