Description of Drill-Execution
Players are released by the coach who throws or rolls a ball to a specific line #1-4. Players can stay in for a pre-determined # of plays. Defense rotates in at the same intervals as offensive players. Players A#1, A#4, and M#3 are on offense. Coach would roll the ball to M#2 in line #2 to start the next set.
