Rugby Knowledge
Not all strength coaches understand the unique demands and skills rugby players need to excel. Rugby is a growing sport in the U.S. and within the Strength and Conditioning world, yet specialized training remains limited. Boston Rugby is here to bridge the gap—helping players build strength, resilience, and performance tailored specifically for the game.
