Support runner race

How it works

  1. A ball carrier starts running from a cone. Two support players start 5 metres behind.
  2. The supports race to get beside the carrier and call. The carrier passes to the first one to arrive and call.
  3. Rotate. Then add a still defender the carrier must run at before passing.

Coaching points

  • Ball goes, you go.
  • Arrive behind and beside the ball, then call.
  • The first to call gets the ball.

Ready for the next level when: Support arrives and calls within a couple of seconds, every time.
