Low and strong

How it works

1. One partner holds a bag; the other carries the ball into it.
2. Players practise the safest body position for going into contact.
3. Swap after 3 goes. Praise the best body position, not the hardest hit.

Coaching points

• Low, wide feet and little steps before contact.
• Tuck the ball away from the contact.
• Never lead with the head.

Ready for the next level when: Players get into the low, strong position without being told.
