switch pass in rugby union
looking for the best drills to help a flyhalf move to scrumhalf the lad has pass a good pass and a sharp brain just some fine tuning needed and ideas please
Every scrum coach in the Uk will have kids passing the ball straight off the floor with no pull back, then when you watch the Lions play - the two scrum halves of Phillips and Ellis both lift the ball up and take a step before passing, as do most scrum halves in top flight rugby...(in Phillips case a double step shuffle!......why is this, there must be a reason? should we all be coaching kids to do the same ?
How can I teach 8 year old boys to spin pass
Flanker protecting the Scrum Half? How can a Flanker protect the Scrum-Half at a scrum without holding on to the oppositions Scrum Half? Also any advice for an Openside flanker on tackling the fly-half from scrums?
I am looking for drills / ideas on how to teach U6/U7 about how to stay "onside" during a game.
How do i get more zip in my backline attack. At 16s level players seem to just go through the motions.
What could you teach a player cues for the halfback pass,(passing from the ground)?
My number 10 has a habit of running across on first phase ball thus our backs lack any go foward ball most times. Any ideas how we can remedy this habit will be a great help.
Any tips / drills as to what rest of team can do to support so No 8 doesn't charge ahead and get isolated.
As well as coaching U10 rugby, I also get to referee U10 games, under the New Rules Of Play. I feel that my refereeing of the ruck isn't as good as it could/should be. Has anyone got an easy to follow system to help them referee U10 rucks ?
Under the new U9's rules can they run with a loose ball after picking a ball up off the floor? Or do they have to pass to another player every time the ball goes to ground?
I think a pass has to be made from the back of a maul or ruck but I am not clear about the rules at the scrum .
At under 10s I was under the impression that it is 1v1 tackling. Can someone clarify the laws on this please?
We coach U9s and one of the biggest problems is that they all swarm around the ball like bees around honey. We are repeatedly trying to explain the value of not doing this and use of space but to no avail. What coaching techniques can we introduce to get the kids to spread out and not all commit to the breakdown?
I'm just after a little clarification regarding the current U13s rule changes as several teams we have played this season have different interpretations:0Can the scrum half scoot straight from the base of the scrum?Can 1st receiver on a free pass run with the ball once he's received it?What are rules around the movement of a scrum?I think we've got the rules right, i'd just like some confirmation.ANdrew

are scrum halves allowed to kick from the scrum in U13s rugby, or do they have to pass/run?
