Lesson Content

(Individual task structure, differentiation)

(Content & KTP)

Keepy Off
The objective is to maintain possession
of the ball without interference or
interception and aim to reach 10
consistent passes within the team
Extension/Progression
Divide two teams into four teams and
organise a second playing area in
which a bibs team plays against a nonbibs team
Rotate through playing teams so teams
play each other
Teacher should facilitate one game and
allocate a responsible student to
facilitate the other
This encourages maximum
participation and ensures everyone
gets a touch

1. Starting in one
grid, the whole
class is involved
in the same game
2. Class is divided
into two even
teams, bibs and
non-bibs, and one
team is distributed
bibs
3. One team starts
with possession of
the ball
4. Objective is to
maintain
possession of the
ball without
interference or
interception and
aim to reach 10
consistent passes
within the team
5. When interception
occurs possession
of the ball is
turned over to the
other team

One playing area is set up, 15x15, for

the entire class activity and then
extends out to two playing areas,
smaller 10x10 areas.
Teacher should oversee the whole
class activity and then allocate a
responsible student to oversee one of
the two games being played in the
extension.

Bridging organization

Instruct students to return all equipment to the equipment area

Students should be partnered by the teacher numbering off 1-16 on the bibs team and 1-16 on the non-bibs
team

Students are to find their partners and should be instructed to grab one marker and one ball between two

Students with the marker should stand in line with the teacher and space themselves evenly apart in the line
from the people next to them and place down their marker

The other partner should be standing opposite their partner approximately 5m away

Teacher is to demonstrate the drill and students to commence once understanding is clear

Skill Practice- Passing

The aim of this drill is for students to
practice their touch rugby pass.
Students may practice the three
identified techniques and establish a
technique that works best for them
personally.
Students should practice with their
preferred and non-preferred hands
practicing the skill and preparing for
game scenarios.
Extension/Progression

3min

Once students have made progression

and demonstrate confidence in rugby
passing teacher may instruct students
to change hands and use less

1. Students are put

in partners and
face each other
with one ball
between the pair
2. In partners
students are to
practice passing a
rugby ball to one
another
3. Everyone faces
the same direction
to begin (side on)
4. Continuous
passing from this
position until the
teacher instructs
students to stop
and face the
opposite way

In pairs students will stand opposite

each other approximately 5m apart.
Teacher should walk around offering
feedback, advice and encouragement
to assist students skill development
and progression.

time a successful pass is made one
partner is to take a step backwards.
Objective is to continue passing and
practice over further distances. Once
confident passing long distances with
their preferred hands, students may
also attempt throwing over further
distances with non-preferred hand.

Bridging organization

Students will be instructed to move their equipment from the playing area back to the equipment area

Pairs should partner up with another pair to form a group of 4

Within the groups students need 1 ball

While students move into groups of 4, teacher is to set up two playing areas, with 4 markers diagonally
spaced as starting positions for the first group and other groups to line up behind

Once in groups of 4 and possession of 1 ball between groups, students should evenly distribute themselves
between the two playing areas

Teacher is to demonstrate the drill and students to commence once understanding is clear

Skill Progression- Passing on the

Move
The objective of this activity is to extend
the passing technique to passing on the
move.

1. Students in their
partners will pair
up with another
pair to form a line
of four players

Students in their already established

pairs will pair up again with the group
closest to them and form a line of 4.

2. One ball between

the group of four
will start on the
left side

Moving down the field or designated

playing area students will practice
passing in a game like scenario
focusing on their preferred technique,
passing backwards and not dropping
the ball.

3. Player 1 moves
forward and
passes the ball
backwards to
player 2
4. Player 2 moves
forward and
passes the ball to

Students line up in lines of 4 behind

one another.
Markers will be set out to distinguish
the positions students should be
starting at and finishing in.
Teacher should be walking around
perimeter of the playing area offering
feedback, advice and encouragement
to students.

Extension/Progression
Progression from a walking pace to a
slow jog, to a sprinting pace.
Each time the ball makes it from one
end to the other rotate the direction the
ball travels by starting the ball on the
same side, so students practice
throwing on the run with their left and
right hands.

6. When moving
back from
perimeter to
perimeter the ball
will start at the
same side to allow
students to
practice passing
with both hands
7. Rotate through
positions so each
player gets to
experience each

balls except 1 to the equipment area

Students move back into their original teams, bibs and non-bibs

Attacking and defending teams are decided and students move to positions on the field, 10 students on the
