Turbo Touch

Divide the group into two even teams, a non bib and bib team. Assign half the court each with scoring zones at ends of the court marked out by cones in a rectangular shape (ensure this zone covers the width right to the boundary lines). One team will start with the rugby ball at half way and work their way toward their teams scoring zone through a combination of running and passing. Once close enough, the player in posession of the rugby ball can run past the line of cones into the zone (without being tagged) to score. One point will be awarded. However if team mate "A" runs inside the scoring zone and team mate "B" passes it to them and is caught, two points will be awarded. If the rugby ball is kicked to a team mate inside the scoring zone and is caught, three points will be awarded. Each team will have five "tags" to score, if unsuccessful and are tags are used then a turnover in possession will occur. Once a team scores, the opposing team will have possession of the rugby ball and start from halfway attempting to score at their teams zone.

RULES:

- Players can pass in any direction they choose (no offsides OR forward passes) whether it be forward, backward, sideways, diagonally to team mates
- Players will have the opportunity to kick the ball but only on the final "tag"
- If the rugby ball is dropped by a player trying to catch it inside the score zone, a turn over will occur
- No defenders are allowed inside the scoring zone - they can goose guard in front of the zone
- There will be no tackling or ripping the rugby ball free froom a play in possession of it
- Defenders can intercept the rugby ball as another means of creating a turnover
- When a player with the rubgy ball gets tagged by a defender, they must stop running, roll the ball between their feet on the spot to a team mate that will pick it up and pass (depending on the age - can always alternatively have the player tap the rugby ball with their foot then pass instead of rolling betwwen their feet).
