Does anyone have drills for Line Outs at U12?
Hi, I have an enquiry about the post lineout rules. A lineout jumper successfully catches the ball, returns to the ground and precceds to maul. The defending team has three options to put (1)leverage against with defending maul, to (2) attack the main front men of the maul but also I heard on this weekends commentary there is a (3)dragging down. When the lineout jumper is returning to the ground it seems the defending team can hold the jumper as long as no pressure is excerted and when they hit the floor the defending team can tackle him (drag him to the ground) stopping the maul. Is this right and if so are there further rules governing this that i cannot yet find? I have read the IRB 2009 laws but still i have no answer. Many Thanks

Has anyone got any drills for defending a driving lineout
someone once said that my team had a "line out" very bad, and I want to give me ideas on how to improve it, make plays and surprise that are new for the other team, thanks
In under 9s the line-out is uncontested... can the player receiving the ball simply turn and run straight through the opposition's line or does he have to pass the ball / set up a maul ?
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.
We've just started U10 contested line-outs - can the jumpers move before the ball is thrown (between 2 and 7m obviously)? Continuum doesn't mention not moving but one of our coaches insists they should be static.
when a team throws the ball into the line out and the receiver catches it and the lifters start moving with the jumper in the air is their any foul committed. if not can they be tackled,is the lineout over when they move,

As a club (Ontario, Canada) we face an issue with "player retention" from our U16 Provincial Champions to our U18's and from there to the Senior age grade. We appreciate the pressure our young players face (career, girls, leaving home, etc.). Have any other clubs found a way to "keep players in the fold" by supporting them in "off the field" matters? Any advice?
How can I improve my team's line speed in defence? Are there any drills which can help me?
