This category focuses on all aspects of kicking in rugby.These drills help players develop accurate, consistent kicking skills.Perfect for backs and kickers from U12 through Senior level.Ideal for coaches developing players who can control games with the boot.
Use the kicking drills and videos below to develop your players' accuracy, technique, tactical awareness and skills so they know the right kick to use to take advantage of a situation, and have the skill to execute it correctly.
Through these kicking drills your players will develop the ability and technique to complete the drop (kicking out of hand), box, kick-off, chip, grubber, long, high, short, and low kicks.
Each kick has a purpose, so use these drills to coach your players on how to start play, gain ground - so the player (chaser) can get past the defensive line without being tackled - and to convert a try or penalty.
