Knee wrestling squares

How it works

1. Pairs kneel facing each other inside a small square.
2. On the whistle, try to push or turn your partner out of the square.
3. 20-second rounds, then rotate partners.

Coaching points

• Pair by size first, friendship second.
• Hands on shoulders and chest only, never the head or neck.
• Lots of praise and laughter. This is about getting used to contact.

Ready for the next level when: Players are laughing and choosing to go again.
