Scrumhalf Passing Drills

Scumhalf Passing Drills

Scrumhalf's most important role is to deliver the ball off the ground to a receiver, usually the fly-half or a charging forward.  These drills work on the quick delivery off the ground and incorporates a modest amount of fitness.

For a much more detailed instructional about technique and drills, see this 47-minute video of scrumhalf drills from Nigel Melville former England Scrumhalf and now part of USA Rugby.

Key Points:

• • Wide base with line from heel to heel parallel to passing line.

  • Start with ball close to rear foot

  • Sweep the ball for quicker delivery (avoid 'picking up' the ball) 

  • 'Frame' the ball as your follow through to increase accuracy
