Lineouts in this grade are uncontested but we recommend that all lineouts are thrown in straight and the jumper does attempt to jump for the ball. The objective is to develop the skill but still ensure possession for the team throwing in. There is no lineout lifting.

KEY FACTORS:

1. Understand options.
2. Drive upward.
3. Eyes on ball.
4. Soft hands.
5. Controlled delivery.

At this grade, the lineout should be seen as a restart of play. Jumping at this grade is an important hand-eye coordination skill and should be encouraged.

COMMON ERRORS:

1. Snatching at ball.
2. Mistimed jump.
3. Misunderstood call.
