CCC Experience
The course is intended to help you gain the confidence and competence to physically prepare the players in your charge in a safe
and enjoyable manner for the game of rugby. The course will not
make you ‘instantly qualified’ in the area of strength and conditioning - it is an introductory course for those wishing to increase
their knowledge base in the area of strength and conditioning and
develop their coaching skills.
The course also serves as a strong networking opportunity to help
you develop a relationships with like-minded coaches that you can
engage with throughout your career.
While there are theory based elements of the course, the course is
primarily a practical, hands-on course where you will see and
practice the many drills and exercises that are appropriate for
conditioning rugby players at all levels.
