10 min	3 v 3 Ground Balls This drill teaches the importance of attacking the ball and communicating with your team mates. Man, Ball, Release 6 players are used for the drill, 3 per team The rule of 3 is one player goes for man, the other ball, the last hovers and circles A coach rolls a ball out and the players call man, ball, and the 3rd person hovers/circles to try and get the ball if its kicked out. The “man” player looks to box out the closet competitor The “ball” player runs through the ball and tries to scoop it, if its not possible, the player looks to flip the ball out to the 3rd player hovering and circling. The 3rd player runs in half circles or full circles around the scrum looking to get a ball kicked out to them.
