afl training for players

Players must make more than one effort when the ball is in their area, however some players have a tendancy to be lazy and stop after one effort. This drill makes players recover quickly, simulating the sustained intensity required in a game situation, plus they practice goakicking when tired from their effort.

When a player is being tackled, it's vital they don't let their opponent pin their arms and can give a handball to advantage rather than let the ball spill out loosely. This drill teaches players to position their body when being tackled so they can get an effective handball away rather than turnover the ball.

This drill practices kicking long to a leading target, and providing a running option for a marking player.
