1 v 1 Evasion: Speed

1 v 1 Evasion: Speed

Standard grid of approximately 20m x 20m.  Ball is passed to attacker by a coach or another player to start the drill.  

Note the defender is shallow.  This is the signal to the attacker that he can use his/her speed to beat the defender.  This drill will hopefully instill confidence in the runner that he/she has adequate speed to beat the defender.

Key points:

• • Recognize position of defender to know speed is appropriate

  • Confidence in own speed

  • Run for corner of try zone
