Be square, sit down defenders, build shape into your passing
are the key skills Shannon Fraser concentrates on in part 1 of his Edge Attack series.
Different Edge Attack skills are required for high/hard and soft/back defences as Shannon demonstrates with his St Joseph Nudgee College players.
Width/Space, number of defenders, speed of ball are all factors that influence your Return Edge Attack play.
Shannon Fraser, with his St Joseph Nudgee College players, details the different considerations in an Edge Attack approach and objectives in part 2 of his Edge Attack series, at the recent Youth Rugby Coach Forum.
It is not always about the immediate play that matters!
Last man can do what they want is the ideal outcome of an Edge Attack.
Shannon Fraser builds an Open Edge Attack with his St Joseph’s Nudgee players and then challenges their Edge Attack decision making with a modified game.
Note: all completed within a 20.×20 mtrs space!

Excelente evolución del “vértice” (parte 1) y su aplicación práctica a situaciones de partido (parte 2). Por favor traducir a español.
Great drills. Both teach decision making and go towards increasing player game IQ.
Love this drill in the 20×20 grid. Lots of opportunity for decision making. Cheers
Great video with a new angle on the L drill with D and the attack with what I call a pb. Excellent
Great clarity by Shannon with the edge attack player, running lines.
