I like to get outdoors into the playground during lunchtime. With my background in playing, coaching and refereeing rugby I organised for a small-sided rugby game and a bit of coaching each Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime. We have on average 12 children turning up to play - as long as they have the compulsory mouthguard and change of clothes!
We start with a game of touch and then progress to some contact games, sometimes playing a league style with 6 tackles, and sometimes a rugby union style with small rucks. I am focusing on basic skills - pass, catch, tackle, evade, supporting the ball carrier and emphasising good sportsmanship and fun. It can get quite competitve!
