Rugby: Catching the high ball on the move

CORRECT tackling position.

Tacklers arms wrapped around the players waist that they are tackling.

Head tucked in behind the player.

5 players and 1 ball.

4 players in a staggered line in a coned area with 1 player in the middle as the tackler.

Player 2 runs with the ball drawing the tackler towards him, the ball is then passed inside to player 1, avoiding the tackler.

The ball is then passed backwards along the line to each player with player 4 scoring a try.

The player at the end of the line scores a try.

Repeat the drill going in the opposite direction.

Players rotate so that they all have a go as the tackler.

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.
