3 Runs an angled course back in front of the passer.
4 Wrapper delays run and then wraps around the ball carrier into the space provided.
5 Wrapper receives pass and straightens up.
6 Most effective when done at pace.
Wrap
Important Points
-
• Best attempted when attacking side has forward
momentum and defenders are rolling backwards
and under pressure.
-
•To attract defenders attention, the Receiver should
look defender in the face while on the angled run.
Only look for the Wrapper when sure defender is
drawn and chasing.
• Angling in is imperative. This shortens the distance
the Wrapper has to cover, opens the gap wider and
allows the Wrapper to straighten.
• The Wrapper should delay his run. Wait for the
outside defender to chase in before commencing
to wrap.
• The Wrapper should call clearly on the way
around so that the Ball Carrier knows where he
is before looking.
• Wrapping is a good way to finish the
Three Man Ruck activity.
