*Where’s the Catch



Dear Rugby Coach,


Do you sometimes struggle for fresh coaching ideas?


Do you find yourself going over the same routine, week in week out?


Or do you run out of preparation time, and give your players less than

they deserve?

“A really useful and easy to use coaching tool”

Roger Uttley OBE, Former England captain and coach and British Lions assistant coach

Whether you are coaching

beginners or experienced

players, you probably have to

devote a large proportion of

your valuable time to

researching new ideas.

A weekly coaching session – by email


Here's a solution!


Let me and my team do the hard work for you.


Imagine, every Wednesday receiving in your email inbox a complete

coaching session in PDF format that you can use at a moment's notice

without any preparation.


With this unbeatable offer, you don’t have to imagine, you can try out

my sessions without any obligation to become a member. All I ask is

a small payment of 97p to cover our administrative costs.

member that I’m prepared to give away a free copy of The Ultimate

Rugby Warm-Ups Manual to

convince
you. This manual has

sold
thousands of copies at £43,

I invented Smart Sessions back in 2005 and they have proved to be

popular with rugby coaches and players of many abilities in clubs and

schools around the world.


They will save you time


Each Smart Session has the information needed to run a full coaching

session of between 45 minutes and 1 hour 20 minutes, including

recommendations for a warm-up, the details of the main session,

development and game situation.


Two versions, both the same price

Core Skills: Core Skills are sessions suitable for coaching the basics

of the game to school children and club youth players, players new to

the game, any players wanting to brush up their skills, and Sevens


players. They are not suitable for children under seven. All Core Skills


sessions fall into one of 11 player skills categories: passing, kicking,

tackling, scrummaging, catching, rucking, mauling, lineout, footwork,

support play, and decision-making. Download a sample
