It is important to ensure that students are competent with basic rollball skills, such as the static rollball, before progressing to the following skills Dynamic Rollball A dynamic rollball is the technique of dumping the ball whilst driving or rucking downfield with speed and momentum. The dynamic rollball refers specifically to the fast play of the ball where downtime is to be minimised. Activity: Dynamic Rollball Drills Progression Roll Ball Positioning (Side of Defence! To maximise the advantage to the offensive team at the rollball, the attacker should attempt to complete the rollball to the side of the defender, not directly in front. The skill should be performed when executing every rollball as it will maximise the advantage to the attacking team because it increases the distance that the defender must retreat to get onside. Activity: Dynamic Rollball Drills Dump and Split The Dump and Split is the fast execution of a rollball whereby the ball carrier dumps and moves sideways immediately following a touch being effected by a defender. This allows the player that just dumped the ball to be in a live attacking position where they can receive the ball (pass from the acting half) and attack the defender, before the defender is able to retreat to an onside position. This tactic is generally used during line attack (referred to as a ‘Quickie’) to attack the offside defender. The dump and split is often also used as a fast restart immediately following a turnover, so that the attacking team can maximise the advantage against the opposition if they are slow to react to the turnover.
