Kick Chase

Description

Assemble two lines of cones approximately 10 metres apart. Line participants up along one line with a ball each. On the Coach's signal, participants must perform a kick e.g. ‘chip kick’, ‘grubber kick’, collect the ball, and score a try. Encourage participants to experiment with different kick types.

Equipment
  • 12 x cones
  • 1 x ball per participant

Coaching Outcome

Participants learn to perform different kick types and develop kick control and accuracy in this fun and challenging game.

Change It
  • Alter the distance between the two lines, with a shorter distance more challenging for participants.
  • Have participants perform multiple kicks e.g. a ‘chip kick’ then a ‘grubber kick’ before scoring a try.

Check for Understanding
  • What are the different types of kicks that we can do in Rugby?
  • Why do we use different types of kicks when playing Rugby?
  • Where should we be looking when kicking the ball?
