Unleash your child's athletic potential with our Thrive Rugby Training Programme.

Two full training sessions per week including mobility & co-ordination warm ups, plyometrics, power, lower/ upper body & core strength exercises. 

One conditioning session - mixture of on feet and off feet conditioning. 

One mobility and recovery session.

All exercises and movements have a detailed video tutorial and each athlete will have access to a private group to ask any questions to make sure they are doing the movements correctly. 

The Thrive Rugby programme has been developed by both a Strength & Conditioning coach and Physiotherapist to ensure that not only are you hitting your performance goals but ensuring you stay on the field as well. 

Reduce Risk of Injury

It's well established in research that strength training significantly reduces the risk of injury in youth.

Improved Performance

Our programme is designed to increase strength, power, speed and overall increase performance on the pitch!

Private Educational Group

We believe educating the athlete is fundamental for their development. So our weekly videos cover topics in the community to educate the athletes on all things training and performance!

Bonus Access

Each member will be invited to in-person masterclasses and testing days to refine movements, obtain baseline assessments, and track performance scores.
