U7 rugby game sense drills
6 game sense drills a U7 squad is allowed to do, each with the set up, the coaching points and what it looks like from the touchline when it is going wrong.
Free to read with no account. They work at a pitch with no signal too.
What U7 is allowed here
U7 is the first grade the RFU allows game sense work at, so this is where it starts. Nothing below that grade sees any of these, in the app or on this site. What U7 rugby allows is the rest of it.
The drills
Under each one is what it looks like when that drill is going wrong.
- Corner ball 10 min · 8 to 20 players · 20 x 20 m Everybody piling towards whichever corner the ball is nearest
- Taking a free pass 8 min · 6 to 20 players · 15 x 10 m The ball put on the grass or rolled rather than passed out of the hands
- Follow your mate 9 min · 6 to 21 players · 20 x 15 m The two without the ball drifting in front of the carrier
- End ball 10 min · 8 to 24 players · 25 x 20 m Everybody standing where they passed from
- Four goals 10 min · 8 to 20 players · 25 x 25 m All of them charging at the nearest goal
