Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
just signed up to coaching under 6s,would like to hear what exercises / "drills" work best aside from making sure they all have a laugh?
Why is it important to get players to score the try when completing a handling/running drill?
What drills would anybody reccomend to encourage forward running in an u8s side,whilst keeping it fun?Some players tend to crab along the pitch.
What defence drills exist for tag rugby that are easy enough to explain to a 7 year old?
Looking for some drills or games to help my under 8s stay on side and not stand in the way during tag rugby.Any suggestions??
