Effort scoreboard

How it works

1. A touch game where tries don't count. Instead, teams score points for effort.
2. The coach awards points for good support runs, calling for the ball, getting back onside and encouraging teammates.
3. Announce the points out loud as they happen.

Coaching points

• Pick 2 or 3 things to reward, not ten.
• Make sure every player scores at least once.
• Ask: “What did we get points for?”

Ready for the next level when: Players are chasing effort points without being reminded.
