Either in 2 teams or as one long course, players must start by their bowl (hoop in centre of the table). They run around the loop and pick up a meatball. Depending on the theme of the session, they can either pass and catch with a coach to cook it, or they could bosh into the pad! They place the (now cooked) meatball into the bowl. You can either have a seperate team bringing in spaghetti (tags) from the kitchen, or the kids could go around the course and get a meatball first, then a handful of spaghetti.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
