Contest Line Outs:

One player throws the ball in to 5 players standing side by side. One player to stand in the scrum half position so as to be ready to receive a pass.

Pupils should :-

Attack the ball by moving forwards.

Catch the ball in two hands.

Players on either side of the jumper need to protect the jumper after they have caught the ball.

Lineout

3 on 3 engagement procedure.:

Front Rows coming together. Each prop touches the opponents upper arm and then pause before the front rows meet.

The sequence should be: "Crouch, bind, set".

Coaches should replicate this call when practising to help players develop their timing and to assist the Referee

Scrum

Lineout Game:

The coach calls out the number of people that required in the lineout, together with a team name to. The hooker throws the ball in for both teams to compete for the ball. The lineout is over when the scrum half receives the ball.

If a team wins the ball and the coach has called their team name then they receive 1 point. If the team wins the line out against the coaches call then they receive 2 points.
