Rugby: Right Angled Passing Drill

Have 8-10 players standing in a line with a scrum half at the end a few metres in front.

Scrum half passes the ball to a player. Passing down the line for 4-6 passes and moving forward until the ball reaches the end of the line. Not every player has to touch the ball.

Then the person at the end passes a long ball back to scrum half, and they turn and do the same in the other direction.

1) Run out to a cone - round cone back to the team

2) Run out to a different cone but back to your own team.

3) Dribble ball with your feet up to the line - dive on ball - pick up ball and run back.

4 players start together on their stomachs next to each other.

1. As the coach calls a colour cone, they move into position quickly.
2. Once in position the first player with ball in hand approached the gates set out with the agility poles. The 4 players proceed to run straight through the gate and pass etc.
3. Once the player has ran through his gate, and passed the ball, he needs to start supporting the ball, and again the 4 players pass to one another, but now their positioning is much wider than the previous positioning.

• Tell your players the following.....
• The first player runs out with the ball to the first set of cones and passes the ball to the second player.
• The second player then runs out to the next set of cones and passes the ball to the third player, who runs out to the next set of cones.
• In the last area of cones, the ball has to be passed quickly amongst all the players.
