Passing(rugby)

Question
Hi, I play scrum half for my school team and I was wondering if you could give
me a few tips on passing with my wrong hand.
Thanks, Charlie.

Answer
Hello Charlie

Slowly but surely is the answer here mate. Lots of practice.

A simple drill is to get a bag of balls and a buddy to pass to, or one ball and a "x" on a wall.

Make passes out to your distance of best accuracy and power. This distance may only be 5 feet but just find out the distance that you can pass to comfortably and consistently.

Next: at a step at time make the distance bigger. Never make a move out until you have mastered the new distance (say 8-10 passes in a row). Make 5 feet into 6 feet , into 7, 8, 9, 10...

It might take 2 or 3 1 hour sessions to comfortably increase your distance by 3 feet. But do not rush and allow that mistake will happen while improvement occurs.

Keep in mind: timing and accuracy are far more important than a "power" pass. In a game situation make sure you are not rushing.

See if a senior player or specialist coach will take the time to observe your pass and help correct any issues.
