Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
I coach a womans 7s team. Every two weeks we have a two game tournament. The problem is that for the whole first game the girls play like they haven't woken up yet, and only in the second game their real rugby comes out. How do I help them play strong from the start?
I know of players who are very competent XV-a-side players, but who have ben told they do not have the size needed to break through into the higher levels. In many cases, they do have a broad range of multi-skills, speed and fitness (learnt from having to overcome) that I think would lend well into 7s....but I'm not sure how older players are being identified in the UK. Any thoughts?
Beep test - suggested levels of achievement. I coach at level 7 in England am looking for any data on the average level in beep test that should be achieved by different positions (e.g front row, back row, backs). Does anyone have any data or suggestions?
I just finished my collegiate rugby career. I feel inspired I would love to coach rugby to women in countries that have a lower popularity of women's rugby. How do I get started?
I coach under 9`s rugby and a lot of the kids have a bad fear of tackling, they lack the confidence to get stuck in. What is the best thing to help them overcome this?
