High Catch-Catch & Kick

This is an advanced drill to practice the High Catch technique.

Organisation

• Mark out a grid approximately 30m x 30m
• The players work in two pairs
• The player in possession must kick to their partner in the opposite pair who must field the ball using the high catch
• The second player in the opposite pair provides token opposition
• On receiving the pass the ball is transferred to the other player in the pair who in turn punt kicks back to their partner
• Encourage the kicker to place the ball to either side of the receiver requiring them to move into position to field the pass

Variation

T - To increase the difficulty of the drill the opponent may provide full opposition to the receiver
