Following on from Question about U10 Lineouts - Is it allowable for players at this age to practice the lift in training? I dont think its advisable for a match situation at this age but would like to start coaching it now so as to give development time.

I would strongly suggest that you don't coach lifting in the line out, whether in training for fun or not, until much later - unless technique is excellent and the players strength is sufficient - lifting can result in serious injuries.
Nine years olds can have great fun moving in the line to get away from their opponents without needing to be lifted.

Nathan There is no point in coaching lifting at this age grade or any other up to the age of 16.It is not allowed and dangerous. It is allowed at U15 level for county sides but club sides U16. ERIC STOKES
