Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
what should the team layout be for under 9s should it be 4 forwards 5 backs and should we play like 7s
In 7's rugby, what is the best way to bind in the scrum? Is it the same at 15's, I've seen props bind onto one another then the hooker sits in the middle but slightly back from the props. What is the advantage of doing this?
I enjoyed the coaching guide created for 15s that contained practice schedules and progressive training... is there one available for 7s team training as well?
I have taken on an under 7s team - any ideas of what I could do in the first session with kids whose first time it is with a rugby ball?
i currently help out with the coaching of the u7+u8 tag rugby but we are struggling to keep a defensive line can have anybody got any drills
How can I overcome my son's fear of tackling. He's 10 and shaping up to be a useful player in other areas but is very reluctant to engage other players in contact. What drills might help overcome this?
Is sealing the ball at the tackle and ruck legal again?
I want to start taking stats and analysis for my team. Does anyone use or know where I can find a Stats templte sheet for quick notes during game. From 1st phase play to detailed stats for phases. For example. Who took ball inruck? Won or lost? number of players commited to ruck.what happened aft? How quick the ball came out...ext ext. Hope someone can help or advise. Shaun
How can I stop the kids bunching in tag rugby games ?
What would be the likely outcome of a scrum fed from the thrower's tighthead side? Who would more likely win possession and what quality of possession could be expected? What if the law was that most scrums were required to be fed from the thrower's tighthead with the non offender determining who was to feed? The remainder, such as penalty scrums, would stay as is. Could this encourage a more constructive approach to scrummaging?
what are the positions of the non throwing scrumhalf in a scrum under the new laws(ELVs)?
Beep test - suggested levels of achievement. I coach at level 7 in England am looking for any data on the average level in beep test that should be achieved by different positions (e.g front row, back row, backs). Does anyone have any data or suggestions?
