Rugby Drill Demonstration
|
Description
- This is a simple passing exercise that can be used as a warm up to improve players reaction time and catching skills
- 6 players and 1 coach in a circle, and the coach holds a ball at all times
- With the other ball, the players throw to you and (using the ball you're holding) hit the ball back to a different player in the circle
- The players will not know who the ball will come to and so must react quickly to catch and then throw back to you to hit to someone else
- The shape of the ball means that even if you aim at someone, it could deflect to another player.
Coaching points
- Ensure that the players have knees bent, feet just over shoulder width apart
- Arms should be slightly in front of body, shoulder width apart, ready to catch
- Palms of hands should be open
- Follow the ball with their eyes at all times so as not to lose concentration.
Progression
- You could add an extra ball to have two balls going round the circle.
