YOUR RUGBY CAREER STARTS HERE!

This professionally developed programme is aimed at the age group U/11 – U/17 players learning a new position and transitioning from junior rugby into a more structured version of the game.

The fundamental knowledge and skill required for a position, interpretation of coach gameplans, mastering an understanding of the age-appropriate fitness and conditioning are the building blocks to becoming a professional rugby player.

Across these age groups, rugby becomes more competitive and scouts are already looking out for talent that is exceptional. The risk of injury also increases exponentially as competition increases, and therefore it is imperative to start focusing on physical strength and conditioning that is also position specific.

All Coaches are World Rugby Level 2 certified and led by World Rugby Level 3 professional senior coaches at every Institute, with a collective over one hundred years of rugby coaching experience at national and provincial level.

The programme’s position specific training is focussed to coach the understanding of the primary and secondary roles and responsibilities. Players confidence will be built to enable them to lead in their age group as an innovative, well-conditioned, thought-provoking pioneers.

Conditioning Captain

The concept of conditioning should be associated with the underpinning understanding of being the fittest and strongest on the field. The fitness and conditioning coaches will teach and coach the fundamental understanding of why fitness and conditioning are important to not only reduce the risk of injury but to assist the player to become fitter, better and stronger.
