Rugby: Team Kicking Game

Bring back fun to your training! Teach your U10-U14s to kick intelligently from the hand. With fun games that work on your players' grubber, punt and box kicking ability.

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.

One player from each team goes to the oppositions end and starts in the end zone.

The aim of the game is for each team to kick a grubber kick through to their team mate the other end of the grid in the end zone. When a ball gets through to a player in the end zone the player that kicks the ball goes to join them.

The winner is the first team to get all their players in the end zone.

5 players working with 1 ball in a grid 20 by 20 meters, working on their grubber kicks and punts.

One player stands on each corner of the grid. Players must kick the ball to each other whilst the player in the middle attempts to intercept the ball.

If the kick is intercepted the kicker becomes the chaser.

The player with the ball runs forward and chip kicks the ball on for their team mate to come from an on side position and recovers the ball, taking it at pace.

The player then runs on and hands the ball off the player in the next group.

The next group repeats the drill.
