Bull dog

Players begin in a line with a ball each with one player (the bull dog) standing in front of the line without a ball. The aim is to try and get past the bull dog to another line without a flag being pulled. If it is pulled the player puts the ball to the side becomes another bull dog. Keep going until all players have had at least one flag pulled.

TEACHING POINTS

Securing the football:
Remember the 5 points of contact:

1. lower bicep 2. forearm 3. palm 4. fingers 5. chest

Making the ball touch all these points of contact on the arm will secure the ball at both ends and allow a smooth, safe running style.
