Never ceases to amaze me at how many dormant elite RL coaches we have on this forum. Truly staggering.'"
Not defending the post by HFC Boy, because it's a ridiculous comment to make.
But, how do you know who's an RL Coach and who's not? I bet there's plenty of RL Coaches on here.
Passing and catching are fundamental's of Rugby League, I'd be getting them to play Rugby League with a tennis ball.
A lot harder to catch (with 2 hands) than a normal size Rugby ball.
Kicking a ball is not brought in nowadays until you're 12 (I think). But you go watch younger teams train or have a game, what's the first thing they want to do when they get there? Kick a ball up in the air. Do the coaches stop them? No. Why? It's a fundamental in certain aspects of Rugby League.
The team I help out coach are Under 10's, but during the sessions we get them to kick a ball. We've got calls in place ready for when we can kick.
First thing we do at a training session is ball in hand and pass down a line. Some are good passers of the ball, some are bad. But they can only get better. One of them will be a great player (whether that be professional or amateur).'"
True, there maybe many RL coaches on here, with myself included. But to question the coaching brought from the Aussi Assistant is, like you say, ridiculous comment.
To any current SL coaches on this forum, I apologise.
