Maul body position

How it works

1. The ball carrier stands side-on, holding the ball in two hands at their chest.
2. Two teammates bind on, one each side, low and strong: feet wide, shoulders above hips, heads up.
3. Hold the shape for 5 seconds, then swap jobs. No opposition.

Coaching points

• Stay on your feet. Heads up, backs flat.
• Bind with your whole arm, not by grabbing shirts.
• Nobody twists or pulls.

Ready for the next level when: Every group can hold a strong, safe shape for 5 seconds without wobbling.
