Restart kicks are now the most common set-piece in rugby and the easiest to lose. Treat them like a lineout: prepare options, drill the catch, and own the reception.
World Rugby has dropped the legal tackle height to the base of the sternum for the 2026 U20 Championship in Georgia. Here is what the trial means for coaches at every level.
Kicking is up across the Six Nations and Champions Cup, which means counter-attack opportunities are up too. Learn how to turn a loose kick into seven points.
1. Drills teach technique not decision making
Drills can only teach children the proper techniques for skills
such as kicking, catching, passing etc. Drills can not develop
the ability to make the right decision in a game – when
to kick and where to pass. A coach, who prepares the squad
through sessions filled with drills, is only working at one
part of the game.
2.
Encourage Team Play
A difficult job for any coach is to coach young players the
need to modify their individual styles for the good of the
team.
Conditions and limits, must be set for players to experience
good teamwork. Try limiting the time that each player can
have running with the ball. After time you will see how team-mates
learn to make themselves available for passes and support
the player on the ball. The ball carrier will also learn to
look up and scan for support in order to make the right decision.
