Rugby: Stuck In The Mud - Rugby Style

Great site and excellent drills. Easy to understand and apply in training....
Tyrone, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

The 'Hunters' run after the 'Runners', trying to touch them with the rugby ball. If a 'Runner' is touched, then they are 'Stuck in the mud!' and can only be released when one of their team-mates, who is not stuck, crawls between their legs without themselves getting touched with the rugby ball.

COACHING POINTS

  • Players should carry the rugby ball in both hands, and when the game starts - the ball cannot be passed or thrown. 
  • Encourage players to communicate with each other, calling for support and help when they need it.
  • You could make the game harder by increasing the number of 'Hunters' or reducing the size of the grid.
  • You could make the game easier for the 'Runners' by increasing the size of the grid.
  • A passing progression for this game is to have a number of 'Hunters', but only allow one of them to have a ball. The 'Hunters' can now pass the ball, and must work out the best way to use passing to stop 'Runners'.
