Rugby: Back Row Drill

Description

The player either starts lying on their front or must perform 10 squat thrusts as fast as possible before then jogging forwards towards the coach.

The coach will be positioned facing the runner and will signal with their arms as to whether the player should sprint left or right.

Coaching points

Look for fast reaction times.

Start in the press up position. Bring both feet up under chest into a tuck. The closer the feet move up the chest the better. Then return both feet back to the press up position. Keep hips low.
