A fun game which forces players to push their passes hard towards the target, improving their accuracy and pass strength. One group aims to intercept a pass with their own ball (the “skeeter”).
This activity encourages hard passes to a target, so will create better passing habits.
Have two balls between four players. (A tip is to have someone on the outside with a spare ball or two to keep the game going if the flies out).
Set up a box, with the size depending on the skills of the players, for example, a 5m for less experienced players.
Set up each pair as in the top picture. The passers pass the ball to each other while “skeeters” aim to intercept the pass by hitting it with their own ball.
If the ball is intercepted, then they get three points.
If the ball is not intercepted, the passers get one point.
The skeeters get a bonus point if they catch their own pass.
The passers cannot throw until the skeeters are ready but they can dummy the pass if they want.
Play until either side reaches 10 points.
Note: The more looped the pass from the passers, the more chance it will be intercepted!
Here’s how to practise the commonly used “tunnel ball” play to break outside the defence by holding defenders with decoy runners and threading the ball between them. MORE
Work on side-on tackles where the defenders are scrambling across to cover the attack. They will need to keep square so they don’t get sidestepped, and keep in the line with their team mates. Moving from a prone position means initially they will be disrupted and will have to find their positioning quickly. MORE
In designing my first session back after lockdown, I need to understand my focus, principles and my team's current state. What is my focus for this return to rugby? I want the players to enjoy their return to rugby and I want to run sessions that allow for plenty of social interaction that they have probably missed. I need to be empathetic to the fact that they will have done a varying amount of exercise in the last few months. I do want to use the next few months to re-enforce my own principles of play for my backline players and build on the skill levels and understanding that will underpin that. MORE
Use this unusual pitch set up to pose problems for your players to solve. As they work out ways to score they will begin to use handling and support to create width on their game. MORE
Encourage your ball carriers to run at pace, looking to avoid contact by anticipating where the spaces are. This is a scanning exercise for just the ball carrier. They will make mistakes, yet start to become attuned to looking for gaps. MORE
Bounce out is a term used to explain the action of the 9 when running away from a breakdown. Here’s how it works and how to practise it in a game-like situation. MORE
