Ball carriers to each have a ball to emphasise handling skills in the tackle.

Coaching points

Ensure tackles are made at waist height or below to replicate mini rugby law variations
Ensure players have an equal opportunity to tackle and be tackled. Ensure players are aware of the
definition of a tackle _ Law 15. A tackle occurs when the ball carrier is held by one or more
opponents and is brought to ground. A ball carrier who is not held is not a tackled player and a
tackle has not taken place. Opposition players who hold the ball carrier and bring that player to
ground, and who also go to ground, are known as tacklers. Opposition players who hold the ball
carrier and do not go to ground are not tacklers.
