Battersea Ironside U11's Lockdown Challenge
About This Competition
Let’s face it, we’re all missing rugby. So, in these strange and unprecedented times it is more important than ever that we stay connected - albeit virtually. So, we are setting up the Battersea Ironside U11’s Lockdown Challenge.
With the only place to practice rugby now in your own home, garden or out in the park, it can be quite hard to find motivation or variety. On 1st May we are launching the Battersea Ironside U11’s Home Challenge. - a bit of friendly competition with a Live! Leader board and chance to win some great prizes. This will be a series of 5 rugby-based skill challenges over 10 days.
This will be FREE to enter for all Battersea Ironside Under 11’s and their parents/carers/coaches. As the core values of our great sport include respect and discipline, we will be working on an honesty system and trust everyone will enter accurate scores and complete movements correctly. However, we do encourage you to film the workouts and put them on Insta stories (@ironside11challenge) so we can give any feedback, encouragement and re-share your effort and spread the positive vibes.
Prize awards will be based on participation and demonstrating rugby's core values rather than your challenge ranking. (Hint - sharing your challenges on Instagram will increase your chances of prizes)

At a time when health should be paramount, please ensure you read the signs of your body. If you are feeling unwell at all, please do not take part in these challenges.

Workouts
Mark out a small pitch 5m in length (If you don’t have a tape measure, 5 long strides of an adult should do it). You’ll also need a passing partner.
Start the clock and count the reps…………..
0-1 minute - The player starts on the ground with his chest on the floor, gets up and runs to the end of the 5m pitch. During this run, the player’s partner will pass the ball which needs to be caught and passed back to the partner. Once the catch and return pass have been completed, the player reaches the end of the 5m pitch and hits the floor with his chest on the ground. He gets back to his feet and returns back to the other end of the pitch completing a catch and pass. If a pass is dropped, the player needs to retrieve the ball and start again with the catch and pass
1-2 minutes - There will then be one minute’s rest.
2-3 minutes - The player will resume his shuttle runs with catch and pass.
3-4 minutes - There will then be one minute’s rest.
4-5 minutes - The player will resume his shuttle runs with catch and pass.
The score will be the total number of shuttle-runs completed during the 5 mins.
Hint - You will get tired and the biggest loss of time will be inaccurate passing. Slow down to speed up!
Start the clock……………..the player will start the challenge with a ‘buy-in’ of 60 alternating shoulder taps. Starting in a press up position with shoulders over his hands, the player must lift his hands alternately to tap the opposite shoulder. The body must be kept as still as possible, not rotating the hips.
Once the shoulder taps are complete, the player will then need to make 50 passes against a wall from a distance of one metre way. (Hopefully you can measure this accurately but if not you should know 1m by now through your practise of social distancing!!) If you drop the ball, it does not count as a completed pass.
Your score will be the total time taken to complete the shoulder taps and the 50 passes.
If you don’t have a rugby ball at home, then use a football but to ensure it remains a challenge, you’ll need to be 2 metres away from the wall. If you don’t have a football, use Mum’s favourite flower vase (JOKE – don’t do that!!!!)
Start the clock and count your reps………………
0 – 1 minute - The player completes as many rugby burpees as possible. The player starts stood up with a rugby ball in hand, he will then drop to the floor. Once the chest hits the floor, he will let go of the ball and roll to the left and onto his back. He will then roll back to the ball (on his front) and get back to his feet and lift the ball over his head with a jump. That is one rep completed. He will then repeat but, this time, roll to the right before rolling back to the centre and onto his feet. He will continue repeating until one minute has elapsed.
1-2 minutes - There will then be one minute’s rest.
2-3 minutes - The player will resume his rugby burpee exercise for a further minute, completing as many reps as possible.
3-4 minutes - There will then be one minute’s rest.
4-5 minutes - The player will resume his rugby burpee exercise for a further minute, completing as many reps as possible.
The score will be the total number of rugby burpees completed during the 5 minutes.
The clock starts, count your reps.
The player completes 5 butterfly sit ups. Soles of feet must be together, and the player must touch the ground behind their head and in front of their toes to complete a rep.
Once the butterfly sit ups are complete, the player kicks ball to himself, catches it and dots the ball down on the ground, then repeating 5 times. If the ball is dropped, it is not counted as a rep and the player will need to reattempt the kick. After five kicks are complete, the player starts again with the 5 sit ups followed by 5 further kicks. This is repeated as many times as possible in 4 mins.
The score is the total number of kicks. (Do not count the sit ups)
