Suggested time allocation:

  • 5 minutes

How to play: 

  • 10 players per channel, starting with 3 nominated defenders in a line in the middle of the channel
  • The other 7 players line up along one edge of the channel as attackers
  • On the coach’s call, the attackers try to run past the defenders to reach the opposite edge of the channel
  • The defenders attempt to touch with both hands, tag or tackle the attackers by wrapping them with both arms between his/her chest and hips but without bringing the ball carrier to ground
  • Those attackers who are tackled join the defenders and, on the call of the coach or teacher, the remaining attackers try to run back to where they started
  • Continue until there are only a few, or no, attackers left                       

Coaching points

For the defenders:

  • Create continuity
  • Apply pressure
  • Score points

Equipment needed:

  • 3 Rugby balls
  • 8 cones

Space needed:

  • 3 channels
  • 30 meters x 20 meters

Suggested time allocation:

  • 12 minutes

How to play: 

In Rugby, when a tackled player falls to the ground, a supporting player can come in and help prevent the defenders from taking the ball by standing over the tackled player. If there are 3 players involved – 2 attackers and 1 defender - it is called a ‘ruck’.

  • Split the 10 players in each channel into two teams- 4 players to defend, 6 players to attack
  • Start the game with a free pass at the center, ensuring that the defending team retreats 7 meters
  • The attacking players must try to run past the defenders to score a try
  • If 2-hands-touched / tagged / tackled, the ball carrier must not pass but must hold the ball and slide onto the ground. The ball carrier should lie parallel to the try line with the ball held at arms length away from his/her body towards his/her team mates. Another attacking player must come in and stand over the tackled player to prevent the defenders picking the ball up
  • The tackler holds the ball carrier until the next attacking player takes the ball. The tackler only holds the ball carrier – he/she does not wrestle
    or turn the ball carrier
  • After a successful tackle, the defender must stay on his/her own side of the ball (stay onside) and must not attempt to intercept or obstruct the pass
  • When a tackle is made, the defending team must retreat 7 meters. Only the tackler can remain with the ball carrier

Coaching points

For the attackers:

  •  Run forward
  • Dodge the defenders
  • When tackled, slide down to the ground and lie flat with the ball held toward steam mates
  • Keep the body between the defenders and the ball
  • The second attacker must stand in a crouched position over the tackled player to protect the ball

For the defenders:

  • Keep the head up - focus on the waist of the ball carrier
  • After making the tackle, stay on the feet if possible and allow the second attacker to stand over the tackled player. The defender can hold on to the second attacker

Difficulty

Harder (for the attackers):

  •  Tacklers can try to take the ball once it is placed on the ground

Easier (the attackers):

  • All defenders, apart from the tackler, have to retreat 7 meters when a tackle is made

Ruck & Maul Touch Rugby - 6 v 4

  • Create continuity
  • Apply pressure
  • Score points

Equipment needed:

  • 3 Rugby balls
  • 8 cones

Space needed:

  • 3 channels
  • 30 meters x 20 meters

Suggested time allocation:

  • 12 minutes

How to play: 

  • Using the skills learnt previously, attacking players can decide to set up either a ruck or a maul when tackled
  • After a successful 2-hands-touch / tag / tackle, the defender must stay on his/her own side of the ball (stay onside)
  • Teachers and coaches may decide to allow contested rucks
  • When a successful 2-hands-touch / tag / tackle is made, or when the ball carrier stays on his/her feet when a defender attempts to tackle him/her, the attackers can decide to form a maul
  • Teachers & coaches may decide:
    • to allow contested mauls: the ball carrier and his/her teammates can advance the maul no more than two meters; the ball must then be passed; the defending team can resist the progression of the maul, respecting the off-side laws
    • to not allow contested mauls: all the attackers and defenders touching the ball carrier must stay bounded until the ball is passed

Coaching points

For the attackers:

  • Run forward
  • Dodge the defenders
  • When tackled, keep the body between the defenders and the ball
  • Support players must stay behind the ball
  • After a tackle is made, decide whether to go forward to ground (ruck) or stay on the feet (maul) and wait for a supporting player to come in to help

For the defenders:

  • Keep the head up - focus on the waist of the ball carrier
  • Two handed touch tackle
  • In a ruck, stand over the tackled player and hold the second attacker
  • In a maul, hold on to the ball carrier

Difficulty

Harder (for the attackers):

  •   Tacklers can try to take the ball once it is placed on the ground in a ruck and wrestle for the ball in a maul

Easier (the attackers):

  •  Increase the number of attackers in the maul or ruck. But remember, the more attackers that commit to the contact area, the less that are available to use the space away from the ruck or maul
