How do I motivate a rugby team to be full of spirit?

Community Answer

When they lose, motivate them by pointing out that they have learned more tricks to defeat their opponent in the future. Always listen to input from each of your team members - it makes them feel valued and respected, which in turn can increase motivation and team spirit.

What are the tricks of becoming a good rugby flanker?

Community Answer

Good vision off the scrum, explosiveness, and a good tackle drive are key. Keep your head up at all times when in the scrum and alert your players once the ball is live.

Question

How can females overcome getting tackled and become good players?

Community Answer

It's the same for both females and males. If you're strong in the carry it means you'll get over the gain line and provide quick ball for your team, but if tackling is something you can't deal with then you're playing the wrong sport.

Question

How do I play wing in rugby?

Community Answer

Wing is in the back, meaning you will have to run really fast and have great endurance. Just read through this article for how to train as a wing.

Question

Why do I not play as well on different wings in rugby?

Community Answer

You have better sides of your body that you prefer. For example, you prefer writing with your right hand instead of your left. Just like how you like receiving the ball from different sides.

Question

When is the best time to train for rugby?

Community Answer

Train for rugby all year round, not only during rugby season. You can spend time working on your throws and doing other types of things, like swimming or going to the gym to keep working your mucles all year round. If you stop doing so, you will probably notice a serious effect and you also will most likely not be it fit when rugby season does come around.

Question

How can I be effective in rugby if I'm small?

Community Answer

Sometimes being small can be an advantage, because it is quite difficult to tackle someone who is short and fast. Just work on your speed and footwork and you will be able to step around other players, even if they are double your height.

Question

How can I get better at stepping by other opponents in rugby?

Community Answer

Always read the opponent's body, be smart and cautious. Try your best to read the way they are going to tackle you and which way they're going. Try to make them think you are going one way but go the other side in a sneaky fast way. This is where footwork is helpful.
