Falling and Getting Up Drills
Circle Drill
Have the athletes stand in a circle. Randomly call out athletes by name, jacket color, etc., and have athletes practice falling when called out.
Line Drill
Have the athletes stand in a line. Begin by tossing a hat or other object to an athlete, who must then demonstrate a proper fall. The athlete then tosses the object back to the coach, who then throws the object to another athlete in the line. While practicing falling, athletes can help encourage proper form of teammates.
