This 12-week training program is built for young rugby players aged 12–15 who want to get stronger, faster, and more athletic for the game. It focuses on full-body strength, proper movement technique, coordination, and injury prevention.
With 3 sessions per week, the program builds a solid base of strength and fitness, starting with simple exercises and progressing into more challenging, sport-specific movements. It’s a great foundation for players looking to improve their physical performance on the field.

Verified Athlete"When I started with Rugby Strength, I was weak and underweight for my position. Following Rory's programs has made a huge difference to my physique and game. I am now 12kg heavier and the strongest I have been. I am still following the program today!"
Max Barry

Verified Athlete"Having played sport at a high level, the gym has been part of my life for 10+ years. Before Rory’s programs, I lacked variety and motivation and saw little progress. Rugby Strength’s affordable, structured plan keeps training exciting and helps me hit my goals faster than ever."
