Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
how do i coach a backline defence against the opponents attack from a midfield scrum ?
I need some drills to improve a centre's hand speed in tight situations as well as some backline moves that i can use off a lineout where there is a cut back move as well as a wide move.
Hi, I'm looking for a quick game where I can get my players to realign quickly to take a pass running from depth. Any ideas? Thanks, Clemmo

I am looking for some drills and moves to coach a counter offensive against a rushed defence or a blitzing defence. I've had ideas of short kicks over the top.
My sons plays for the U9 team, his position is number ten, he was put there due to his kicking power, drop kicking accuracy, etc - I have been teaching him over time to tackle this has helped him build his confidence - what I have been noticing is the fact that when he gets the ball, he wont run - he just refuses to do anything with it...I need to find a way to encourage him the move forward with it, but nothing ever happens, now his own team mates are starting to look down at him, since he has giving the game away far to many time. Help!
Getting quite frustrated that my u10's are not using the space on the pitch and tend to bunch up. Despite various drills and game scenarios to force them to spread out and pass to someone in space they revert in any game to bunching up around the ball and taking it back into the thick of the opposition rather than looking left or right! Any ideas how to change their ways?
can anyoune suggest some line out moves for under 12s?
