| Exercise / Drill explanation: 1. On the coach's call the ball is passed along the backline, who is aligned on side AB. The players must complete the passing before they reach line AB of the grid and the final ball carrier places the ball on B. 2. The players must then re-align from B on side BC and they repeat the passing drill attacking line BC. 3. Once this has been completed, the ball carrier puts the ball down on C, the players re-align on CD and they can continue the drill. |
