Avoid aimless kicking from your kickers. Give them targets and then, as they develop, make them look to kick to space and adjust to before they kick.
Help players develop their understanding of how to receive a pass so they can be in a good position to kick to where they want.
ACTIVITY
Put a feeder (9) on the 22m line around the middle of the pitch and a kicker either to the left or right towards the 10m line.
Split the try line into five (giving each a letter) inside the 15m line, between the 15m and posts, the posts and the same the other side.
Shout which letter to aim at and have the kicker receive a pass from the feeder and try to kick the ball across the try line in the appropriate area.
GAME SITUATION
Set up the pitch as in the picture above.
Have three defenders start just outside the 22. Shout out which letters to run into.
At the same time (or just before), indicate which set of cones the feeder should run to. As soon as the feeder gets there, he releases the ball to the kicker who has to kick the ball so it lands in one of the spare areas outside the 22m.
The defenders aim to catch the ball on the full.
TECHNIQUE
Look for spaces to kick, square the shoulders to the target and kick.
Kick lower and hard to beat the defender to the landing point.
Develop your players’ ability to jump to catch a high ball under pressure. This session aims to give your players more confidence. A jump to catch a high ball is not just a vertical jump. The player has to be moving into the space in front of them to dominate the situation. MORE
Develop the skills and tactics to return the ball from kicks to the sides of the pitch, between the 15m and 5m lines. A cross kick can isolate the defending winger. He needs to use kicking and running skills to avoid being caught away from his support. MORE
This small-sided game is ideal to work on players kick chase and keeping the ball alive in attack. You can use this as a standalone skills game or have it as a platform to launch a bigger game of touch and pass from.

Develop rugby rounders into a skills development game specifically aimed at improving kicking techniques and tactics. While there are also good outcomes for catching and passing, I want to focus on the precision of the connection between ball and boot and then finding space with the kick. MORE
Develop a long passing counter-attack game which includes accurate kicking, fielding and moving the ball to space out of your 22. Use this whole pitch exercise to work on the right skills. In a territorial kicking game, your backfield cover needs to be confident to field kicks, pass long and either kick long or run back. MORE
