Getting Low in the Tackle

DESCRIPTION

In groups of 5 tie a bit of tape or string around the two posts approximately 0.5 to 1 meter above the ground. Two players hold the sausages behind the tape on either side and one holds the bag in front of the tape. Change the man with the bag every few reps or hold the bag as the coach. The players will rotate around with each rep. 1 Full Repetition: The player starts on the ground, hits the bag with either shoulder and then powers past the bag. Player then gets into a low body position and moves under the tape to complete a tackle on the sausage. Next, they should get into a strong body position as if they were contesting at a ruck. They then pick up the sausage and the previous holder moves around.

Hi Maurits,

Here are some tips. You can try these HIIT drills with the ball for U10 rugby:

Shuttle Sprints with Ball â Sprint between cones carrying the ball, switch hands, 20s on/10s rest.

Passing Relay â Sprint and pass with a partner, advancing to the next cone, 30s on/15s rest.

Pick-Up and Pop â Pick up ground balls and pop pass in a zig-zag, 20s on/10s rest.

Tackle Bag and Offload â Tackle a bag, rise, and offload, 30s on/15s rest.

Key Tips: Keep rest short, maintain good technique, and encourage communication. These drills combine fitness with skill-building for effective, fun sessions.

I hope this helps,
