Catch & Pass with Dave Ellis

This is a great drill for girls playing with balls that are too big for most of them. World rugby should waken up and understand that a player with a size 4 boot should not be playing with a ball the same size as used by a player with a size 12. how does it effect the game if they play with a smaller ball?

I particularly like the idea of using a physical barrier to discourage the over rotation of the upper body. Simple but very effective.

Thank you Dave!! Been advocating for a modification of this “Punch-Pass” for years! IMO… The ball ROLLS off the hand… it is not “spun” or turned by the wrist as is commonly misinterpreted by those trying to coach the “Punch-Pass”. Look up “Spin-Pass” on the internet… innumerable photos of hands in supinated position (ie. pinky rotating under wrist vs over). WELL DONE!
