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
