Rugby League: Team Kicking (Grubber kick)

One player starts with ball and runs to first cone, where he kicks the ball across to the other cone.

The other player must time his run to collect the ball.

He should be collecting the ball as near to full pace as he can.

Either a grubber or a chip kick can be used.

With a chip kick, the receiving player should try to catch the ball on the full.

Attacking team starts with a ball.

Aim of the game is for the attacking team to reach the opposite try line by either using a chip or grubber kick to penetrate the defensive line.

The aim of the defence is to advance in a tight defensive line and prevent the attacking team from scoring.

Number of players: 5 working with 1 ball.

Markers: 4

Grid size: 20x20

Practice grubber kick and punt.

4 players on each corner of the grid kick the ball to each other. Player in the middle attempts to intercept the ball. If kick is intercepted kicker becomes the chaser.

One team starts in the middle of the grid along the line. The idea of the game is to kick the ball over the middle team and try to land the ball in the oppositions area. If the ball is caught then no points are scored, if the ball bounces in the oppositions area then 1 point is scored.

If one of the players in the middle catches the ball (they gain 1 point) then they swap positions with the team that kicked the ball.
