KIT: Balls, cones, try lines, optional bibs

Play

  1. Pass in ANY direction — forward is fine.

  3. Safe touch or tag from defenders.
  4. After a touch, pass quickly and play on.
  5. Place the ball down to score, restart from the middle.

Say

  • “Find space!”
  • “Pass to your team!”
  • “Score the try!”

Make it easier

Use extra balls, or coach-supported possession for the quieter team.

Level it up

Reduce the space slightly, or require one pass before scoring.

30 pups

Two games at once — coach one, teacher the other. Nobody waits.

Stay safe & strong

Touch or tag only — no tackling.

Early Years 3–5 / KS1 5–7

EY: Very few rules, a large space, and the coach actively guiding players on the pitch.

KS1: Add teamwork, support play and more decision-making — who is free, where is the space.
