Side to Side Charge

This drill can also be use to improve tackling.

Aim/Focus:

• Creating space to penetrate.
• To improve defensive skills.

How to Play:

• 3 or 4 players line up with tackle bags evenly spread out forming a channel towards the goals.
• Players must carry the ball towards the channel performing a side to side charge on each tackle bag.
• After they have passed all the tackle bags, the player shoots for goal.
• Rotate players on tackle bags after every few turns.

Progression

• Increase number of players with tackle bags or remove tackle bags to allow proper side to side charges.
• Tacklers only attempt to make a hit on the attacker when his number is called.
