how do i coach @hit and spin@ incontact in rugby union
Every scrum coach in the Uk will have kids passing the ball straight off the floor with no pull back, then when you watch the Lions play - the two scrum halves of Phillips and Ellis both lift the ball up and take a step before passing, as do most scrum halves in top flight rugby...(in Phillips case a double step shuffle!......why is this, there must be a reason? should we all be coaching kids to do the same ?

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 looking for drills / ideas on how to teach U6/U7 about how to stay "onside" during a game.
What could you teach a player cues for the halfback pass,(passing from the ground)?
What's the best to get my team to hit the gain line at full pace? It is a huge problem to get it into there noggin's
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?
if i throw the ball forward and catch it before it touches any opponent or the ground is that a forward pass
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.
Tomorrow i am going for rugby trials and i wanna play flyhalf. What do i have to do to get the position
