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:
|

player "run with the ball" to the flag pole.
- Have
player chip the ball to the next player at the flag
pole.
- Have

"give and go" to
the player at the flag pole.
