Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
What is the current thinking regarding kickoff receiving alignment?
I need a defence pattern for my under 15 boys team... could you please draw out a defensive pattern for the boys to play by this friday
how do i coach a backline defence against the opponents attack from a midfield scrum ?
What are the main coaching points when introducing the drift defence? I'm talking mainly about senior players.
Does anyone have a really good drill to encourage backs to hold their steepness when attacking - my team of dreams are Under 11's
I am trying to explain to my Under 12 forwards where they should run to after a breakdown. Inevitably the committed lads end up running from ruck to ruck without getting there hands on the ball. How do you coach positioning? When to hang in the back line, when to cover wide, when to set up a chain play? Traditional unopposed has the forwards going thru ruck after ruck when the backs have broken the play down but how do you explain positioning to the big men?
If you only had 30 minutes to work with your backs a week what would you do???
any one know drills for defending a attack from scrum in midfield?
Hi guys Iâm helping coaching the local rugby union team and Iâm receiving a mixed opinions from the coaches about the pre-game warm-up. Any suggestions? Thanks
Outside centre attacking game .. how do get a player to make this position his own?
I am a coach with an under 10 rugby side. Last season the team found it hard to stay in their positions (acting like a swarm of bees). Can anyone suggest how i can get them to stay in positions, particulary our backs.
What options are there for positional play in the U9s game? What formations are recommended in attack or defence? What's a good place to start teaching this? No scrums at this level so that's out of the question. Greatful for any advice. Thank you. Matt Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

How can i improve my skills on the field as a flyhalf
Hey guys,My under 10s side (u9 last year) was really lacking defence and I worked extremely hard with them to start loving the contact and defending as a team. so much that this year their defence is really good but they've falling behind in being able to attack. I started loosely having them play set positions I.e forwards and backs so the forwards pump the hit ups and backs try to spread the ball. it works well in training and they seem to get it but it goes out the window during games.Sundays game was 0-0 for 30mins with the other team slipping in for one try. mind you this same team beat us 52-0 last year.how can I help them start getting points on the board? cheers
I have started an under 10s team up, and I would say about 8 from the 13 children I have , did not play rugby until about 6 months ago. Of these players, there seems to be a lot of potential, as we are scoring tries against teams, that very rarely concede tries.the problem I got with them, is that we are very poor at organising our selves in defense when the opposition has the ball, which does result in us conceding quite a few tries. We have some very good tacklers in the team. Can anyone offer some ideas on how I can get them to organise themselves? Thanks . Chris.
