Ball Familiarisation

Description

Participants spread out within a grid with a ball each and begin to move around.

Responding to the Coach’s signal, participants perform different skills and movements that incorporate a Rugby ball including place and pick up, passing in any direction to another participant, scoring a try, and pop passing.

Equipment
  • 9 x cones
  • 1 x ball per participant

Coaching Outcome

Participants develop ball familiarity and control in this self-paced skill game.

Change It
  • Incorporate more dynamic Rugby skills and movements e.g. 'prawn position‘.
  • Alter the size of the grid so that participants develop their evasion and agility skills.

Check for Understanding
  • What different skills did we practice in the activity?
  • How can these skills help us when playing Rugby?
  • How can we make sure that we do not run into other players?
