Wide lane tries

How it works

  1. Mark a lane down each edge of the pitch, about 5m wide.
  2. Normal touch rugby. A try scored in an outside lane is worth two points; in the middle, one.
  3. After a while, take the cones away and keep the scoring.

Coaching points

  • Somebody has to stay wide for the ball to get there. Praise that player.
  • Ball carrier draws defenders in the middle, then moves it wide.
  • Ask the team at half-time how they could score more two-pointers.

Ready for the next level when: Teams are choosing to keep a player wide without lanes or reminders.
