In recent times young rugby teams have begun to complicate their game. Many professional rugby players have advised coaches of young rugby teams to simplify the structure of their game and focus on teaching the players to perfect the basics. After watching the professional players, many young players want to try to use all the moves they see them use, this can lead to confusion in the young players whilst playing. It could also lead to the players growing up without a proper understanding of the basics of the game. This is why the best teams in grass roots rugby use simple drills to train their skills.

Tackling Technique

Author: Alex McLachlan  Tackling is one of the most vital parts of Rugby. Younger players must realise that tackling is not about your strength and size or the strength and size of the opposing players, but rather the technique that you have. The ideal tackle will see the tackler have their foot close to the body of the opposition player. The tacklers shoulder should come into contact with the waist of the opposition, this is an important step as using hands and jersey grabbing is a very ineffectual way to tackle and it increases the chances of you breaking your finger. Finally, when tackling you should always end up on top of the tackled player. Here is a video you can follow to help guide you with your form!
