My step-by-step guide on how to perform the drop kick.\r
\r
A drop kick is used in both Rugby Union and Rugby League.\r
\r
In Rugby Union a drop kick is used at halfway when restarting gameplay after a score and is used as a 22m restart. It is also used as a drop goal in general gameplay when the ball is drop kicked through the goal posts successfully. This is worth 3 points. \r
\r
A drop kick is also used in the condensed version of rugby union, rugby 7s. Once again, half way restarts and 22m restarts are drop kicks. Conversion attempts are taken as drop kicks and are worth 2 points. Penalty goals are also taken as drop kicks and are worth 3 points.\r
\r
In Rugby League the drop kick is used as a goal line restart after the ball is forced by the defending team. It is also used as a drop goal in general gameplay when the ball is drop kicked through the goal posts successfully. This is worth 1 point. \r
\r
So obviously the drop kick is an important skill to have on hand and it is important to price so that you can feel confident when faced with a situation in a real game. \r
One of the most fun things I can do for free is to go down to the park and have kicks to a mate through the posts, and thats counted as price.\r
\r
Cheers guys.
