Small teams of 4-5 pupils are organized and equipped with rugby balls and bibs of different colors. The aim is for pupils to throw the ball to each other and run past the try line to score, without tackling since they have not had a lesson yet. Progressions introduce rules allowing movement with the ball if stationary or only passing backwards, while regressions increase space, add touches before turnover, or reduce team numbers.

Organise pupils into teams,
Set up areas like image 1 The aim is for pupils to throw the ball to each other and get past the try line to score a try. No tackle- as pupils have not received a lesson yet only touch.
Pupils must not move with the ball.
Pupils cannot tackle yet, only intercept the ball and mark the player arms distance away. Any throw is acceptable Pupil must receive the pass behind the try line and place it down to score a try.
Progressions;
Introduce new rules
o Pupil can move with the ball, however if they are moving they can be touched and the ball turned over. If pupils are stationary with ball they cannot be touched. o Pupils must only pass backwards. o If you tackled and the ball is turned over you must remain knelt down (safely) until the next successful pass or tackle. Decrease the size of the playing area
Regressions:
Increase the size of the playing area
Players get 6 touch tackles before play is turned over (like league), pass ball through legs to be picked up by team mate. Reduce team numbers.
