Shield maul walk

How it works

1. One player holds a shield, braced, feet wide.
2. A group of three binds together around a ball carrier and walks forward into the shield, pushing the holder back 3 steps.
3. Stay on your feet and keep the shape. Swap the shield holder each go.

Coaching points

• Players hold the shields, never an adult.
• Low and strong. Push with the legs, heads up.
• Stop straight away if anyone goes down or gets twisted.

Ready for the next level when: Groups walk the shield back on their feet and in shape every time.
