Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Split the group into teams. Mark out sectors using string chalk or other suitable markers. Mark out a hitting area within each sector and a safe area for non-hitters. Give each team one iron and a ball to share.

ACTIVITY:
Players take it in turns to try and land th ball in the opposing team's sector. All players must stand outside their sector when th opposing team is playing. A point is scored if the ball lands in the opposing team's sector. The team with the most number of points after a specific number of hits or set period of time wins.

COACHING POINTS

CHANGES

Easier: Increase the size of the cestors and/or mark them closer together.
