Overview:

In groups of 4 students set up grid that is 3m x 3m.  There are 3 students on the outside of the grid and 1 student (person in the middle) on the inside who tries to steal or knock down the rugby ball while the others pass to one another. If the students on the outside make 5 passes then the student in the middle changes or the size of the grid decreases.  If the student on the middle intercepts the pass then they will also rotate or the size of the grid will increase.  This game helps students understand the importance of movement on and off the ball.  Also students begin to understand the concept of teamwork and communication to help protect the rugby ball.

Rules:

1. 1)Players use an underhand spin pass
   

2. 2)Five consecutive passes equals point for players on outside
   

3. 3)If the person in the middle intercepts the ball or knocks the ball away then two points for player in the middle
