Rugby League: 2 vs 2 (loop and step inside)

What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

This is a basic 2 vs 2 drill to allow players to progress from a simple 2 v 1.

In a channel no wider than 10m, 2 attackers have 5 attempts to score a try on the red cones.

The attackers try to create space and beat the defenders by running good support and holding lines.

COACHING POINTS

right attacker needs to run at right defender, so the defence slides quicker to cover the loop

timing of side step is crucial. Ball carrier needs to scan the left defender to see if over committed before deciding on how far to step

2 vs 1 - Decision Making:

Four players per group inside a 10m x 30m Channel. Requires 10 cones and 1 ball.

Two players start outside of the grid with two players inside. One of the outside players passes the ball to one of the inside players before both of the outside players (defenders) run through the red gates.

The two inside players (attackers) have to try and cross the try line before the defenders can tackle them, if the attackers are too slow they will create a two 2 v 1 situation.

Decision making

2 vs 1 - 3 vs 2 - 5 vs 4:

2 players start with the ball and play a 2 vs 1 they then form a 3 to beat the next 2 players whom in turn join the 3 and form a 5 top beat the last 4 defenders to score a try.

Warm up

2 vs 2 (in - out line):

In a channel no wider than 10m, two attackers have 5 attempts to score a try on the red cones.

The attackers try to create space and beat the defenders by running good support and holding lines.

Decision making

3 vs 2 - Sprint to support:

15m x 35m Grid.

1 Attacker starts on the half way line of the grid, with the other two outside of the grid back to back with two defenders. On the command the one attacker runs around the red cone, with the other one running around the blue cone - likewise for the defenders.

Once they have run around the cones a 3 vs 2 will develop. If the player with the ball passes immediately this will give a 3 vs 2 in the middle of the pitch.
