There are 9 players on an under 9 team.

3 forwards and 6 backs.

Simon Do you select forwards & backs for each game, or just let the nearest 3 players form the scrum/lineout each time ? Steve

Using the nearest players works but maybe your players will need some time in the positions to be able to understand what is required of them?

The idea then could be to give 3 players the role of forwards for a half of a game and then change at half time.

Either method is fine and you can use both at different times of the season.
