It is a very good idea to plan ahead. I can offer this pre season training plan I put together a few years ago which outlines what needed to be practised in the off season and you may find it helpful:
Core skills to be covered:
Individual Skills
- Handling Contact and ball retention
- Support/offloading in a tackle
- Tackling
Unit Skills Scrum:
- Organisation,
- Calling structure,
- Engagement sequence
- Binding,
- feet position, etc. etc
Lineout:
- Basic calling structure,
- 2 offensive options
- 1 defensive option
- Organise how to contest the opposition ball
Ruck:
- Clearing players at the ruck/tackle
- Setting up ruck ball
Maul:
- Organise a maul, mainly from a lineout
- Defending a maul
Back Row moves:
- 3 defensive
- 3 offensive
Kick off receptions/options
- Shallow 22
Deep Strike moves:
- No more than 5 effective strike moves by first game
Kicking options:
- Organise a defensive kicking option either from 1st or 2nd phase
I hope this helps and perhaps other coaches may have some ideas to offer?
