Rugby: Catching the high ball

2 players and 1 ball.

Player A throws or kicks a high ball for player B to catch by taking steps to meet the ball.

The box kick is a very dangerous tactic for attack and defense.

When attacking it can apply immense pressure on a team by putting the ball behind them. It also isolates the receiver making them vulnerable to turnover.

It can also be dangerous if not executed correctly as you can end up giving away possession.

Within a set playing area split your players into two groups - catchers and runners.

It's the catcher's job to tag as many runners as possible with the ball.

Once a runner has been tagged they are "stuck", and must stand in a T-shape, with their arms up. They cannot move until they are released by another runner.

If you are stuck, the other players can release you by touching you on the head or running under your outstretched arms and/or legs.

5 players and 1 ball.

2 players on each side of a coned area with 1 player in the middle as the tackler.

Player 1 runs with the ball to get to the other side to score a try. They must stay inside the coned area.

The player in the middle attempts to stop the player by placing both hands on the runner, just above their waist.

Players rotate after all 4 players have run.

Points can be awarded for each try scored, or each tackle made.
