The aim of the session is to develop good catch and pass habits.
Your players need to be able to catch the ball early and out in front of them, quickly transfer the ball across their body, and follow through towards the support player to find their target. Far too often lazy technique can let players down when it comes to passing, leading to dropped balls and missed attacking opportunities. This session irons out bad habits to get players running straight and square and developing positive passing habits.
What's in the Session?
We start with an excellent handling primer and warm up game. Once everyone?s warmed up and ready to go we focus on developing passing technique, focusing on passing repetition to get a good feel for the skill.
We put a clear focus on being able to catch and pass whilst running square and straight. Players often make the mistake of drifting, cutting out the space out wide and breaking up try scoring opportunities. Staying square allows players to fix their opposite player and make the most of the overlap.

Your players can pass beautifully in a warm-up grid. Then a defender closes, their lungs are burning, and the ball goes to ground. Here is how to build catch-pass skills that hold up when it matters.
A box kick or up-and-under is only as good as the chase behind it. Here is how to organise your chase line, compete in the air safely, and make sure your own catchers are ready for what comes next.
World Rugby's lower tackle height is no longer a trial. It is law in community rugby from this season, and unions choose waist or base of the sternum. Here is how to retrain your defence.
