Video-Handling Skills: The Basic Lateral Pass

 

In this video Australian specialist backs coach Barry Honan teaches the most basic of all Rugby skills - the lateral pass.

He argues that any attempt to develop a 15 man game without highly developed passing and handling skills is impossible.

As a physics graduate with a particular interest in mechanics, Barry presents clear reasons for teaching every aspect of the lateral passing technique.

“It doesn’t matter how you pass as long as you find the target”
“How many times have I heard this and shuddered? If a player with poor technique can achieve 90% success with his or her pass, then even I would hesitate to change things. However, this is rarely the case.

“The point is that an occasional poorly executed pass may very well find its target, but the aim is to have players understand and develop passing skills that will ensure a high percentage of passes achieve the desired result.”

In this video, Barry works with an under 15 rugby squad from Kelvin Grove High School in Brisbane. Most of the players were relative new to the game and the lateral passing methods employed by many of them, as shown in the introduction to the video, were varied and often technically flawed.

Barry shows how to correct those flaws and get your handling up to speed.
