Rugby: SH Passing Reps

• The passer passes the first ball, from the ground, to the catcher, who sets the ball down.
• the passer then run around the first cone to the second set of balls, passing the next ball from the ground to the catcher.
• They then repeat this until all of the ball are passed.
• The catcher can time the exercise, and rate the accuracy and distance of each pass.
• The catcher and passer switch roles at the end of the exercise, and all balls are reset.

• The first group of 4 starts at the top of the grid, moving forward. The ball should be with the outside player, who makes a short pass in to his supporting runner, who then makes a long pass to the next receiver in the other short passing box, they will then make a short pass to the last receiver. The players realign and do the same again in the opposite direction.
• When they get to the end of the grid, they go around the cones to their starting position, while the next group goes.
• They should change position in the line, and when ready, they start again.

• One of your players will be the passer, and the other the catcher.
• The passer goes to one of the circles that has ball and the catcher goes to the empty circle.
• Using a pass from the deck, the passer passes the ball from each cone to the catcher, who sets the ball at a cone.
• Once the passer has finished one circle, they move to the next, and the catcher moves to the empty circle.
• The speed of this activity should build as the players get better.
• Don't forget to change the passer and catcher.
