6 Person Cradling Relay

This is a fun drill to improve condition while working on the fundamentals of cradling when running full speed.

• You will need to use cones and the field lines and balls

• Divide players into teams of 6

• Put cones on GLE, restrainers and midfield. 

• The starting player(s) is at the end line

• On the whistle the first player sprints with the ball and puts the ball on the ground. 

• Their teammate near GLE will pick up the ball and continue, when the relay gets to the last player on the opposite GLE they must run to the far end line, near end line (where player one started) and then back to their teammate that started the drill who is now at the cone on GLE.  

• The drill is completed when each player has run every leg with the ball.
