Ball juggling rugby warm up drill

This is a rugby warm-up drill that your young players will have fun using. Not only does it get them handling the ball before the main training session or the match starts, but also it's a good way of getting them used to the weather conditions.

Rugby drill set up

Your players should keep their heads up and look at both of their hands throughout this rugby warm-up drill.

The player passes a ball flat from his left to his right hand. He then passes flat from left to right and loops the ball back from right hand to left.
Adding a second ball to the warm-up drill, the player juggles, so that one ball goes from left to right while the other loops over from right to left.

Extend the warm-up drill

The more adept players on your team can try using three balls in the warm-up, or ask them to try to run while juggling two balls. For those who can't juggle, one ball is good enough to warm-up with, providing they're practising to be able to use more balls.
