TOKYO AMERICAN CLUB YOUTH RUGBY PROGRAM, Fall 2016 - Class 11 Report
Sunday Nov. 20th
6-9 years - 11:00-12:00
10-12 years 12:00-13:00
Because we only had a very short amount of time to play Pass Ball Rush at the end of last week's class we started by playing it this week. Passes are often going just behind the intended target. I will try to use this game more in future t develop judgement of pass timing and the ability to pass in front of the oncoming reciever.
I introduced some new calls (High ball catch, Sprint and "hand-off") to the Run Pass Circle. In the older age group I also added bounce but the younger age group are likely to not be able to control the bounce.
With the older age group we developed the hand off and understanding of transferring the ball to the arm away from the tackler.
Both classes finished with Number 1 on 1. In the older class this included points for a good catch (not on chest) and for having the ball the correct side as you try to get round the tackler.
