Switch Pass

What a fantastic tool. I've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...
Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Two players line up, with ball in the right side players hands.  They both start running with the non-ball carrier at 5mx45-degree angle from the ball carrier.  After 5-10m the ball carrier sharply cuts left while the non-ball carrier cuts right behind the ball carrier. 

After the cut is made the ball carrier pop passes the ball to the other player, creating a "switch pass" or "scissor pass".  Both players then return to a straight line up and down the field, essentially switching lanes.

After 5-10m the same move is excuted by the opposite player.

COACHING POINTS

  • start non-ball carrier in depth (5m behind ball carrier)
  • ensure a pop pass is made, not a hard pass
  • ensure pop pass is in front of moving player, not where moving player is at
