Switch Pass

Your tips and session ideas have really brought some interest back...
Eifion, 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
