Ruck Drills - Sept 17

Review the drills we used last night in training. Take special note of the coaching points.

Under 14 Boys DIV B venue change for Sept. 20

The Under 14 DIV B team will now play at HOME on Sept 20. Games will commence at 4.30pm and the evening's matches should conclude by 6.15pm.

The Div B matches play halves of 7 minutes with 1 minute 30 half-time break.
Ensure players bring water bottles, cleats, mouth guards, and both playing strips.

Good luck.

Retaining the ball and turning over opposition ball wins games. Simple!!

Contact warm-up drills

Part of our warmups are focused on the wrestling and scrummaging required i the game. Mike Cron is an expert in this field. He coaches the All Blacks in this aspect of the game and has done so for the last decade. Watch these two clips for insights into what we are aspiring to achieve. Most of these can be done at home with a partner.
The first clip is a little scratchy but you should get the idea....

Passing Drills

Over the last two weeks we have have spent a large part of our focus on passing drills that require you to draw and pass. Watch the following clip to familiarize yourself further with the concepts from our trainings. Note, the body movement of the ball carriers approaching the tackler. The ball carrier tries to move the tackler away from the ball receiver hence creating space for receiver to penetrate the defensive line.
