FLAG RUGBY LESSON PLAN Activity/Time Explanation Instructional Cues Warm up Activity Star Drill (See Game Pack) Why is peripheral vision 6 minutes important? Talk At one 10m by 10 m grid, 4 students are at each cone. 2 adjacent groups start with a ball at the front of Heads up their group. Students run diagonally across grid handing off the ball to the player on the other side. Increase from 2 balls/grid to 4 balls per grid. Set-Induction Yesterday we worked on passing the ball to No forward 2 minutes supporting players in a grid. In rugby you can only passes pass the ball laterally or backwards. There are NO forward passes allowed. Today were going to play games that incorporate the no forward pass rule. How might this affect how we support the ball carrier? Initial Game 4 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 game (see Game pack Offensive Commit the 5 minutes games). defender to In a 10m wide and 25m long channel 4 defenders are the ball located at the 6m, 12m, 18m and 24m spots carrier.

As a supporter, what allowed you to speed up when you received a pass? What was the most effective place for you to stand, to receive a pass while running? Why did you sometimes have to slow down to catch the ball? As a ball Aim: Focus on supporting from depth (i.e. diagonally behind the ball carrier) Play modified 4 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 game All players must receive a pass before a try is scored at the end. Thus, passes may have to go in both directions throughout the grid, to ensure everyone receives a pass. Tactical Awareness Questions: 5 minutes In the initial 4 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 game what Defense tactics did the teams use to advance the ball? Did providing a numerical advantage to the offense make it easier to score? If so how? How did everyone having to receive a pass effect your alignment in support? Once you passed the ball, what was the most effective thing for you to do to become eligible to receive another pass? Play modified game.defenders can only pick one defender and must stick to them. However, attackers must make 2 passes between defenders. Focus realignment for effective continuity.
FLAG RUGBY LESSON PLAN Student Decision What supporting strategies can you use to Out wide Making maximize the offense's numerical advantage? 5 minutes How did your teammates supporting from depth help you as a ball carrier? As a supporter, what was the most effective pass for you to receive (hard, soft, short, looping, in front of me, behind me, etc)? How would it affect the game if the defenders were allowed to move forwards, backwards and laterally? What 3 things would you concentrate on to react effectively to this change in the game? Rank them in importance Skill Execution Defenders can move up and back 3m as well as Quick re- 8 minutes laterally and may move between defenders. starts. How did the ability of the defenders to move forward and backwards 3 yards change things? What was harder? How did you overcome that most effectively? What are the options for the ball carrier? What are the 3 most important factors to be a successful supporter? Developmental 4 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 v1 v 1 (4 offense 6 defense) Alternate 1 Modifications (if 4 v 2 v 2 (4 offense, 2 defense). Start with player on appropriate) defenders picking spots (attackers) and sticking with defense after 6 minutes them. each drill.

Once all the balls are gone from the middle of the grid, players may rob a ball from another corner and return it to their corner. Set-Induction Yesterday we played supporting games that allowed No forward 2 minutes you to practice the skills of running against a series passes of defenders. Today we're going to play games that incorporate several defenders. This will mean you need to focus even more on the support and continuity skills and strategies you have learnt in previous sessions" Initial Game 4 v 4 flag rugby games (See Game Pack). Defenders 5 minutes must return Rules dependent upon experience. Encourage lateral flag pass, and enforce immediate pass upon being tagged (3 steps / 3 seconds) see rules and glossary Tag Transaction. How many tries scored by both teams?

(2 defensive players rotate out after each defensive series to the other team). Interception or dropped ball results in an immediate turnover. How many total tries scored by both teams? Tactical Awareness Questions: 5 minutes Did providing a numerical advantage to the Defense offense make it easier? How did this affect the space available for the supporters? When you get tagged as the ball carrier, does play continue? So, what does that mean with regard to which direction you should run with the ball? And how should you support the ball carrier as he/she is running forward? Play game again: e.g. Students play focusing on running forward and supporting close to the ball carrier at depth.
FLAG RUGBY LESSON PLAN Student Decision If you can avoid being tagged, what is the Out wide Making advantage to your team? 5 minutes If you can pass before you are tagged, what is the advantage to your team? How does committing a defender affect the space available to your supporters? What is the most effective thing a ball carrier can do if a supporter sees space in front of them? How should the supporter communicate this space? Apart from the ball carrier running forward and supporting from depth, what else can we do to create space? How does passing the ball affect the defensive team? Skill Execution Play game with 1+ numerical advantage for offensive Quick re- 8 minutes team (one defender switches). starts. Emphasize continuity of play play on with immediate turnover to non offending team for dropped passes by explaining & playing the advantage rule. Forward passes & out of bounds, also result in a turnover, defense must retreat 5 steps (7m on a full size youth flag rugby field). On receiving a turnover the team that gains possession must re-start within 10 seconds or they will turnover the ball to the other team. Defending team must allow pass from tag and should be defending from onside position (see rules).
