And one should not just think of different rugby balls, but also try using tennis balls (see issue 10), footballs (have you ever tried spinning one of these?) or even beach balls. All could add an element of fun, if not enhance your players understanding of ball handling.

Resistance running and passing

Resistance running is where another player holds onto a player’s shirt or shorts as they try to run forward. The idea is to letrepparttar player make some progress but making them work significantly harder than they would do normally. Have you tried this technique with ball handing? Players do not always haverepparttar 148060 luxury of passing unhindered.

Once they have made right hand passes, then get them to change hands. Move on to getting players to take passes one-handed – replicatingrepparttar 148066 times inrepparttar 148067 game when they need to take contact withrepparttar 148068 other arm.
