Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
how do you side step properly
What are the main coaching points when introducing the drift defence? I'm talking mainly about senior players.
how do you stop a 15 breaking through
Not sure if this question has been asked...but is drift defence REALLY the BEST way to combat the fullback entering the line?
Does anyone have a really good drill to encourage backs to hold their steepness when attacking - my team of dreams are Under 11's
Does anyone have specific drills, practices for developing line speed and any progressions
what drill do i use to teach realigning to take a pass running from depth.
The law says that a forward pass is one "thrown forward" "in the direction of the opponents' goal line" Does that mean that, if the ball is passed and the receiver catches it NEARER to the opponents goal line than from where the ball was passed that the pass was forward? (Leaving to one side any other touches of the ball that might have taken place.) Maybe an example is better. Player 1 passes the ball sideways - releasing it on the 22 metre line. Player 2 (with no other player having touched the ball), running from well behind the 22 metre line, catches the ball when it has travelled sideways but the ball is now 20 metres from the opponents goal line (2 metres further forward from the place that the ball was passed). Is that a forward pass or throw forward? And if not, why not?
teahcing primary school kids and could use some drills
if i throw the ball forward and catch it before it touches any opponent or the ground is that a forward pass
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
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.
How can I improve my team's line speed in defence? Are there any drills which can help me?
Hi. I coach a B level under 12 team at school with very mixed abilities. I cant get my boys to get up in a defensive line together or even come up in defense. Any drill very much appreciated.
My team are new and are very slow on reforming the defensive line,any ideas on how to speed it up?
Hi my name is Mac and i am a 8 man and i struggle to push through a defensive line when i have the ball due to how my coaches make us practice so i wanted to know tips on how to push/break through a defensive line when i have the ball.
Doing level two and have forgotten what the above means........
