Rugby Skills Drill Video
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a simple drill used by several professional Rugby League Teams in both the UK and Australia.
It can be used as both a warm up drill and/or part of a skills conditioning circuit. The aim of the drill is to improve
- catching
- handling
- passing
This drill forces the player to concentrate on hand/eye co-ordination by using smaller objects such as a tennis ball or golf ball.
After the initial square exercise, you’ll notice the coach has the players 3 attackers v 3 defenders. This is the more advanced option and I suggest you start with 2 v 1 then build up to 3 v 2 and finally 3 v 3 once the players have progressed.
Let me know your thoughts about this drill and whether you have any success with it by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page. Anyhow here’s the drill…

Twitter and Rugby Coaching
Posted by: | Comments
In case you’ve been in a cave the last few months, you may well have heard about the new social media site ‘Twitter’. For those of you who are already using this, my apologies for being a bit behind the time:) For those who haven’t heard of Twitter, then all I can say is, YOU WILL.
I must admit when I was first introduced to ‘tweeting’ (get me with the lingo), I thought what a waste of time as you can only write 140 words and what’s the use in that! But once you get into it, this micro-blogging is not only fun but enables you to communicate with hundreds/thousands of people that happen to be interested in the same subjects as yourself.
So for months now I saw and heard the buzz about Twitter, but it wasn’t until I came across this little $17 ebook ‘Twitter Treasure Chest’ that I fully understood its marketing implications and how I could use it to speak to Rugby Coaches worldwide. Now I can clearly see how using Twitter can help me further build relationships with coaches, and I am going to be ‘tweeting’ frequently! In fact, I have already started.
What I liked about this product is that it also came with 11 videos going through step by step from simply setting up your account to integrating some cool tools and even how you can make sum cash!
