Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
I'm about to begin coaching forwards at the college level, any drills, conditioning, tips, or any suggestions from my more experienced ruggers will be greatly appreciated
What would be the likely outcome of a scrum fed from the thrower's tighthead side? Who would more likely win possession and what quality of possession could be expected? What if the law was that most scrums were required to be fed from the thrower's tighthead with the non offender determining who was to feed? The remainder, such as penalty scrums, would stay as is. Could this encourage a more constructive approach to scrummaging?
how do i stop my front row collapsing under pressure
What are the main attributes of a good tighthead prop , also how do i coach correct tighthead technique
any one know drills for defending a attack from scrum in midfield?
My props (and I ) lack front row experience
Hi, I'm required to coach the tight 5 to right wheel a scrum - yes, it's for an exam. I have researched it - including talking to forwards - and all of the sparse info out there describes unlawful techniques. I can make a stab at almost anything apart from this 'black art' as I have no references to use. Help!
I have just started helping our head coach with under12's team. He wants to retire and has put me forward to be head coach next season. I am a little worried on how i should aproach training with the boys, going to a full 15 a side team on a full pitch. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
an RFU directive states that coaches should not hold pads/shields for juniors to run into during sessions, or even juniors holding pads for each other!!! I notice a lot of drills utilise pads as this was something we always used when I trained years ago! I personally think they are a good thing (especially since some of the juniors I coach are 'not small'!) BUT wondered what the general thoughts were out there in SportPlan world....
how do u play a smaller pack against bigger opposition? especially at scrum time. Thanks
My coach has put me at openside flanker and I'm confused of where i should be after the scrum. Should I be attacking the opposing scrum half or just trailing behind the backs waiting to clean up/ form a ruck? It would be great to know what I'm doing !

heymy name is kyle, im 18 from canada and im considering purchasing a scrum cap. ive locked for my school in grade 9 (4 years ago) but then our school quit its rugby program for guys so now im proping for my club team this year. back in grade 9, when anyone who wore scrum caps were considered "wussies" so everyone tackled them as much as they could but now that i play club rugby, i notice that almost everyone that has anything to do with the front 5 positions wears scrummy caps. i was wondering if there is anything "wussy" about scrummy caps? why do people wear them? (i mean, if almost everyone in the front 5 wears them, then i probably should too right?) also...do you have any recommendations for brand? barbarian, ccc...etcany feedback on this would be great. thankscheerskyle- submitted by email
When a scrum is awarded following an unsuccessful end to a maul, which team throws the ball in?
Is it legal for a flanker to unbind and pick up the ball from a scrum if the ball comes to his channel?
I think a pass has to be made from the back of a maul or ruck but I am not clear about the rules at the scrum .
Does anyone have drawings for a SCRUM MACHINE. I've started a club in Chengdu,China. Too expensive to import. Thinking of getting one made. Need prints for a simple machine
I'm a new player trying to learn to play Scrum half. I have a general idea of how the game works having played back positions a few times. However, I'm confused about one thing (and this might be dumb but bear with me). The thing is, I'm pretty quick. I can usually make it to a ruck before the forwards have fully formed it. When this happens I don't really have a good sense of where to stand in order ot have good access to the ball but also avoid blocking other forwards coming in to ruck. Usually I've already surveyed the field (to my newbie abilities anyway) and made a decision as to what I want to do with the ball, yelled the call on my way to the ruck, etc, so that puts me in a mindset that I REALLY want to be close to the ball so I can make it happen. Should I just keep my distance instead until the ruck is fully formed? Where specifically should I be standing and how quickly should I get there? Thanks!
are scrum halves allowed to kick from the scrum in U13s rugby, or do they have to pass/run?
looking for plans to have a welding shop build us a scrum machine, simply do not have the $6000-10000 these companies are asking for! cheers

I am so pleased with all of the drills and advice on rugby. I am a player for my local club and we don't have a coach at the moment so I, as a senior player, am filling that gap. With your help, the team has been able to improve our skills.
Your tips and session ideas have really brought some interest back to our rugby training. The players and I now really enjoy our training sessions.
Wow what a great website, I have found sportplan an important tool for me when planning my netball sessions with my netball team. There are alot of very helpful tips/ideas/skills that I can learn and teach to my team. Thank you sportplan I hope to continue to use your helpful tips and to learn more about improving my teams netball skills. Thanks again....keep it up....
I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
