In
Attack: The aim of the game is to score more
touchdowns than the opposition; this is achieved
by advancing towards the try line. At times
it can be tactically advantageous to move towards
the sideline to enable more room for further
attacking plays

In
Defence: When defending try to deny your opponents
time and space by moving forward and making
the touch. The faster you move up on the attacking
team the less advancement toward your try line
they will make.

Support
the Ball Carrier at all Times
a
Close
support of the ball carrier allows more options
in attack and means possession can be maintained.
Close support also means no ground needs to
be lost by having to pass the ball a long way
backwards to a team-mate. Remember a pass directly
sideways is allowed and can often be the most
effective pass
a
Interchange
players as much as possible
a
A
fresh set of legs on the field can be the difference
between winning and losing. Look to interchange
your players while on attack and in the area
of the interchange box. Once you have made a
touchdown it is good to get a whole new set
of players out there to keep up the intensity.
