Course reviews

I love decision making drills like this great work. Thanks for the alternate options like vanishing runners.

Australia

Great drill for low tackling getting young players into the right habit.

England

Really good for junior players who need to learn to tackle low!

Ireland

Great example for bringing a safe controlled tackling exercise into a full speed running game. Players are getting fitness during the game.

USA

Love this for coaching the creativity and variation in attack. Next session! Can’t wait. :-)

Great Britain & Northern Ireland

great demo of games based approach

USA

Excellent modified game to showcase the use of Y line unders v overs running lines, (hold v hide players) back door options. Comms on D & A & staying connected on D. Line speed. Great training demo. I’ll be using this at the next training.

New Zealand

Great format allowing for variation options to be added according to what is trying to be achieved. One to use!

England

I think this is very good and I will definitely use it

South Africa

Great simple game, with fitness and player buy-in with the discussion!

Canada

Look forward to seeing the rest of your series Salty. I really enjoy his game progressions to teach/coach valuable aspects of the game. i also liked his line of questioning with the young guns.

Namibia

Lo riproporrò ai miei ragazzi! Sono curioso di vedere se c è un’ evoluzione nei video

esercizio interessante per i giovani, trovare lo spazio libero nella difesa

Look forward to seeing the rest of your series Salty.
