1. SKILLS AND TECHENIQUES OF
RUGBY

2. What is Rugby ?
Rugby is a type of football developed at Rugby
School in Rugby, Warwickshire, one of many
versions of football played at English public
schools in the 19th century. The two main types
of rugby are rugby league and rugby union.
Although rugby league initially used rugby
union rules, they are now wholly separate
sports. Following the 1895 split in rugby football,
the two forms rugby league and rugby
union differed in administration only. Soon the
rules of rugby league were modified, resulting
in two distinctly different forms of rugby. After
100 years, in 1995 rugby union joined rugby
league and most other forms of football as an
openly professional sport.

3. Rugby Skills

4. Pick up and hold the ball
securely
Hold the ball securely from the
moment you touch the ball .When
you pick up the ball you do it with
the "cage grip". Fingers form a cradle
underneath, thumbs press the ball
into the cradle.
Hold it like that and you hold on to it,
no need for adjustments. You will be
confident when you hold the ball.
The more you practice, the more you
will be confident on the field, in a
game. You`ll find the details at rugby
handling.

5. Handle the ball with
confidence
When you are the ball carrier on the field (the
player in possession of the ball) be sure you
handle the ball well so you keep possession.
Handling the ball involves moving it around in
relation to your body, You do this in a number of
situations, including
•positioning the ball when preparing to pass or
kick
•positioning the ball so you can run fast or
evasively
•juggling the ball to keep possession after less
than perfect catch
•moving the ball to protect it when moving in to
contact

6. Receive and control a pass
One of the most important of the rugby
core skills. When you are able to control
the ball well when it has been passed to
you in different situations you`ll feel
confident.
The ball is moved around a lot in rugby
so being able to catch the ball in many
different circumstances is an important
part of your game.
The more you control the ball the more
likely
• you will score
• you will win games
• you will enjoy yourself

7. Move the ball - make it do the work
This is a very important area of rugby core
skills. When you pass the ball well you can
safely move it to a player better placed
than you are and so use the ball to the best
advantage as a team.
"Let the ball do the work" is a saying in ball
games like rugby.
It means move the ball around with well
judged passes and you will break defenses
because the ball can move faster than
players. The aim is to get the ball into the
hands of a player who is opposite a
weakness in the opposition defense.

8. Moving with the ball
An important and expected part of rugby
core skills.
Moving fast with the ball rugby ball is not
the same as just running.
When you run fast you will tend to use
the one arm carry. It allows high speed
running and gives you a free arm to hand-
off would-be tacklers.
When you pass well to a supporting player
you create an advantage. All the small
advantages you create go to winning the
game.

9. Running, without the ball
Perhaps one of the surprising core rugby
skills.
You can make an attack successful even
without the ball.
Think through when you run and where
you run so you create options for the ball
carrier and make the defense worry about
you.
Tune in to the ball carrier. Assess their most
likely actions and assess the state of the
defense.
Plan your running using the information
gathered so you give your best possible
support. Then you`ll be in the right place at
the right time.

10. Catching, Passing and Running
Practice these rugby core skills constantly.
Until you do them all well.
Then keep practicing until you do them
perfectly
Then keep practicing!!!
Do loads by yourself. Amaze everyone
with your skill.
You`ll be an expert, full of confidence!!!
Along the way build in the skills of
tackling, kicking and especially evading -
"the sidestep".
