Two-pass try

How it works

  1. Normal touch rugby in a small area.
  2. A try only counts if the ball has been passed at least twice since the last touch or turnover.
  3. Once they're doing it, add a bonus point for a try scored by a player who started on the other side of the pitch.

Coaching points

  • Praise the passer as loudly as the scorer.
  • Support players get beside or slightly behind the ball carrier, not in front.
  • Ask: “Who made that try?” Let them name the passers.

Ready for the next level when: Most tries come from a move with two or more passes, without being reminded.
