I'll PM you the email of the chap at the RFL who sent me my ID number. I only got mine after chasing it up, and I've still never received my coaching ID card, despite chasing that up as well.

Loads of drills on Youtube which have obviously are really easy to follow as they are videos

Cheers for that Cronus. You're a good lad really

Too true.

ARL dev site. coachrugbyleague.com.au/ I remember I had something called "pass catch kick tackle" you could perhaps buy somewhere. Apparently Australian coaches are superhuman so let me know if there is anything you learn over there that's different from over here.

Google. "RLCM drill downloads"

Slightly off topic . Does anyone use hoops for passing practice ?

I was asked to fabricate some . Adjustable for both height and hoop size . The idea being that the kids pass the ball through the hoops as they run past them . As they get better at passing through the hoops you can reduce the size of the hoop . The height adjustment makes the hoops useable by all ages .

If you're looking at conditioning and want to crucify your team pre season, learn what a coat hanger is.

Ahaa! I remember them from my playing days. Yet another reason as to why I enjoy coaching now





A couple of particularly unruly kids at our sessions have learnt what they are too

A good fitness training drill is to split the team in half. Then put one half on one side of the pitch/track and the other half on the other side. The aim is the first team to lap the other team. For example, the fastest player on half A has to lap everysingle player on half B then they have completed it. Also it is good for teamwork becuase if they competetive they wont want peaple letting them down.



Too complicated or do you understand?!
