Scientific research tells us that warm-ups these days should be dynamic, not static. This implies movement. The men in white coats have proved that warm-ups are best if they match the skills, movements or disciplines that your players are about to practice at full pace. The Ultimate Rugby Warm-Ups Manual is my handy and easy-to-use guide, to help you implement a new rugby warm-up regime at your school or club.

Incorporating up-to-date thinking, the manual will cover all your warm-up requirements for this year and for seasons to come.

It has everything you need, with warm-ups tailored for the six main aspects of the game.

Contact

Fitness

Handling

Agility and speed

Set-piece

Pre-match

If the session is to sharpen up your backs plays, you select warm-ups for handling and agility and speed. On the other hand, if you are taking a scrummaging session, you use a set-piece warm-up.

I’m sure you’ll agree it makes so much more sense to do a contact warm-up before a tackling session and to use a handling warm-up before a passing drill. The more the warm-up is related to the activity coming next the better. It’s just so obvious.

This manual of more than 100 warm-ups will become the only warm-up guide you need, and you’ll be able to use it for years.

With a section on warm-downs (or cool downs as they are also known) as well, it’s the complete package.

Nothing similar exists

Are you ever tongue-tied when coaching? This guide helps out here too, by telling you precisely what to say to get over the key action points to the players. This leaves you free to focus on the set up, monitoring the players and planning what you are going to do next.

You can buy The Ultimate Rugby Warm-Ups Manual in two formats:

An A4 PDF document stored on your computer

An A4 spiral bound printed manual for your bookshelf.

The Ultimate Rugby Warm-Ups Manual is an instant reference, all in one place, right at your fingertips. You will have no more endless searching for something new to do in the warm-ups.

Running your coaching sessions will be easier

Each warm-up is clearly and simply explained, with illustrations. The guide is great for coaching beginners and experienced coaches alike.

If you ever have to take regular training or coaching sessions you’ll appreciate the sheer helpfulness of this resource. This really is a no-nonsense, user-friendly and above all, functional tool that will work for you.

The Ultimate Rugby Warm-Ups Manual is only available online. You cannot buy it in the shops or through any other publisher or distributor.

Take the hard work out of training session planning. You’ll appreciate the value in this guide after its first few outings.

Yours in rugby,
