Coach says
How it works
- Like “Simon says”. Players only follow an instruction if it starts with “Coach says”.
- Use rugby moves: “Coach says hands up for a catch”, “Coach says ball in two hands”, “Coach says get low”.
- Anyone who moves without “Coach says” does 3 ball taps, then carries on. Nobody is out.
Coaching points
- Short, sharp instructions.
- Nobody sits out. Keep everyone playing.
- Finish with the stop signal you use in sessions.
Ready for the next level when: Players respond to calls quickly and stay focused for the whole game.
