Ball lift warm up rugby drill
Before games it is important to get each player on the team warmed up in mind and body for the intense conditions they will be facing in the match. If they run onto the pitch cold, still thinking about last night's film, you've got problems. Use the following rugby warm-up drill to help them focus on the here and now.
The ball lift warm-up is taken from Ultimate Rugby Warm-Ups Manual. It's a good rugby drill to use to get players focusing on the ball as well as on scrummaging.
Rugby drill set up
- Two players face each other. They bind together with their right arms, each using their left hand to help each other pick up a ball between them. They then have to put it down.
- Then change the binding arm and "pick-up" hand. Next have the players move to different points while remaining bound, to pick up and put down a ball.
