🌟 Coaching U13 Rugby: A Few Key Takeaways 🌟 Big thanks to Dursley U13 for letting me referee their match against Gloucester Spartans—a hard-fought game with a slippery ball! Observing youth games in different contexts offers endless insights that can help coaches shape their sessions more effectively. Here are a few learnings: 1️⃣ Position Realities: Few players at this level handle the demands of playing 9 effectively. But guiding them in that role can open doors to a faster, more dynamic game. 2️⃣ Ruck Dynamics: One solid defender can disrupt a two-player ruck more easily than you’d expect. As coaches, we need to plan ruck support strategies that set players up for success. 3️⃣ Free Kicks/Passes: Often, players find themselves stopped by the first point of contact without gaining much ground. Teaching players to use space effectively after a free kick is essential for maintaining momentum. The players adjusted as they went along, but our role as coaches is crucial. Setting realistic goals and focusing on simple, effective tactics helps this age group prosper. Give them achievable wins, and watch their confidence soar! 💪 #YouthRugby #CoachingTips #PlayerDevelopment #YouthSports #RugbyCoaching

Rugby Refereeing This year I completed my first full season refereeing rugby union. I refereed games from Under 13 to Under 18s, and some men's Sevens as well. Two highlights were being appointed to referee the Under 15 grand final last week and also the Under 15 Regionals in July. It was an experience full of challenges and hard work, but ultimately was immensely rewarding and enjoyable. My great thanks to the Western Australian Rugby Union Referees' Association team, and special gratitude to my referee coach and Premier Grade Referee, Ben Jones, who was a brilliant mentor for me in 2024 (pictured below at the GF). Thank you, Ben, for your patience and terrific support. Rugby is one complex game! The challenges of refereeing are manifold: learning the Laws; exercising judgement on when to get involved and when to stay out of the contest; being assertive at times and conciliatory at others; being physically fit; being prepared to be wrong and coping with being told how wrong you were about decisions; developing a deep understanding of the game; reading behaviour and actions of players and coaches; and of course, developing great communication. I made plenty of mistakes along the way and there is still so much more for me to learn. But I am so looking forward to continuing to improve in the years ahead. I have been very lucky to see great referees in action, and to learn from the best in our state. The year on field gave me some opportunities to reflect on the learning process which I will share in coming posts. Something I found myself saying often during the season was, "Refereeing can be great fun. But sometimes it is fun because it is enjoyable, and sometimes it is fun because it is hard." #education #referee #rugbyreferee #mentors #learning #warura #rugbywa #rugbyaustralia

Referees of ALL SPORTS 👋🚨 No matter what, at some point in time you will referee a game where either: 1️⃣• You have been/are apart of an organsitaion/club you are refereeing. 2️⃣• You know Coaches, Players, Parents/Guardians of a team you are refereeing. 3️⃣• You have Views/Opinions on Organsitaions/Clubs, Players & Coaches you are refereeing. But I must stress to the highest degree that no matter how tempting or peer pressure you get, YOU MUST NEVER EVER compromise your Professionalism, Be biased or let any personal preferences/opinions dictate your performance. I think that newly inexperienced referees are subject to fall into these bad habits but with experience these bad habits fade. Referees all have to start somewhere and the quicker they learn the better for themselves. Sport Referees, let me know what you think... ⬇️ #Referee #Sports #Coaches #Players #Parents #Professionalism #integrity #Football #Basketball #Hockey #Cricket #Rugby #Netball #Grassroots

**Dribbling and Ball Control Training in Football** Dribbling and ball control are fundamental skills for any football player aiming to improve their performance on the field. This training focuses on enhancing the ability to manage the ball under pressure and developing the techniques necessary to effectively bypass defenders. **Dribbling and Control Training:** 1. **Ball Control Drills:** Players start with exercises to control the ball using both feet, emphasizing short and precise touches. Using smaller balls can help in refining control. 2. **Dribbling Exercises:** These drills train players to maneuver past opponents using techniques like quick dribbles, feints, and spins. Training at different speeds and with defenders adds realism to these drills. 3. **Balance and Coordination Training:** Improving balance and coordination enhances a player's ability to change directions swiftly and efficiently during dribbles. Incorporating cones and hurdles in drills can help improve these skills. 4. **Small-Sided Games:** These games provide an effective way to apply the acquired skills in a game-like environment. Players are encouraged to use their dribbling and control skills during these matches. #Football #Soccer #WorldCup #UEFA #ChampionsLeague #PremierLeague #LaLiga #Bundesliga #SerieA #FIFA
