Scrum walkthrough

How it works

  1. Walk the whole team through a scrum, unopposed: forwards bind and crouch, the scrum half puts the ball in, the ball comes back.
  2. Backs line up in their spots, then run a simple move from the scrum.
  3. Repeat from different places on the pitch.

Coaching points

  • Everyone knows their spot before the ball goes in.
  • Forwards: bind, crouch, hold. No pushing.
  • Check your age group's scrum rules with the official RFU text.

Ready for the next level when: The team sets up an unopposed scrum and runs a move from it without stopping.
