  • Give 4 players a ball who stand on cones (C - F). Assign a competing pair (A & B).
  • This drill is pretty simple - there will be kicks from each of (C - F), one at-a-time, to leading (A), while (B) attempts to spoil.
    (A) must remain inside the 50m arc
  • (C - F) kick their ball:-
    When (A) has signaled/called to them
    When (A) has enough space to mark without being spoiled
  • If (A) is covered by (B), the kicker can choose to hold onto the ball, in which case (A) makes another lead
    (A)'s next lead can be a different player with a ball (if there is one).
  • If (A) marks, the kicker gets front and square to receive a handball, runs past (A) to receive and takes a shot.
    If the kicker misses target (A), they take no further part (no shot on goal).
    Penalties can apply if the kick was rotten
  • After (C - F) all kick, rotate players to the next station in sequence, deliver balls back to (C to F) and restart.
    Substitute extras if required. This drill can run at both ends of the ground if you have a full oval.
