Rugby: Collecting and Catching Difficult Balls

Early catch, look, perfect pass. Improve your players' passing precision and speed to play with a free flowing attack.

• Groups 9+ 
• Ball
• Cones

This could be perfect fro a warm up drill. 

Player with the ball runs to first cone and performs a pull back pass to the second receiver then onto the 3rd.

When the ball reaches the third the 3rd reciver runs to the cone and performs a pull back pass back inside the the 2nd reciver in the next line. 

This is continuus and should be short and fast pase.

• This drill is designed to work on the loop; on of the simplest and most effective ways to create your own overlap/space out wide
• Start with three attackers and three defenders using tackle bags in front of them.

• Attacker 1 passes to attacker 2 and begins to loop around.
• Player 1 should then receive the ball back and his next aim is to fix the third defender.
• Attacker three should make his way out to the edge where the space has been created.
• Attacker 1 then passes to attacker 3 who has space to get around the defence.
• Using this drill will develop your players handling under pressure and their attacking vision and ability to create space

• 4 + groups 
• Balls 

All players have a ball, start by passing the ball once left then twice right, then 3 times left etc. 

if the ball goes down you start again. 

Winning team is the team who competes the most amount of passes without the ball going down. 

Set up a channel with two sets of defenders working in pairs inside.

Three attacking players start with the ball and run around the far cone, realigning as they run around the cone. Players then play out the 3v2.

After this first 3v2 the attackers must move the ball quickly and play out the second 3v2.
