KICK<br />
This drill has been created to teach<br />
forwards that they all become<br />
defenders when the opposition has<br />
the ball. Once the footy has been<br />
won back they become attackers<br />
again. They need to position<br />
themselves to be a leading or<br />
longer more stationary target for<br />
their teammates.<br />
1. 1 Red on wing kicks it to the three Yellows to<br />
simulate a turnover.<br />
2. 2 Red forwards must react to this by running up the<br />
ground to create pressure and help prevent Yellows<br />
from switching the play.<br />
3. 3 Yellows kick long inside their attacking 50, where<br />
Red defenders win the ball. Red forwards may come<br />
in to play as a long kick to relieve the pressure by Red<br />
defenders. If the Red defenders and midfielders run<br />
and carry the ball outside defensive 50, then Red<br />
forwards can run back towards their goal to be<br />
a longer option.<br />
4. 4 Red forwards then need to be a leading option<br />
or long option for when the Red midfielders are<br />
ready to kick the ball.<br />
