Body shape when jockeying and travelling backwards

Description

In this session we are focusing on our players body shape when jockeying and travelling backwards. The drill starts with the player jockeying from the start cone to the middle cone, changing direction every 2 - 3 strides. The players body position should be side on to prevent the opposition player turning easily. When the player reaches the middle cone, they then transition into a backpedal to enable themselves to see the ball whilst retaining a body shape to move backwards quickly. As the player moves around the deepest cone, the coach then looks to throw the ball in the air for the player to move onto and attack. Each set should consist of 3 - 5 reps and should be completed at least three times.
