Polonaise-reform game

The first time, this drill will be a bit complicated to set up, so I attached an image showing it:

• Blockers from both teams will stand on the 10ft. lines, alternating between teams, forming a long line on the track (see attached image).
• At the front of this line, the two pivots wait side by side, 10ft. in front of the frontmost non-pivot-blocker.
• 10ft. in front of the pivots, the jammers wait side by side, standing next to them is the coach (signified by a referee in the picture).

When the set-up is ready, the coach will tap one of the jammers, which starts the drill.

• The jammer who has been tapped will skate back, high-five their pivot, and can then commence skating forwards.
• The jammer who has NOT been tapped, can skate forwards immediately.
• As soon as a jammer has been tapped, the blockers from both teams can start to reform and to block.

Low-impact version: Stop the drill round as soon as the first jammer reaches the pack, and have teams discuss among themselves what they did and why. (alternatively, you can have everyone sit down RIGHT where they are on the whistle, and point to people to explain what they're doing and why)

High-impact version: Run the drill round until you think it has outlasted it's usefullness (up to 2min)

• Skaters will communicate well with their teammates about their plan
• Skaters can prioritize between catching the jammer who has been tapped at the front, reforming, offence, and defence
• Skaters can make good decisions about slowing down/speeding up the pack, reforming in front/behind the other skaters, etc. depending on where the jammers are and what their jam-style is.
