Rugby: Narrow Channel Passing

Tell your players the following......

1. There will be two static players, passers, on the mid sections cones. One on each side. One of which will have a ball.
2. There will be one runner who will start with one ball in their left hand.
3. The ball carrier should start running towards the other side of the grid. The static player with the additional ball feeds that ball to the runner who has to catches the ball with their right hand only - and underloads the ball to player the opposite side.
4. Repeat 5 times and then change over.

• Keep your player briefing, brief! If necessary you might considering having one group quickly demonstrate the exercise to the other players.
• Tell the players the following.......

1. This exercise is nice and simple. They should stand at a cones in the circle, but their order in number should be random as in the diagram above.
2. They have to pass to the next number up. So 1 passes to 2, who passes to 3 - and so on.
3. That's get - lets get the ball moving!

Tell the players the following....

1. Player 1 starts with the ball.
2. Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and then quickly moves off their cone and runs to the cone where player 2 is and back to their cone.
3. Player 2 then passes to player 3, follows the pass to the position of player 3 and back to their starting position.
4. Change your passing hand each time
5. The aim is to for the players to be back in their starting position before the ball returns back, but main thing is that they provide a good pass to the receiving player.

• Passing warm up game
• Two teams
• No moving with the ball (similar to netball)
• Aim is to complete 10 passes
• If a team completes 10 passes, the other team does 10 push ups.
