What it trains

Beat your chaser, then find the friend waiting in the far end zone to bank a point.

Two things to watch

  • Run straight at your chaser, then drop a shoulder and go past on the open side before you give it
  • The end-zone friend slides along the line until there is a clear path for the ball
