Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Ask the children to squat down low and make a light ball. Emphasise head and elbows in / arms pulling tightly around the knees. Choose some children to demonstrate.

Ask is there another way you can curl up in a ball ?. Next, ask the children to stretch up as high as possible - emphasise strong bodies / stretched fingers and feet, reach for the roof ?

COACHING POINTS

Children who find it hard to curl up should be encouraged to get as close to the floor as comfortable.

Ask the children to demo how the different body parts can be changed on the floor when they are curled up - e.g. Back Side, knees, shoulders and bottom.
