DRILLS TAG RUGBY: Running backwards in line (7m)

About the importance of running back agility

Running backward requires more effort in terms of movement because it is more difficult to move from one point to another. This effort also results in greater cardiovascular efficiency and increased stamina. Because of this, running backward may help improve your times when you’re running forward with the ball.

Don’t take our word for it but running backwards dates back in history and not something new. It is thought to have evolved in China where an ole saying still stands ‘a hundred steps backwards are worth a thousand steps forward’. It simply helps to restore balance. It’s seen in many sports from rugby to badminton AND especially NFL.

For tag and touch players running back has to be strong and quick, but most of all agile. For the defence, running back needs agility to be able to get back in line enough so that the attackers don’t reset quicker and catch you off guard. They also need their agility to sweep in case there is a kick through.

Ways to set up a drill:

  1. Set up cone lines 7m apart.
  2. Set up cones at a predetermined distance apart for each player to stand (optimal to be the width of pitch and amount of players)
  3. Set up cones colour coded for clarity and instruction using visuals.
  4. Begin with the coach starting on the first line of cones moving players back wards. As they reach the cone they clap to discipline listening and sync.
