Tag Drills 1-Basic Attack/Defence
• Attack Skills
– Use speed and direction to pass single defender
– Run towards space
– Carry ball in 2 hands (watch for attacker pushing
defender away with the ball – this is illegal)
• Defender Aims
– Make yourself big
– Take as much ground from the attacker as possible,
move up the pitch
– Drive attacker to wing (extra ‘defenders’)
– Take TAG
Marlow RFC Under 7s
Tips
• Attacker can keep running if not tagged
• It is vital that the second attacker stays
behind the first
– Start #2 on one knee?
– Ensure the non-ball carrier can always see
the ball carriers back (T-Shirt logo, shirt
number etc etc)
