| This week we show coaches how to teach young players the very important skill of how to correctly execute the swing pass. |
| " The swing pass is a very important factor in any rugby player's armour. The swing pass has become a short quick pass in modern rugby, while the torpedo pass is used for the longer passes. For that reason while executing the swing pass the ball must travel still, with no toll on the ball and that is why a player must learn the correct grip and wrist action. " - Jan Oberholzer |

| In this part of the exercise the young player must keep his elbows on his knees, so that he has to use the correct grip and wrist action to produce a still ball, with little toll on the ball. |
| In the last part of the exercise the young player swings his arms freely through his legs, while concentrating on his grip and wrist action to produce a still ball . |
