The coach progresses the line out onto small units working together, adds in some competition and starts work with some five man options
Working in pods of three on speed & movement will help you win line outs. Players also develop better skills in order to play a better standard of rugby and help others around them. Another London Irish coaching resource
Using a coloured grid, pods of 3 can work on their timing and technique when moving before the lift. The coach calls which colour cone to jump from, so the players can learn to react quickly. Rotate jumpers so that players practice working in different pods.
Four lifting pods must hold their jumpers aloft long enough for them to pass a ball through the hands twice. Lifters should stand close together and try to lock-out their arms. Jumpers should maintain a strong core and keep their legs straight to make life easier for the lifters.
It may be that a light, athletic group of players focus on speed over technique, but a bigger group of players may focus on technique in order to maximise height.The tempo and tactics at the lineout needs to suit the player profiles.
A dynamic practise for speed and quality of lifting in lineouts. This exercise can be used for 15's and 7's and for different age groups. The coaches can vary the distance of the cones and progress to both lifters moving. Coaches can add some fun by making it a competition. Key factors : The jumper must jump - Core body strength - Keep body stiff and straight - Lifters work together - Lock out arms - Bring the jumper down safely
This game is also in the level 2 swatch (coaching the 15-a-side game).
When working with players actively lifting and jumping, it is most important to be sensitive to fatigue, primarily for safety reasons
This video initially shows the lift, bring down to the ground and bind of a lineout pod.
The video also illustrates safe and effective ways to introduce movement, lifting and jumping skills to youth players
This practice is a safe and enjoyable activity to develop the movement of the lifting pod and the accuracy of the throw
