Combat Conditioning for Rugby 1

Over the last 17 years Combat Conditioning has formed an integral part of all Craig's programs working with teams such as the British and Irish Lions, Ireland, Wales, Wasps, and Leicester. Programs that have been the envy of other clubs and that many have copied.

There is no doubt that the many facets of combat within rugby are the most fatiguing aspects of the game. Many of the high intensity elements of the game are 'non-running' based.

Then why are we never taught the principles of Combat Conditioning and how to coach this area in any Sports Science Degree, Coaching Degree, or other Rugby Related Coaching Course?

Answer: This is a specialized area and often we don't know where to start or how to break it down in order to effectively coach it to our players. Many of us look to the purest combat sports such as wrestling and judo and attempt to implement this into our programs only to find that there is limited transfer and it is highly dangerous.

By attending this action packed workshop you will reap the following benefits:-

  1. Understand exactly why the area of combat conditioning is the 'King of Fatigue' in both Rugby League and Rugby Union.
  2. Understand how to break down combat conditioning into many sub components to make it easier to implement into your existing program
  3. Experience what it feels like to perform these drills yourself and coach them to others.
  4. Add to your coaching drills toolbox giving you more variety in your training prescription
  5. Learn how to safely coach these drills so that they may be done not only with senior players but also with children and youth players.

Whether you are a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, technical coach, defensive coach, or rugby player, this workshop will give you the tools to confidently improve combat conditioning in all of your players.
