Team Passing Game

Set up

• Split the children into small groups of 4–6, each with a ball.
• Mark coloured try lines around the outside of the area — one colour per side.
• Give each group its own patch of space so groups never collide.

How to play

1. Children pass within their small group.
2. Aim for everyone in the group to touch the ball.
3. Coach calls “TRY!”
4. Whoever has the ball attacks the assigned coloured try line.
5. The ball carrier grounds the ball to score.
6. Reset, and change the scoring colour between rounds.

Coach cues

• “Everyone gets a touch!”
• “Hands ready!”
• “Talk to your team!”
• “Score the try!”

Early Years 3–5

Short simple passes in small groups; coach points to where the group scores.

KS1 5–7

Encourage moving into space after every pass and let groups make the decision.

Safety

• Keep the try-line areas clear.
• No diving.
• Score under control.
