Pre-Season Training Plan 2007
MAKE IT FUN – ENJOYMENT IS THE KEY. REMEMBER: It’s
a very long season
Whatever level you are coaching at you will need to have
a clear plan for your pre-season schedule. Write this down and
share it with your fellow coaches and players. This plan will
allow you to see how your team is progressing towards the first
game and allow the players to review what has been achieved so
far and what you have planned in future sessions.
Over the coming weeks, www.coachingrugby.com will look to help you
design and deliver your 2007 pre-season training programme. We will
supply you with some ideas as to how you should design your programme,
what you should look to include in your sessions and how to develop
progressions and build up skills, how to deliver and organise your
sessions and help you get an organised and effective team on the
field for your first game.
Our basic plan will be to divide the weekly sessions as follows:
First session: we will focus on skills and conditioning
Second session: we will focus on contact and unit skills
This will give your players time to recover from the minor
bumps and bruises that can occur and allow for greater involvement.
Your training plan will need to include all the elements necessary
to put an organised team on the field for your first game. Not
the finished article.
Key factors during pre-season
Don’t push the players too hard too soon
Don’t try and cover too much too soon
Encourage individual players to take ownership of their fitness
and conditioning so you can concentrate on coaching rugby skills
Make it fun
In a typical club environment pre-season training will start
in the first week of July and will run until the first week
in September. You might also have a pre-season training camp
and a number of practise matches.
It is very unlikely that all your players will attend all the
sessions. To help manage this situation effectively, it would
be a good idea to produce a summary of each session.
The coaching sessions will generally be Monday / Wednesday
or Tuesday / Thursday and last approx 1hr 45mins to 2hrs. This
means you will only have a maximum of 16 sessions or 32 hours
to organise your team for their first meaningful game.
