Flag Running


 
Coaching Points:
 
  • Place flag poles approximately 20 to 30 yards apart ( 9 to 27 meters ) as in the diagram above.
  • Position a player at each flag pole.
  • Position a group of players with a ball each at the starting point.
Instructions:
 
  • First player at the "start line" passes to player (2) and runs to flag 2.
  • Player (2) passes to player (3) and runs to flag 3.
  • Player (3) passes to player (4) and runs to flag 4.
  • Player (4) passes to player (5) and runs to flag 5.
  • Player (5) passes to player (6) and runs to flag 6.
  • Player (6) passes to player (7) and runs to flag 7.
  • Player (7) controls the ball and dribbles full speed to the starting line.

Note: The sequence is started each time player (3) passes to player (4).
This ensures that several balls are being played at the same time and keeps a high tempo to the practice.
 

Progressions:
 
  • Have player "run with the ball" to the flag pole.
  • Have player chip the ball to the next player at the flag pole.
  • Have players run with the ball half way and play a "give and go" to
    the player at the flag pole.
