A good rugby training, without the planning
Beginner rugby should be mostly running and passing. Keep contact to what your age grade allows, build handling first, and finish with a game that rewards support play.
The example below shows the shape of a beginner training. In the app, the activities come from Takoro’s rugby coaching library, with set-up, coaching points and easier or harder versions for each one.
Example: a 60-minute rugby training for beginners
| Part | Activity | Min | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warm-up | Tag game with a ball in hand | 10 | Evasion |
| Skills | Catch and pass on the run in lines | 10 | Handling |
| Skills | Two-on-one: draw the defender and pass | 10 | Decision making |
| Skills | Safe falling and ball presentation (non-contact) | 10 | Safety basics |
| Game | Rippa or touch game with a bonus for an offload | 15 | Support play |
| Wrap-up | Water, stretch and recap | 5 | Recap |
