Lesson 7 and 9 PE 452 – Territory Invasion games Dr Tim Hopper 01/10/2001

Intents

1. Series of games progressing from touch rugby that in turn progresses to rugby
2. Progression of skills based upon

Loc (BM) off-the-ball movements	Man (EH) on-the-ball skills
Running speed change, Change direction. Fake. Guarding. Preparing to catch. Running from deep.	Ball handling – receiving. Side pass Kick.. Scrum

3. Use of space with large number
4. Choice of ball
5. Reciprocal. Non participants coach watch me then do for another group.

Game Progression

Organization. Teams of 9 or ten with pinnies. (Grouping) Pylons for goals. Two places for balls.
PROGRESSION	TACTICAL
Ball handling. Individual job throw and catch. Change of direction. Space, absorb ball. + Partner Ball stretches.	Plan where going. Height for challenge One hand catch.
2 on 2 game in a ten by ten grid. Score in either goal. Two-touch must pass. No boundaries, Decide how restart after a goal. With kids what could you work on?	How do you work as a pair? Where should you go with the ball? Where should you go when team does not have the ball? When partner has the ball? Quick transition from attack to defence/
5 on 5 game with four goals in four grids. Add Line-out for out-of-bounds.	Time-out. Strategy needed. Finf space. Mark player. Fake. Quick short passes.
5 on 5 (4 on 4) game. (Representation) Score – end line. 2 by 2 areas. New rule “Must pass the ball back.” “Must always be behind the ball.”	What must you do when get the ball? How should you guide your endline?
2 on 2 game same rules 2 by 1 areas. Length game Width game – What happens to play?	How can you move forward when pass back? How do you want to receive the ball? Where should you go when your team loses the ball?
Side pass skill. Step, prep, swing, run on Pylons as opponents – fake. Pairs. Partner coach STEP, PREP, SWING Pairs run with partner coming from deep 3 pairs defend. Run over the middle two grids. If get across without dropping ball or passing forward score	Take opponent with you. Open space Passive defenders. Competitive defenders.
3 on1 conditional game (Exaggeration focus). Rules 5 goes then swap Start from end lines. Come from deep. Walk Run – Defender passive Run – defender competitive.	How can you make the extra person advantage count? Space – miss out Overlap Scissors Defender cover channels.
Return to 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 game. New teams. Play in 4 by 1 areas. Add Scrum for knock ons Add you can kick forward and out of bounds rule.	How should your team set-up with the ball? How should your team set-up without the ball? How can you gain territory?
Next class add in Kicking skill Then build up scrum to 3-person. Positional play.

Lesson 8

Intents – Progression of lead-up games to the formal like game. Understand why of rules and affect on play. Skills arise from game demands. When could skill be learned/refined?

6. Series of games progressing from touch rugby that in turn progresses to rugby
7. Progression of skills based upon

Loc (BM) off-the-ball movements	Man (EH) on-the-ball
Running, Change direction. Fake. Guarding. Side step action. Preparing to catch. Positioning as a team.	Ball handling – receiving. Side pass Kicks. Scrum

8. Use of space with large number
9. Choice of ball
10. Reciprocal. Non participants coach watch me then do for another group.

· Review passing and team-play. Run, Plant prep, SWING and follow through
Penetrate and support.

· Warm-up – Block the pylon/ball. Walk, stretch then run stretch.

· 360 degrees rugby in 4 games – Line-outs - Sampling
If ball goes out of play – 20 by 20 grid

· 4 v 4 rugby game – Chicken scrum for knock-on – Representation

Practice in team partners coach.

SCRUM – PREP Wide Base Lock head partners chest (right side), bind inside arm. Shoulders above hips. Three person Props lift hooker up by shorts

WIND-UP – Knees bent, back straight, lean forward.
FORCE GENERATION – push into partner with shoulders above hips – Loose hand scratch for ball. Hooker use outside foot to strike

RECOVERY – release grip and lean back to stand.

If ball knocked forward. How do you set-up in defence? How do you set up in attack?

· 3 on 1 practice – Scissors, loop, miss-out – Exaggeration.
How can a team create space to attack opponent’s territory?

Review side passing – RUN, PLANT/PREP, SWING AND FOLLOW THROUGH. Hips take out opponent. If opponent does not follow then fake.

· 4 v 4 game (2 x 5 v 5) – 40 by 10 grids. Allowed to kick the ball forward.

Where is the space to invade? Rule can only kick out direct if in last quarter of field. Ball must bounce first if not in last quarter.

How can you gain territory?
