The main sanction in rugby league is the penalty. Referees have the right to issue penalties for deliberate violations. Penalties can be given for many offenses including offside or dumped tackle as well as kick to touch. In this article we'll discuss the different types and penalties in rugby.
Rugby: Offside Penalty
In rugby, a player who is on the wrong side of the offside line is penalized with an offside penalty. This means that he must move back onside, and rejoin play behind the teammate he was offside from. The offsideline is an imaginary line that runs parallel the goal-line and passes through a player's hindmost foot in front.
Both players and referees can abuse the penalty. Its usage is often questioned which has led to an increase on retribution. Although rugby players generally understand the offside rule, officials may apply it inconsistently. A visual aid is helpful in explaining the rule for players.
Rugby scrum penalty
A scrum penalty in rugby refers to a penalty where the ball is kicked forwards and not backwards. A scrum offense is committed when a player kicks the ball backwards towards the opposing try line. This is a common offense in rugby.
You can use the penalties to offset a knock on penalty, a line out penalty or a penalty goal. In the latter case, the kicker might try a try or corner kick. In rugby, a scrum penalty can result in a maul which leads to a try.
Rugby: Dump tackle penalty
Rugby referees have been putting more emphasis on illegal tackles in recent years. This tackle can lead to head and neck contact. Referees are also looking for mitigating factors when assessing whether a player has committed an illegal tackle. These may include a player's head coming down before the tackle is made or a player sliding up to the opponent's head.
Dump tackle is an illegal tackle in which the tackler lifts a player with the ball and then drives him to the ground using his arm. It's also illegal if the tackler brings a player to a ground with his head or neck below the legs. Rugby Union considers this dangerous play and referees must assign a yellow- or red-card to the tackle.
Kick to touch penalty in rugby
A kick to touch penalty is a penalty which stops play once a player has touched the ball. The ball must be at least two feet higher than the penalty-kicking player. It may also be awarded for high tackles, foul language, tripping, or kicking the ball when a teammate is on the ball. If a player repeats the same infraction, he or she may receive a red card. To avoid receiving a second red card, the team must refrain from repeating the same infraction.
A kick-to-touch penalty in rugby is a penalty that occurs when a ball crosses one of two touchlines. If the ball crosses the sideline or dead-ball line, different rules apply. Kick to touch is not an intentional act. The kick to touch penalty always leads to a negative score for each team. A kick-to-touch must be taken from one's hand, not the punt. You can pass backwards, however, to be able to kick to touch a penalty.

Use your legs to push the ground with your back leg, while pulling your front leg forward and your front leg up. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you reach the speed desired, you can let your legs relax. Repeat the process if you need to slow it down.
Once you are able to stop yourself falling into the ground and you have figured out how to stop it, you can determine how fast your goal speed is. There are many ways to measure speed.

Practice makes perfect!
