Swap ends touch

How it works

  1. Normal touch rugby.
  2. On the coach's whistle, both teams swap the direction they're attacking. The team with the ball keeps it.
  3. Whistle at random times so they have to look up and think.

Coaching points

  • Look for your try line after every whistle.
  • Talk: “We're going that way!”
  • Keep the games short and lively.

Ready for the next level when: Both teams switch direction quickly and correctly on the whistle.
