Multidirectional Rugby Training
ByBack in July I talked about training the core and showed a video of Mike Ferrandino, the Leeds University fitness conditioner performing a few core exercises ideal for rugby training. I received some really positive feedback from amateur coaches on adding this to their training sessions and how it’s now a major part of there sessions.
This type of training is ESSENTIAL in the modern game and coaches not implementing this into their sessions will slowly be left behind the pack not to mention have a squad of players who cannot adapt to the faster dynamics of modern rugby training.
Here’s a great, simple video by Danny McAllister that will;
- significantly reduce injury risk
- help increase confidence
- help players performance
- build variety and enthusiasm into your sessions

Enjoy your rugby

Using tyres to improve your rugby players’ core fitness levels is another fun addition to training sessions. They’re good for weight lifting practice, dodging and footwork skills as part of an obstacle course and you can use them for wrestling plinths to work balancing skills.
