Unit Summary
This unit challenges pupils to problem solve and make good decisions under pressure in T1 rugby games and scenarios. Pupils will apply more advanced tactics and strategies whilst securing their understanding of the nuances in the laws of the game.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to pass on the move and pass off both hands while keeping the ball safe.
Key Notes
- Move: use two hands when carrying the ball to avoid knock-ons.
- Move: both arms move across the body and reach out in the direction the ball is being passed.
- Think: it's essential to look where you are passing to ensure the receiver is ready, rather than focused on defenders.
- Feel: problem solving finds gaps in the field to exploit through a mix of running, passing and movement off the ball.
- Connect: good awareness is required to support the ball carrier.
Vocabulary To Learn
- pop pass: a short, quick pass to maintain momentum in attack
- spin pass: applying rotation to the ball to help it travel faster and further mostly used by backline players (spiral or torpedo pass)
- touches: when a defender uses one hand to lightly tag the ball carrier on any part of their body, clothing or the ball
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils may think it easier to hold the ball in 1 hand.
