Rugby League: Loop Pass

Description

The ball carrier (A) runs straight in a line and makes a normal lateral pass to the supporting player (B)

After passing the ball A runs towards and behind B

After B catches the pass they angle their run towards the direction the pass has come from and so create space

A runs around B and straightens as they receive the pass

Coaching points
