!!RUN FORREST RUN!!

DESCRIPTION

RUN FORREST RUN: A great game to use with players whom are new to rugby and haven't been exposed to the principles of rugby that much (ie go forward, contest possession, support, continuity and pressure), this game zone focuses on all of these.

COACHING POINTS

• As you can see the pitch is marked out using different coloured cones (these can be useful for younger players whom do not yet understand the different lines on the pitch). The aim of the game is to go forward and score points. (Touch or contact depending on age groups and your aims etc).
• One team will start with the ball in their own and they must get out and past the half way line (1 point), when they cross the 10 metre line it's an extra 2 points (3 in total so far), then they attempt to cross the 22m line its 3 points (6 so far), then the 5 metre line is worth 4 points (10 points) and a try is 5 points so they can earn a total of 15 points just from going forward with the ball and scoring.
• Extra scoring zones can be implemented such as under the posts is an extra 2 or out wide etc...
• It's a normal game, if the ball is intercepted/dropped etc its a turnover and that team plays with the ball, it's up to the team how they score points BUT kicking the ball as far as you can will not earn you points unless it is caught on the full!!! PLUS, if the opposition catches the ball on the full then they are awarded points!!!

THE KEY MESSAGE IS YOU CAN EARN POINTS JUST BY GOING FORWARD
