SESSION THEME

Energised basics to quick play.

SESSION OUTLINE

THE GAMES

All three games in this session will be the AB v C game.

Split your team into three groups, each with a letter. If you have more than 20 players, then run two games.
In each game, two teams combine in attack to play one team in defence. 

The attacking team has three lives, and must score as many tries as they can. Once they have lost all of their lives, one of the attacking groups rotates with the defending team.

The game will be touch rugby. When a player is touched, unless they are in the act of passing, they have to go to the ground and present the ball. The next arriving attacking player must clear over the prone ball carrier, before the ball is passed away. There is no kicking.

For all the games, the attacking team loses a life for an attacking infringement, such as a knock-on or going into touch. The defending team gives a life back if they infringe, like a deliberate knock-on.

The versions of each game will include ‘life’ rules, to encourage players to improve their core skills.
