Fall and roll

How it works

  1. Players kneel, fall sideways and roll onto the back of the shoulder.
  2. Repeat from a crouch, then from standing.
  3. Add a ball: fall, place it back, pop up.

Coaching points

  • Tuck the chin to the chest.
  • Never land on a straight arm.
  • Get back up quickly, every time.

Ready for the next level when: Every player can fall from standing calmly without putting an arm out.
