Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
My team is having trouble going past the ball when rucking. We are working on body heights and hitting past the ball but any suggested drills would be a great help.
please can you help with any drills to help with realignment (of backs) to attack? Thanks
develop the ability of your players to realign, to take pass running from depth
I have to coach a drift defence from a lineout and include decision making. Can anyone give any ideas of drills for adults and what are the key factors to work on? Thanks
Why is it important to get players to score the try when completing a handling/running drill?
I have started an under 10s team up, and I would say about 8 from the 13 children I have , did not play rugby until about 6 months ago. Of these players, there seems to be a lot of potential, as we are scoring tries against teams, that very rarely concede tries.the problem I got with them, is that we are very poor at organising our selves in defense when the opposition has the ball, which does result in us conceding quite a few tries. We have some very good tacklers in the team. Can anyone offer some ideas on how I can get them to organise themselves? Thanks . Chris.
Looking for a drill for adding defence pressure so utilising 3 defence 2attackers
I am looking for ideas on how my under 11s team can re organise after the breakdowns etc. they are a good bunch of players, but I am finding it difficult to get them to spread the field after breakdowns . I am wondering if there any drills here to do this? Thanks all
I am looking for a drill that focuses on this area for my Level 2 coaching qualification but I'm unsure on the definition.Does it refer to defending the side of a scrum/ruck and an attacker has come round close to the side?Or is it regarding a defender approaching an attacker at an angle rather than head on, in more of an open play situation?
My players often line-up too flat on attack, especially in later phases. How can I work on improving their depth?
For school assignment, i am teaching 12-13 year old girls rugby and need tackling drills
i am wondering i want some drill for defence and attacking
i want the key ponts of men to men drill
thers no drifting at all becuase the tackle bags dont move. the defnders are hitting the same bag at the same postion always. just becuase the last palyer loops round doesnt means the defences has drifted. i dont see how this drill is implemneted into a game senario. is your last defending man going to circle all the way to the start of the defending line? no drfit D whatsoever. unless you;re letting your team get ready to be set and make a hit theres no point in this drill being sewd for a 'Drift' defence.
Hey, what are good exercises / drills to exercise team dedense when you have only one team? thanks
drill for split circle defence

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.

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.
The hooker's brake foot moved from trial into full law in July 2026. Here is how to coach it so your front row stays stable, legal and safe.
Coaches from around the world look to Sportplan for coaching confidence.

I am so pleased with all of the drills and advice on rugby. I am a player for my local club and we don't have a coach at the moment so I, as a senior player, am filling that gap. With your help, the team has been able to improve our skills.
Your tips and session ideas have really brought some interest back to our rugby training. The players and I now really enjoy our training sessions.
Wow what a great website, I have found sportplan an important tool for me when planning my netball sessions with my netball team. There are alot of very helpful tips/ideas/skills that I can learn and teach to my team. Thank you sportplan I hope to continue to use your helpful tips and to learn more about improving my teams netball skills. Thanks again....keep it up....
I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
