Rugby: Shorten The Recovery Time

-Players play in pairs as a team and alternate shots scoring a point each time a shot is hit in the back 1/3 of the court.
-If a ball is hit short the players can attack.
-Attacking shots should also be hit deep (1/3 back of court) and if they are hit as outright winners the team will score an extra 3 points.
-First side to 7 points wins the game.
-The game can also be started with service and then carried on as described above.

-Lines of cones are placed as seen in the picture above.
-To make the drill easier it can be played on one half of the court and later progressed to full court.
-If the ball lands in the service box a point is deducted.Ball landing between the 2 lines of cones = 1 point.Players gain 3 points for shots hit into the last quarter.
-First player to 11 points wins the game.
-The game can also be started with a second serve.

Two players play out a point and they are not allowed to step outside of the back of the court (resticted area).

If players do step into the restricted area they immediately forfeit the point.

Players 1 and 2 stand opposite each other, close to the net, working in the half court service boxes.

Players take it in turns to start the point by holding the ball on top of the net and then release it, letting it fall to whichever side it chooses.

The ball can bounce once or be volleyed. The tram-lines are out and no topspin or pace must be used by either player.

Players play first to 21 points.
