Warm up
Chasers hold the ball in two hands with fingers spread around the centre of the ball.
Carry the ball at chest height with elbows bent.
Game
Players run into space and hold hands out to indicate they are ready to catch.
Keep eyes on the ball and watch it into the hands in order to catch cleanly and early.
Players should not stand still to receive a pass but ensure they get away from a defender.
Technical area
Players do not need to pass to someone different every time. The objective is to make 10 passes so the teacher may observe and refer to the tactics adopted.
Focus on the outcome of the pass, in preference to method. Players are encouraged to pass and offload withexperimentation, tricks and sleight of hand.

Warm up
Teacher to adjust the area size to assist or challenge the players.
Game
Encourage the ‘Go Forward’ principle.Award a bonus point for successful evasion, but also avoid stigmatising being tackled if going forward at the time.
If going forward remains a problem with some players, award 1pt bonus for every touch line cone passed when running with the ball.
Technical area
Teacher stands in the middle and between the two teams.
The attack turn away from the defence so they cannot see the teacher, who indicates to the defence to spread or bunch (clenched fist or open hand).The teacher calls ‘turn’ and throws the ball to the attackers who must recognise the defence shape and attack accordingly.

Award a bonus point for successful evasion, but also avoid stigmatising being tackled if going forward at the time.
If going forward remains a problem with some players, award 1pt bonus for every touch line cone passed when running with the ball.
Game
Condition the tackle situation to give enough time for the attack to arrange a diamond shape in next attack.
As the players become quicker in organisation, increase the speed of the ball from the tackle.
Technical area
Encourage players to hold their depth in support and accelerate onto the pass.
Focus on the support play and intention. Acknowledge good timing, depth and angle even if the player does not receive the ball.

Warm up
Ideally the ball carrier tries to keep directly behind the evader. This challenges and develops the reading of body language.
This will improve a player’s ability to support effectively when playing rugby.
Game
Allow appropriate time for the attack toset up the diamond shapes especiallyfrom break downs, but vary the frontplayer in order to give all players avariety of roles.
If during quicker action the shape isnot perfect, acknowledge those players in the second line of attack and give credit to depth and speed of realignment.
Technical area
Teacher to work on the diamond formation but vary to whom the ball is passed i.e. not always the front player.
Sometimes the side or back player and observe how they react and realign.

Rugby Football Union’s School Curriculum For year 7 – Invasion Games Rugby Group
Warm up
Allow appropriate time for the attack to set up the diamond shapes especially from break downs, but vary the front player in order to give all players a variety of roles.
If during quicker action the shape isnot perfect, acknowledge those players in the second line of attack and give credit to depth and speed of realignment.
Game
Variations:1) Overload the attack so the defence is stretched to cover the area and this provides penetrate and outflank opportunities.
2) Mark a 5m channel on both flanks. No defenders are allowed in this channel and only 1 attacker is allowed.Can the attack work the overlap within 6 tackles (turnover)?
Technical area
The attacker can enter the area from either corner. The defender must close down the space early to prevent the attacker scoring.
Less experienced defenders to work in smaller areas in order to build confidence.

Lesson 6
Warm up
Award 1pt each time a support playeraccelerates onto a pass and ends upfurther forward than the original passer.
Players to work hard to get back into the game once tagged.
Game
Continue with the game but awardpoints for acceleration into space even if the ball is not received i.e. reward intent.
Teacher may ask the players: “How can we, as attackers try to create 2v1 situations?”
Work hard to recycle back into the game. By running quickly into a space, thus creating two attackers against one defender situation.
Technical area
Teacher may ask the players: “What are the challenges when attacking a narrow try line compared to a wide one?”
Narrow pitch provides smaller spacesbetween defenders and less room tooutflank the defence.

Lesson 7
Warm up
Each player is given a number. At any time, the teacher may call a number and that ‘defender’ must run back to their own try line before rejoining the game.
This will give the attack the chance to manipulate 2v1 situations.
Game
Encourage the development of the dummy pass. Use the same technique of a lateral pass i.e. longest way out but shortest way back.
Look at the tactical implications of where the attackers are in relation to the defenders at the point where the try lines are changed.
Technical area
2v1Players begin from the centre of the grid, back to back.
Attackers to quickly scan where thedefender is coming from and makedecisions on their angle of run, speed of run, depth of run, regarding both thepasser and the receiver.

Focus on creating the 2v1 situations.
Fix defender.
Create time and space for the receiver who whenever possible comes onto the ball at ‘top pace’.
Technical area
The focus is on the defender and theability to manipulate the ball carrier into a tackle area.
Principles of Defence:• Deny attacker space• Apply pressure• Manipulate attacker• Line them up for the tackle• Drive them backwards• Win ball

When players score, the same team turn and attack immediately in theother direction.
Technical area
Key factors for rear tackle:• Chase attacker• Lock arms around waist and allow arms (still in a locked position) to slide down to thighs• Use attacker’s momentum to bring him/her to the ground• Get up quickly and win the ball
