Rugby: Fast Hands

Tell your players the following......

1. There will be one runner.
2. 1 player, static, on each cone. 4 players on the cones in total.
3. There will also be two players in defence, they will have a tackle/ruck pad each.
4. The defenders will be 3 meters in from the start of the grid, the second defender 7 meters behind the first.
5. The defenders can move left and right, but not backward and forward.
6. There will be a ball on the first left cone, and on the second right cone.
7. The player at the first cone with the ball will pass the ball to the runner, who avoids the defender and passes the ball to the reciever on the opposite first cone.
8. The runner then catches the second ball, passed by the player on the second cones. The runner passes the ball to the opposite reciever, avoid contact with the defender.
9. The runner then turns and does the same again - the defender steps back a bit.

• Don't forget to change the defenders, proving all players will the chance to attack.

• 8+ players 
• Ball 

• Players stand at equal distance away at differnt points along the grid.
• One working player runs in the middle of the channel. 
• The players on the outside pass the ball into the running player.
• The Working player must complete 2 sets of passing - 1 run off each hand. 

1. 4 players stand on the middle cones in the grid, avoiding the corner cones. The 2 players at the top and the bottom of the grid will have a ball. The players on the sides of the grid will have one ball between them.
2. The 5th player will be the ball carrier.
3. The ball carrier starts at the top of the grid facing the bottom. Moving forward they will take a pass off one of the middle players and pass the ball onto the other middle player. They will then collect a pass off the player in front of them, before popping the ball back to them. They will then turn and once again collect a pass off one of the middle players before moving it on to the other middle player. They then take a pass off the top player before popping it back and starting the exercise again.
4. They keep going until told to switch with another player.
5. The player in the middle can turn and flick the ball to the static players at the top and bottom of the grid, as well as popping the ball.

Lets get the ball and the players moving with lateral passing through the hands. Each training area only needs one ball, and that ball should start with the any of the two players at the very ends of the L.

• Tell players to move forward, passing the ball down the line. When the ball gets to the last receiver, that player will pass it to the first receiver in the next line that is waiting to go.
• They should advance right away. Allow the players to simply move the ball down the line.
