Rugby: Stuck in the mud

Within a set playing area split your players into two groups - catchers and runners.

It's the catcher's job to tag as many runners as possible with the ball.

Once a runner has been tagged they are "stuck", and must stand in a T-shape, with their arms up. They cannot move until they are released by another runner.

If you are stuck, the other players can release you by touching you on the head or running under your outstretched arms and/or legs.

4 cones in a square area.

7 players.

2 players on cone A & B with 1 player (the worker) in between the cones, and 1 player each on cone C and D.

Players to pass the ball along the line as they move across the coned area.

Ball to be handed to the player waiting on the cone.

The drill is repeated going in the opposite direction, with the player in the middle (the worker) continuing in the drill.

Drill to be continuous and repeated 4 times, before the player in the middle (the worker) rotates with another player.

Start with 2 players on the centre cone, each with a ball, and facing each other.

1. On the shout "GO", they both run backwards to the first cone
2. They then side step up the grid to the second cone
3. Next players run through the slalom cones back to the start where the ball is passed to the next players
4. Next players can only go when each player has received a ball (to ensure each race is fair).

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