Twelve vertical yards, then the square break for the Out and Dig routes: two to three steps to slow down, hips dropping, and a sharp 90-degree turn. Eight repetitions in each direction, without the ball.

Key points
- Everything is a Go until it’s something else: the stem gives nothing away.
- Lower your hips before the cut. Keeping your chest up signals the cut.
- Maintain the same speed on the way out as on the way in: that’s the only thing that matters.
- In a group, with a ball: your partner throws to you as you come out of the break. Same movement, plus the catch.
Common mistakes
- Braking over four or five steps, which gives the defender a beat.
- Rounding it off and running two yards more than planned.
