Rugby: How to talk to juniors

Description

Don't stand up, instead take a knee and talk to players at their level.

Coaching points

Be clear, communicate your values and be sure to listen.

Try to ask and not tell. Children are here to have fun and learn, not to be lectured!

Be patient. Young children are only able to handle small chunks of information so break information down into bitesize chunks and be prepared to repeat and recap often.
