Bonjour, à faire loin des périodes de compétition. Notamment avec des balls d’un diamètre différent du ballon officiel.

Hi Tasha

It’s just a passing hand eye co-ordination drill. You can call it whatever you like as most teams use similar drills but call them something different.

Enjoy your rugby

Whats the name of the drill?

Pete, I have done the drill myself and used it with players of different ages and abilities, and I remember seeing it on a Canberra Raiders video back in the 80′s.
My point is that sports science studies show that hand eye co-ordination and muscle memory are specific.
Juggling with chainsaws and bowling balls is an admirable skill that requires excellent hand eye coordination and highly tuned motor control, but it doesn’t help you pass and catch a rugby ball.
I think the 2010 soccer world cup supports my arguement. The introduction of a new ball, only slightly different to what players have been used to, has, for many players, ruined their motor skills, they are over or under hitting the ball. Corners and free kicks have been ridiculously poor.
It’s a fun drill, and can be used to break up the monotony of training, but it isnt the way to improve handling a rugby ball

Hi, Neil, Thank for the drill, it`s one that we use with all sorts of different size balls.I have used this drill for the past ten years starting at with Under 7`s. Hand/ Eye coordination is so important. If the little guys can not catch on the field they lose heart very quickly. Thanks for going back to grassroots. Bill Stone Newtown Junior Rugby League, Qld.

Des, I think you have missed the relevance for this drill.
It helps to develop hand eye co-ordination especially amongst those whos core skills in this area are lacking.
Try the drill then get feed back from your players…you will be surprised at the improvement.
