Edge Defence Jockey Drill
Edge Defence Jockey Drill
What code and age are this drill appropriate for?
This drill can be applied to the tackle and tag format of the game and is suitable for ages 15+ only.
Key coaching points:
- Players in defence, paddle/jockey for inside man to come and help
- Defenders keep feet under hips and stay square
- Communicate “go, go” or “I have ball” for outside defenders to release
Things to remember when running this drill:
- Focus on the skill, not the drill
- Allow your players to practice on their dominant and non-dominant side (Bilateral learning)
- Have multiple grids/versions of the drill set up so all players are involved
Modifying the drill into a game or make it more challenging:
- Adjust the first pole to make it easier/harder for the defender
- If players don’t communicate then that group must do 5 push ups
- Make it into a game. Make 2 teams- both teams get 5 goes each defending. 1 point for defending the attack, lose 1 point if they fail to defend it. The team that finishes up with the most points after 5 turns defending each win.
