Cone map

How it works

  1. Lay out cones where each player stands at a scrum (or a lineout). Each cone is a position.
  2. Players jog around, and on the call “scrum!” everyone runs to their cone.
  3. Swap positions every few goes so everyone learns more than one spot.

Coaching points

  • Know your spot before the ball is down.
  • Look at who's beside you.
  • Use the same position names every week.

Ready for the next level when: Every player gets to their spot on the call without help.
