Helped with the Basic's
I have utilised some of the training drills in this book to teach Tag Rugby, generally only 10-15% of the drills can be used with tag rugby, but most will be used next year in contact. A good book to start off with

Handy youth rugby book
A pretty good 'primer' for junior level coaches responsible for contact age groups up to the age of 16. It doesn't focus as much as I had hoped into some of the technical issues behind the drills nor does it comment on the RFU continuum and the differences between the age groups but a useful handbook nonetheless for coaches without their own bank of exercises.
