Attack, Catch and Pass

Run Catch and Pass in Reality

Executing catch and pass is a dynamic, game-driven skill — so it needs to be developed in realistic contexts.

Former Canadian international and attack/defence coach Phil Mack presents this Catch and Pass skills series, focusing on game-based situations and how these fundamentals connect directly into attacking structures.

Practical, progressive, and designed to reflect the real demands of match play.

Build anticipation not reaction! In Part 3 of his Attack Series, Phil Mack shifts the focus to building a collective approach to attacking decision-making. His objective is clear: players must work together to identify where the space is and move collectively to exploit it. This highly effective, game-simulating activity is widely used across rugby programs and can be adapted to suit your specific coaching objectives — involving both sides of the ball.
