EXPERT SESSIONS AND ADVICE FROM QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED GRASSROOTS RUGBY COACHES
Three-on-three touch rugby places the onus on the attack. Players have to work extra hard to make overlaps or get into space. With only one tackle and quick turnovers, there is a premium on fitness and accuracy in this game.

in Passing & Handling, Rugby drills
Here's my analysis of four different scrum half passes. Each one has their own style and is effective in its own way. Use these clips to inform your own coaching and share with your 9s to help them find improvements in their passing. MORE
in Contact, Defence, Passing & Handling
Use this session to develop two core skills for players so they have a chance to practise and nail one key factor for each. MORE
in Girls/Womens, Passing & Handling
Use this handling game as an ideal warm-up as well as a challenge for the players to innovate. Thanks to Geraint Davies for this idea. MORE

Use this passing game to encourage accurate, fast passing developing into passing at pace, both by going forward and moving the ball laterally. Lots of passing practice doesn’t reward accurate passing. Unless the pass isn’t executed well, the passing group won’t beat the lone runner. MORE
in Core skills, Passing & Handling
Use three main themes for the ball carrier so they can engage defenders, pass well and be able to support after they have made the pass. MORE
in Passing & Handling, Rugby drills
Develop your players’ ability to pass with their heads up to see what’s coming. Help them pass in corridors of traffic but with limited chances of collisions. Avoiding collisions means looking ahead, but still looking to take a pass. Expect mistakes as players don’t focus on what’s in front of them enough. MORE
