Rugby Kick
Used to kick off and restart games the drop kick is one of the most frequently used kicks in the game.
Rugby kick. One of the longest. The kick can travel forwards but any team mates in front of the ball at the moment the ball is kicked are out of play until either they retire behind the kicker or are played onside by a team mate. Theres no one specific way for players to kick the ball in a game of rugby. In fact players have a variety of kicking techniques to choose from depending on the situation.
Rugby kicking sends the ball into a grey area where neither team has control. Your team then has the best possible opportunity and may re gain possession. If a player chooses not to pass the ball to a team mate or run with it that player may kick the ball instead. From the drop kick to the up and under kick here are some of common types of kicks in rugby.
Retaining possession of the ball following a kick is a challenge. Rugby place kicking drills kicking along the try line from the touchline at a single goal post helps a goal kicker work purely on the fundamentals of the kick and the flight of the ball from the kicking tee. One way of doing this with rugby kicking is to kick the ball high.
