Get Quick Ball at the Ruck

A couple of weeks ago we look in detail at rucking technique. If you missed it check out the comprehensive Ruck Clear Out section online.

Well this week we bring you a comprehensive progressive session to get players hitting rucks hard creating quick ball.

How often do we see players arrive at rucks and stop? Is it lack of fitness, or lack of technique?

So this weeks session demonstrates progressions from warm up through to conditioned game to get your players arriving at the ruck and getting in the correct position to make the 1st hard yard and present quick ball for the backs.

Defense Defense Defense - Hold the line

"HOLD THE LINE" - it's not just a line from a modern hollywood classic.

We regularly get quizzed about structuring defense and training for defensive alignment.

A well drilled defense relies on displine and communication, a well tuned defensive line is vital to any team looking to compete at all levels.

This week we focus on some key exercises to teach defensive alignment, through progressive exercises.

We finish with a fun condiotioned game, to teach defenses to realign after the break. If it the 1st phase or the 10th phase of play the principles are the same, align correctly, communicate and "HOLD THE LINE"!

These are brand new exercises, not yet added to the library so they are still to be filmed, so to save them for future use, copy them to your clipboard and save the session, and then you can access them anytime you need.
