Put three players on the start line standing about 3m apart. Place a cone in front of each player – one at 5m, one at 10m and one at 15m.
Have the first player run out with a ball. When he reaches the cone in front of him, he stops as if he’s been tagged and passes the ball to the next player, who is running slightly behind him.
The next player runs forward to the cone in front of him and repeats with the last player who runs to the cone in front of him and then on to the end of the area.
Other groups of three can follow up behind. When all the players have reached the end of the area, they can turn and repeat the activity running back the other way.
Develop by having the first two players run around to take a pass from the last player (after they have completed their own passes).

How many players do I need
Three players take part each time. With up to 12 players, have them wait their turn in groups of three. If you have more players, set up two games.
Attackers need to identify when a blindside is ripe to attack. They do that as they move into position. Test if they can call it and then execute it. MORE
A hard and fast flat miss pass can cut out defenders before they have a chance to change their running angles. It can lead to clean breaks as your attackers exploit the gaps.
By scanning the line and hitting the ball at an angle towards a space, the ball carrier is going to be almost impossible to stop. MORE
I was helping out a representative under 15s training session. I had been given two techniques to cover as part of a skill. One attacking technique and one defensive. MORE
Practise your backs moves in a more realistic environment. Identify weak defenders with constraints that will make your attackers want to play down that channel and exploit mismatches. MORE
Tom Brocklebank , Leicester Tigers junior academy coach, suggests that teams lose the ball at the breakdown because players don't look after the ball. Use competitive activities with consequences to improve their contact skills. MORE
