Passing Alignment Square Drill

Summary
A basic drill to aid realignment in attack

Key Factors

 * Alignment - deep
 * Preserve space for players outside
 * hands up read to receive pass

Equipment Required

 * 4 x white cones - to mark centre square
 * 9 x non white cones to lines
 * 4 x balls

Personel Required

 * groups of 4 players

Instructions

 * 1) using the white cones set up a 10m x 10m square
 * 2) place the balls at one corner inside the square
 * 3) using that as the start corner mark out 3 additional coloured to set where the attacking line should line up to attack the scoring line (signified by that side of the square) passing right to left
 * 4) Mark out 2 further sides of the square in a similar fashion leaving the last side with no cones to guide alignment
 * 5) First group line up on the first side by cones
 * 6) On coaches call the line moves towards the scoring line
 * 7) From the ground A passes to B, B To C, C To D along the line
 * 8) D receives the ball and places at the white cone on the line
 * 9) The players swing around to the next side of the square lining up using the cones
 * 10) Again the line moves towards the scoring line
 * 11) From the ground A passes to B, B To C, C To D along the line
 * 12) On the forth and final side of the square there are no cones so the line must aligne themselves.

Progression

 * During water break set cones other way - repeat in opposite direction
 * As groups improve over time remove cones from one side at a time until only white square remains
