Hi Russ,

Lots of pairs work would be good. Access to skipping ropes, evasion belts, ladders for fast feet work would be handy. Work with tennis balls for handling drills. There's a great press-up exercise moving a tennis ball from lhand>small of back>rhand>small of back>lhand for core control. Lying face up-throw ball-get up and catch is also v useful. 

Indoors is a great opportunity to do or use stuff that you haven't seen since pre-season. Great way of checking their skills and fitness levels too.

Dynamic work such as Ladders, hurdles (SAQ) type work to develop footwork?

If you have access to mats in the hall, how about some grippling/wrestling?

Handling and decision making - 2v1's, 3v2's....

Basic handling games, including basketball/zone or end ball etc.....

Communication practices - being in a closed environment a lot of noise is generated, so effective/efficent communication practices could/should be used. 

If all else fails - circuit training

we've played tag & hawick ball.   but put in a variation to the tag game.

The hall is split into 3 basketball courts - we split the teams into 3 sections - telling each team that they cant leave thier own grids, the ball must pass through each grid and have completed 3 passes within each grid before a score can be made.  Doing this certainly helped to ensure all kids got a touch of the ball.  We had loads that day!!!.

I'd get hold of a nursery school teacher! they have AWESOME games that you can adapt for rugby- you can keep players smiling & get them sweaty as ... ' using modified nursery games!
