Non Contact Session Plan for Juniors with The Rugby Site
This is a great session for junior players with the current playing and contact restrictions. Ben Herring has produced some great content for coaches to use with your young players. An Attack session for junior players is simply about evading players, understanding space and having fun plenty of fun. Coupled with Catch and Pass sessions this is all junior players need before they enter contact and set piece play once the restrictions are lifted. The key is to be adaptable and innovative, stay positive, connected and healthy.
These sessions are based on the premise that players can come together and train in groups but are not permitted to use equipment or have full contact with another player.
Please modify if restrictions are different in your region or for your age grade. Also any gym related exercise suggested can be replaced in location and equipment.
