Rugby: Bomb Kick

The box kick is a very dangerous tactic for attack and defense.

When attacking it can apply immense pressure on a team by putting the ball behind them. It also isolates the receiver making them vulnerable to turnover.

It can also be dangerous if not executed correctly as you can end up giving away possession.

Can be practiced with all players but specifically for the kickers of the team for start off kicking and tactical point scoring.

1 ball, cones to set up target zones etc.

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.

Fun game to practice passing/kicking accuracy.

Set up a grid with lots of different objects (tackle bags, hit shields, tyres, cones etc) inside.

Have four players on one side with a ball each (blue) and four players on the other side (red).

The blue players are aiming to pass or kick their ball onto one of the objects in the square, the red players are there to retrieve the balls and return them to the blue players.

Each team gets three attempts per player before swapping roles.

The team which collects the most items from the grid are the winners.

Progression - 

Large/medium items require more hits than others before they are removed (e.g. tackle bags need 3 hits, hit shields need 2 hits)

Vary the size of the grid

Each player only gets one attempt before the teams swap
