Rugby 101: Learning Passes and Scrums with a Women's Rugby Team

Rugby Passing Techniques

• 💡 A dominant passing hand is typically used, with grip on the back of the ball and a guide hand.
• 🚀 The pass starts from the hip and requires pushing forward, aiming to spin the ball like a football.
• 🎯 A spin pass can travel far and hard, while a push pass is for shorter distances.
• 💬 A pop pass is a quick, close-range pass that allows the receiver to immediately take off.

Rugby Rules and Safety

• ⚠️ Players are warned that injuries like cuts and black eyes are a right of passage in rugby.
• ⬅️ Rugby passes can only be made laterally or backwards, never forwards.

Rugby 101 Clinic

• 🏉 A rugby clinic is available for individuals with or without prior experience to learn passing and the laws of the game.
• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 The clinic is open to anyone 18 years of age or older.

Understanding the Scrum

• 🏋️ To perform a scrum, players squat down and hug their opponents in a specific formation.
• 🤝 The objective is to push forward against the opposing team.
• 💨 Speed and technique are important for effective scrummaging and passing.
