Help. I still can't get my head round the following. At under 14 level what training can't you do in the summer break. So far we have just been doing fitness, but I'd like to introduce some tackling/rucking drills tailored to the firmness of the pitch of course.

There seems to be opinion amongst some that you can't do contact work in the summer break. All I can find on the RFU website is references to not playing matches off season. HELP!!

PS if you know where the policy is written so I can refer to it that would be even better.

Try going to the RFU Referee, Law/regulations within the community website:

  • SCHOOLS & YOUTH > Guidelines to Regulations > 5 Coaching

It states:

5.5 Attention must be paid to pre-season preparation. Players should be conditioned to play rugby rather than hope to become conditioned by playing it. Adequate fitness training, including special exercises for the front row, is vital - necks and shoulders need to be strong. The fatigue factor needs careful watching - see RFU publication, The RFU Guide for Coaches “Fitness and Conditioning”.

5.6 Tackling is a skill that needs to be taught. See appropriate RFU publications and videos, the RFU Continuum and “Tackling Safety” booklet. For up to date products contact www.rfu.com or email refereeinfo@rfu.com.
