Munster Rugby School Of Excellence Gets Underway

The inaugural Munster Rugby School of Excellence is now underway with over 100 players experiencing a week in the life of a professional rugby player at Rockwell College this week (Monday 12 – Friday 16 August).

The residential and non-residential camp will provide a structured rugby development programme which includes core skill development, game understanding, position specific workshops, appropriate strength and conditioning training and teamwork.

Rugby skills and understanding will be a focus for the week through a game sense and technical excellence approach, delivered by a coaching team made up of current provincial and national age-grade team coaches.

Players, aged 13-16, will also receive education in mental preparation, nutrition and video analysis which are all vital for the up and coming stars of the future.

Munster’s Head of Rugby Development Ultan O’Callaghan provides a mental skills talk to the players.
