In your training pod, teams can be divided up at the start. Example 7 vs 7.
Rotating between activities and games will keep the players engaged and active.
Coaches can have activities/pitches set up beforehand so players can move easily between zones.
With all RFC sessions our main aim is happy players involved in the session.

Engaged
• Coaches use a mixture of open ended questions to establish what the players know. “What are we doing well?”
“What do you see?”
“Can anyone tell me what we should do when.......?”
“Who is doing it well at the moment?” “What could we do differently?”
Having fun
