I am so pleased with all of the drills and advice on rugby. I am a player for my local club and we don't have a coach at the moment so I, as a senior player, am filling that gap. With your help, the team has been able to improve our skills.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.

We've been at the cutting edge of rugby coaching since we launched in 2005, creating resources for the grassroots youth coach, following best practice from around the world and insights from the professional game.
As a rugby coach, it's important to have a variety of drills in your arsenal to help your team improve their skills and performance. Whether you're coaching a youth team or a professional team, incorporating drills into your training sessions is crucial for player development. In this blog post, we'll cover four key drills to run for your team: passing drills, tackling drills, scrum drills, and fitness drills.
When running passing drills, it's important to focus on the players' hand positioning, body position, and follow-through. Encourage your players to keep their hands up and their bodies low to the ground to improve their passing accuracy.
When running tackling drills, it's important to focus on the players' body positioning, footwork, and technique. Encourage your players to keep their heads up and their bodies low to the ground to improve their tackling effectiveness.
When running scrum drills, it's important to focus on the players' body positioning, footwork, and technique. Encourage your players to work together as a team and communicate effectively to execute the scrum successfully.

The activities and behaviours of a female head coach of a national rugby union team were recorded in both training and competition, across a whole rugby season, using the newly developed Rugby Coach Activities and Behaviours Instrument (RCABI). The instrument incorporates 24 categories of behaviour, embedded within three forms of activity (training form (TF), playing form (PF) and competitive match) and seven sub-activity types. In contrast to traditional drill-based coaching, 58.5% of the training time was found to have been spent in PF activities. Moreover, the proportion of PF activities increased to a peak average of 83.8% in proximity to the team's annual international championship. Uniquely, one of the coach's most prolific behaviours was conferring with associates (23.3%), highlighting the importance of interactions with assistant coaches, medical staff and others in shaping the coaching process. Additionally, the frequencies of key behaviours such as questioning and praise were found to vary between the different activity forms and types, raising questions about previous conceptions of effective coaching practice. The findings are discussed in the light of the Game Sense philosophy and the role of the head coach.
Conclusions: Although game-simulation drills provided the closest representation of competition, the structured duration appeared important since the 10-min running clock increased training specificity. Coaches can therefore modify the desired training response by making subtle changes to the format of game-simulation drills.
Coaching is central to developing, sustaining and increasing participation in rugby union as well as improving performance at all levels. Scottish Rugby is committed to developing a quality game by providing a coach development service to support member clubs and schools in their development of coaches.
These two drills will increase range of motion and leg speed. Over ten meters, take small, fast, high steps. Pump your arms and legs as fast as you can, bringing your knees up to hip-height each strep. Turn around and run back but, this time, bring your heels up to your butt. Rest 30-60 seconds and repeat for three more sets.
Place ten cones two meters apart and then move back ten meters. Jog forward and then on reaching the cones, sprint through them. After the last cone, sprint forward five meters. Walk back to the start and repeat twice more to make three reps. Rest three minutes and then do two more sets. Carry a rugby ball to increase specificity.

By participating in the rugby coaching volunteer placement in Argentina you will experience the two different worlds of Sport in Argentina. On one hand, working with some of the poorest and underprivileged children in the world and providing coaching to those who usually do not have access, whilst also experiencing the rugby culture at a semi professional club.
Rugby in Argentina
Rugby is considered to be the second most popular sport in Argentina, only behind association football. Recent performances at the Rugby World Cup competitions has cemented the reputation of rugby as being in the top three most popular sports in Argentina. Rugby in Argentina is largely played by the middle class who have access to facilities, whereas children in the underprivileged areas can do no more than watch since they have little or no access to the simplest of rugby equipment. Therefore, by joining this rugby coaching project, you will give more children the chance to play and be coached rugby, providing values and friendship which are the main objectives of the projects. You will also have the chance to play rugby at a local rugby team so you will have the chance to play the sport you love, learn more Spanish and making lifelong friends.
Your Rugby Coaching Volunteer Placement
Your rugby placement will be split into two different projects aimed at promoting rugby in different Sports Centres within the city of Buenos Aires, and secondly coaching rugby during the evenings at a local Rugby Club.
To build upon this, the first part of your rugby placement will consist in coaching sport at different Sports Centres. These Sports Centres or Parques, enable kids from low income families to join governmental sports programmes which use rugby as a tool to encourage kids to get involved in sports by introducing basic skills. You will be working alongside existing Physical Education teachers who appreciate your help and any new thoughts you bring for drills and exercise ideas. Although you will start coaching at the grass roots level, you will soon find that kids in Argentina are extremely friendly and naturally sports-mad people. They will carefully listen to you, although they may need help with some of your rugby references in English. Therefore, it is a good chance to exchange languages by teaching some English vocabulary and learning some Spanish in return, while playing and coaching the sport you love. The government is very keen to welcome our volunteer rugby coaches into their projects to engage young people in rugby.
