IRFU Fitness Seminar: Leinster

This workshop will be aimed at rugby coaches working at all levels but is open to coaches from all sports. The seminar will be held in the main function room at St. Mary’s College RFC.

Last year’s seminar was very successful and was attended by over 70 coaches. This year more presenters and different topics have been added to the line-up. The topics that will be covered are as follows:

Topic 1 – ‘How to develop speed in our players‘
Presenter: Des Ryan (IRFU fitness education manager)

Topic 2 – ‘Introducing Olympic lifting as a training tool’
Presenter: Sami Dowling (Leinster Rugby NTP fitness coach)

Topic 3 – Leinster Rugby Academy, ‘Strategies used to physically develop rugby union players‘
Presenter: Tom Turner (Leinster Rugby Academy fitness coach)

The seminar will be of great use to coaches who would like to know what is the most appropriate and practical method to develop their players.

Also, the seminar is ideal for coaches who would like to introduce something new and challenging to their training.

The seminar is open to any coaches, especially those from Leinster and the surrounding area. Similar workshops have been run and will be run in the Connacht, Leinster and Ulster areas.
