Up and back in
How it works
- The ball carrier walks into a tackler who starts in a crouch, as in Walking gate tackle.
- After the tackle, the tackler lets go, gets up and runs back behind a cone line level with the ball before they can play again.
- A third player picks up the placed ball and walks on. The tackler chases them once they're back behind the line.
Coaching points
- Let go, get up, get back.
- You're only back in the game once you're behind the ball.
- Ball carrier: land, turn, place long.
Ready for the next level when: Tacklers release and get back behind the ball every time without reminders.
