Here we highlight the importance of functional movement and core exercises in developing a stronger, more athletic Rugby player. Including a quick circuits routine.
A rugby ready style warm up with games and handling as they focus prior to moving on to more technical skills. The game centres around the teams trying to make 10 passes
The warm-up is an essential part of training and match preparation. Here's an example from Harlequins Academy on how to prepare for a handling session.
A development of the 2 v 1 and 3 v1 drills, the attackers now must beat 2 defenders. This requires more decision-making ability as the movements of the defenders could change every time. Players must communicate as well as continue to perform their handling and running skills.
Ben Mann from Northampton saints delivers a simple warm up that includes lots of movement and dynamic activities to increase blood flow in preparation for the main training session. Coaches can use lots of similar practises to keep children moving and engaged
The coach uses small sided games with progressions as part of the players warm up with a focus on the stretches that are related to kicking. Moving between the games and dynamic stretches keeps the players motivated, active and gets the blood flowing
This exercise can be used as part of a general warm up or specifically in preparation for contact. It can be fun but also physically demanding and good for conditioning. Younger players may benefit from the confidence of ground contact prior to learning how to tackle
