DESCRIPTION

Players stand in a line on the sideline, with balls set up on the line opposite.

On the coach's whistle, the player run towards the balls, pick them up and bring them back to the player's starting spot, before running to the other sideline.

From here, they repeat the drill, running to the ball, picking it up and bringing it back with them.

COACHING POINTS

PROGRESSION

Put balls on both touchlines so that players switch the ball to the other side every time they run.
