Individual Home Skills & Conditioning Programme - Week 1
11th January 2021
The Munster Rugby Development Department have designed a weekly individual training programme aimed at U13s up (including adults) during the current Level 5 restrictions.
A weekly plan will be shared over the coming weeks to help support players and assist in keeping them active. This plan is most suitable for those involved in the 15-a-side game.
Keep an eye on munsterrugby.ie/domestic over the coming days as we will be rolling out content to keep the Minis active during the current lockdown.
Please visit the Coaching Children Playlist (U7-U12) on our YouTube channel for previous videos and content from the last 12 months.
The below plan is a sample weekly schedule for home skills and conditioning.
Further home skill and other coach development resources can be accessed through the coach development section of our website here.
