Try to always start your sessions with your players warming up with the rugby ball in hand.
Rugby Netball is a great way for young players to start learning the concept of space and working towards it.
Now get the new players (young or old) into games learning and having fun trying to evade each other.
As Ben demonstrates celebrate, praise and promote good skills. The players will aspire to follow.
You can start giving your players some tools to help them evade their opponents. Start with the Step – everyone big or small, young or old loves to beat their opponent with ‘The Magic Step’.
Finish the session with some Line Passing for players to get comfortable catching and passing the ball across their bodies both sides in a restricted space.

I’ll use part 1 tonight, first practice of the season for U12. Thanks Ben!
Muy bueno y didáctico . El entrenador llevo a los jugadores paso a paso y en forma lúdica para que logren el objetivo del entrenamiento : la evasión y el paso mágico .
Brilliant stuff, great videos.
Interesting to see Ben using a drill when England Rugby have been encouraging us to be game game game and virtually outlaw drills for some years now
Absolutely Brilliant
I love to learn a lot
I really like the progressions offered in these four videos…an often overlooked skill set from which any players can benefit. And, it looked like all were having a lot of fun!
Nice and simple drills good for a senior boys warm up. Adding the fun elements.
