Preseason Speed is designed with all the components associated with speed on the field in mind. Acceleration, change of direction, max velocity and conditioning are essential components we see in many field sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League & AFL. This 12 week program will take out the guess work for you and provide structured speed training over 2 sessions each week, with the additional session focused on conditioning.
