Important Principles for Coaching Junior Rugby
The importance of playing games when coaching kids
Kids love to run and play games and it is for this exact reason fun games should be included in Mini Ruggas practices. If you over structure and get too serious about the kids session you will loose the most important tool you have at these minis’ sessions, THEIR CONCENTRATION!
Ball Handling Relays
Players line up with ball in hand. On the coaches command they run out 10m, dot the ball on the ground using good leg bend, turn and run back to the start position correctly feeding the ball into the next runners “bread basket”.
Attack vs Defence Double Grid
Two grids with an attacker in the middle of the grid with a ball. The coach stands in the middle and signals when the attacking players must begin. A few meters before the attacking player reach the coach; the coach calls “left” or “ right” and the attacking player must step into the space and beat the “popping up” defender in a 2v1.
