Built for rugby league athletes who want to perform on game day, the 1Team In-Season Performance Program is a 10-week, game-centred S&C system designed to maintain strength, maximise power, and minimise fatigue. With just 2 gym sessions per week (≤55 mins), it uses proven methods like high-intensity low-volume lifting, VBT, and PAP to keep you strong, explosive, and fresh all season. Structured across 3 progressive blocks (Strength → Power → Sharpness) and aligned to your match schedule, this program ensures you’re primed to perform when it matters most.
