WEBINAR ALERT: SATURDAY 5TH FEBRUARY 2022 930am UK time
Struggling to know what and how to coach the scrum with U14s to U18s, then experienced schools’ coach, Spencer Williams has the solutions.
Understanding that you often have limited time and limited numbers for full scrum sessions, Spencer will talk you through the key factors you need to cover. He will give you practical activities that you can use in training, no matter how many players you have.
There will be plenty of chances to quiz Spencer during the event.
The webinar is exclusive to Rugby Coach Weekly subscribers. Sign up in the link below.
There will also be a recording of the webinar if you can’t make it.
The agenda:
What a scrum really means for U14-U18s?
How to build a scrum without a full pack.
Practical ideas for training without a scrummage machine.
Tips and tricks to make sure you have a safe, functioning scrum.
Spencer is currently the forwards’ coach at Diss RFC, level 7, and the rugby professional at Culford School. He has coached age grade and county rugby.
We have plenty of tag resources on this site, and I’m keen to ensure they can easily be upgraded into full sessions. Perhaps they won’t be doing much rucking, but there’s plenty else to learn from tag beginnings. MORE
Ian Diddams reviews the latest law directives around the ruck, and looks at how you might adjust your training sessions to help your players become more effective in this contact area. MORE
