Rugby: Find The Space

Refresh your players' basics with this fun selection of core skill drills and mini-games

Up to 10 in a group. Each player should have a tag belt.

Each player partners up with someone and then stand side by side.

On the coach's call the players run to that sideline. If the coach calls 1 for example they have to run to the sideline before the 2s can catch them and take their belt.

Large Grid 30m x 30m. Start with 5 defenders in the middle, everybody else stands at one end of the grid wearing tags.

On the coach's call all attackers try to run past the 5 defenders and get to the opposite side of the grid.

Attackers that are tagged join the defenders in the middle, the game keeps going until there are no attackers left.

Players work in groups of 5 in a grid 10m x 10m, with 1 Ball per group.

4 Players work as a team to make 10 passes.

The defender tries to tag a player who is holding the ball.

Either rotate the defenders or if caught and then the tagged player becomes the next defender.

The leader with the ball can run in any direction. The rest of the group must follow like a snake. When the teacher calls Pass, the leader must stop, hold the ball out to the side so the next player can take the ball from their hands and continue running. The leader then joins the back of the group.
