Rugby: Jog - Lock and Load

Great site and excellent drills. Easy to understand and apply in training....
Tyrone, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Tell your players the following:

  1. Using just one hand they should pass the ball to each other, spinning the ball.
  2. They will continue down the grid until reaching the end before turning back and doing the same with the opposite passing hand.
  3. They can use two hands to catch.
  4. They should be jogging.
  5. That's it, get working.
  • Refer to the coaching points in order to help your players improve. This drill is about helping players understand and develop their spin pass, while improving the quality of their pass. It should be using in conjunction with other training exercises to develop the spin pass.
