Throughout the week players completed skills, weights and speed sessions and completed modules in Sports Psychology, Nutrition, Weight Lifting Analysis, Core & Flexibility and Game appreciation. The Munster squad professional Senior Fitness advisors in both Cork and Limerick gave up their valuable time to take sessions during the week exposing the players to all their experience and expert advice.

The week proved to be an enormous success, players enjoyed the camp thoroughly and gained invaluable technical and tactical advice to assist in their rugby development. It was also a fantastic opportunity for the players to experience the life of a professional rugby player and a fantastic opportunity for staff to identify potential talent.

The students were also fortunate to observe Munster and Irish Internationals training and also had a question and answer session with Denis Leamy and Donncha OCallaghan in Cork.

The Transition year training week will become an annual initiative and in conjunction with ongoing work at U15 and U16 level will be a significant help in developing our younger players.  By reducing the age at which we work with young players we can expect to see a stronger, faster, more powerful and more skillful player wearing the red jersey in the future.
