Junior Practice Plan Series
(Recommended for U8 - U13)
The following practice plans have been constructed to allow a SMALL BLACKS coach to follow a sequential plan through a season of rugby (15 practice plans). Although these plans are only a guide, they do however have several important features.
- Skills and drills are repeated because you do not want a new skill and drill every week. Practice makes perfect!
- Each individual skill has three practice plans. A coach should not start with practice plan 3 for example. The coach should always start at practice plan
- Coaches can easily move unit skills and team skills around to suit their individual team circumstances.
Note: Every plan is an individual plan, therefore it is difficult to prescribe skills and drills for a team that you are unfamiliar with.

Coaching Toolbox
Rugby coaching has moved from the rugby paddock to cyberspace - with the launch of a new information-packed website for New Zealand's rugby coaches.
The website is www.coachingtoolbox.co.nz and it contains a wide range of coaching resources including rugby skills and drills relevant to all levels of the game. It also features bonus material including kicking demonstrations by New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) specialist skills coach Mick Byrne and advice about scrum techniques from NZRU specialist scrum coach Mike Cron. To use this free toolbox service you must be a NZRU registered coach.
