Hi Robo,

On our features tab we've got a set of 6 tag rugby sessions that you can view and download for free - these might be helpful when looking for a starting point for coaching your U4s.

Otherwise with young players we'd recommend focusing on teaching the core skills of the game such as passing through games and tag drills.

All the best,
The Sportplan Team
