This is my first year coaching Rugby and I am really struggling, I am coaching the under 8's team. The problem is their passing and catching skills require a lot of work but it is extremely difficult to keep them focused enough to work on these for any period of time, I would be grateful if anybody could offer any suggestions.
Please look at the 6 stages of rugby tab up at the top of the page and also our "Drills" section as you will find lots of ideas there.
Don't despair as all of us have times when we struggle. Make the games you play fun and the children will respond by improving their skills without realising that they are practising them!

in more ways than one
Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
