GBR 12U Recap

    This week at practice the team continued to work on our offensive passing skills through five lines and 2 on 1 drills. In five lines, the players work on calling for the ball, catching and passing, and becoming more comfortable running onto the ball. The 2 on 1 drill focuses on the offense finding separation so the defense cannot guard both players.  Defensive progression would get attention in our controlled scrimmage as we split the teams backs vs forwards.

    The team took on Mother Lode and River City this weekend winning both matches. Forward of the week is Claire K. who was consistently involved in offensive ruck support, launching up on defense to make tackles, and had a try against RC. Back of the week is Trevor H. for improving his communication at scrum half, transferring the ball out of the ruck, and beating defenders for long scores against ML. The Rugger of the week is Brody W. for multiple try’s, chosen as Forward of the Match by both opponents, and improved his pouching skills. 

Focus Points this Week

Offense: Review pod’s and ruck support into tackle.

Defense: Tackling at the hip and setting the defensive line.

Team: Reinforce all the skills developed throughout the season and finish strong!
