Catch and Pass

Run, Catch and Passing Waves

Level: all

Passing waves have long been a valuable method for developing players’ running, catching, and passing skills — from newcomers through to professional players.

However, to be truly effective, they must be delivered with purpose and a clear focus on skill development.

In this 3-part series, Rugby Site founder Brendon Ratcliffe presents the key technical elements and practical progressions in his three-part Run, Catch and Pass series.

To further progress your players’ development, follow this series with Dave Ellis’ “Assessing Passing Waves” series.
