High school rugby in the USA
I am teaching a PE class basics of rugby and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on sequencing, I have them for 5 days and only 50 minutes per day. I was going to start with basic rules and ball handling and back lines, then rucking, then scrums, tackling (these kids love full contact), then on the last day hopefully play either sevens or unopposed. I am hoping to eventually start a club or team at this school. Suggestions?

Why not look at the 6 stages of rugby on the tab at the top of this site? It helps with progression through to the 15 a side game but with a limited amount of time you could adapt the schedule to suit your needs.
Tag rugby is also a great way to introduce rugby - you can find more info on tag rugby by looking at numerous sites on the web.
I hope this helps you and wish you good luck,
