Is there a week by week coaching plan for the U7s? Itâs my first time coaching and need some advice and plans. Where do I start? What do I do every week to get them ready for the season

Hi Liz,
When starting out with under-7`s, it`s important to understand that it is difficult to keep youngsters in overly-structured positions and games.
You want to be encouraging them to recognise the benefits of the general skills. Evasive skills and early handling techniques are vital, therefore, starting with agility drills like `Ball Tag` in a warm-up will let them understand the movements to not get tackled.
Next, try playing games like 5v5 tag rugby attached below. This drill will encourage the youngsters to realise that they need to run forwards with the ball. It will also improve their handling skills, encouraging them to pass quickly after they`ve been tagged to help understand the value of accurate passing and quick hand as their game develops.
This will also give them some awareness of other around them which is obviously a vital skill to have as they develop.
Continue working these areas and keep them interested with short, fun practices.
There are multiple sessions on Sportplan Rugby to help!
I hope this gives you some ideas!
