Keep Ball:

Groups of 5. Grid 10 m x 10 m and 1 Ball per group.

4 Players work as a team to make 10 passes. Defender tries to tag a player who is holding the ball. Either rotate the defenders or if caught the tagged player becomes the next defender.

Warm-up tag:

Start your session by splitting the players into two teams, one with bibs and the other without.

Once the teams have been decided begin the game of touch rugby.

Red Arrows:

Groups of 5. 1 Ball per group

Players start in single file

The first player runs out 5m then stops, turns slightly and gives a little pop pass to player 2 who runs out another 5m then stops, turns slightly and gives a little pop pass to player 3.

Catch me if you can:

Number of players : up to 10 in a group. Each player should have a tag belt.

Each player should partner up with someone and then proceed to stand side by side. On the coaches call the players run to that sideline. If the coach calls 1 for example they have to run to the sideline before the 2s can catch them.
