Rugby: Passing Lines of 5

• Using just one hand they should pass the ball to each other.
• The pass should come from on, or behind the hip.
• They should make 10 passes on one hand, and then 10 passes on the opposite hand.
• That's it, lets get going - it's a race. 
• Any dropped balls - and your group has to start again.
• That's it, get working.

• Start out with a grid of 10 x 10
• Passing progressions are based  upon the ability of players to fix defenders - ensure the exercise reflects match situations
• Start with three groups of three or four, each on a corner of the square leaving one corner free
• Players need to come around the corner, bending their runs before straightening up before popping the ball off to the next group
• The ball needs to travel through hands of all the players in the group

Strong grip, thumbs are out, hold the ball high with fingers pointing to the sky.

Keeping your hips square pass the ball across your body, finishing with your hands nice and high - pointing to where you want the ball to go.

• Tell the players the following......

1. Runners move forward towards the cone opposite to their location.
2. There will be one ball carrier and one reciever in every set of runners, 3 sets of runners at any one time.
3. The ball carrier must make a legal pass to the player approaching, avoiding traffic.
4. That's it - lets get going.
