Use this box passing game to develop pass, catch and movement skills as well as defensive movement. The players can quickly develop their own adaptions. A great warm-up game for in-season training.
HOW TO PLAY
Play 4 v 3, 3 v 2 or 3 v 3.
The attackers get a point for every completed pass while the defenders aim to intercept the ball.
Attackers cannot enter the square but can move anywhere around it.
Defenders cannot leave their inner 8m square.
Set a target for winning the game. For example, 10 completed passes.
DEVELOPMENTS
Change the space between the boxes.
Attackers are only a certain amount of time on the ball.
Passes have to be only a certain height. For example, lower than hip height or above shoulder height.
Attackers can only move in one direction.
Allow the players to come up with their own variations. For example, types of pass or catch.

You can see the group on the left are using “spicy” passes. They decided that was worth a point. There were no points for normal passes. At the end of this session, each “box” had their own version of the game.

My “Find the bib” game is adapted from the game called “Drop-off touch”. It challenges the players to look for mismatches and also create them too. MORE
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. MORE
This is an adaptation of a game I use in school. It’s great as a warm-up or as a game to encourage and support creativity before moving towards a more rugby-specific game. It encourages and challenges evasion skills, spatial awareness, communication, as well as passing, kicking and catching. MORE
