HOW CAN I IMPROVE PLAYERS ABILITY TO PERFORM THE LATERAL PASS ?
how do you become better at running lines and angles when attacking with the ball in rugby
teahcing primary school kids and could use some drills
We have two very fast wingers but we cannot get them the ball . Teams are coming up fast and we are lucky to get the ball to the O. C. We have tried setting up further back but too many times we are getting caught behind the gain lines when we do that. Any ideas?
My players often line-up too flat on attack, especially in later phases. How can I work on improving their depth?
Hi, I'm coaching Tag rugby in Japan for ages 8-9yrs. Tryingto help kids stay in a defensive line and not group towards ball. Looking for drill ideas
Hey all,Can anyone suggest some drills or tips to try and help my under 8s from crowding the ball carrier, We are finding that all of the team huddle around the ball carrier at Starts / Restarts. I dont want to keep stopping play to tell them that huddling around the ball carrier is not creating the space they need as i sound like a broken record.Any suggestions very welcome.Cheers
