Shield walk-ins

How it works

1. A partner of similar size holds the shield firmly, feet wide, one foot forward.
2. The ball carrier walks into it and drives with their legs for 3 seconds.
3. Go from walking to marching to jogging, then swap roles.

Coaching points

• Players hold the shields, never an adult.
• Ball held in both hands, tight to the chest. Shoulder into the shield, head up and to the side.
• Shield holders give a little and stay balanced, not rigid.

Ready for the next level when: Every player drives into the shield at a jog without slowing down.
