Rugby: Switch Back Flick

Description

• The ball carrier advances, running diagonally across the grid with the player on the other cone doing the same, but with a delay.
• The ball carrier can then switch or back flick the ball to the supporting runner.
• The supporting runner passes the ball back to the nearest player waiting from the next group, when they get the ball, they go.
• That's it, play.

Coaching points

• Ball carrier carries the ball in two hands.
• Supporting players time their run.
• Communication needs to be good between the ball carrier and supporting player.
• Ball carried should experiment with their pass, and not be afraid to cancel.
• Flicks should have air time.
• Support players should hit the ball at pace.
