RUGBY

Rugby training plans, built for your goal

A front-row forward and a back-three winger need genuinely different rugby training — one needs scrummaging and collision strength, the other needs repeated top-end speed. SportBlox builds your rugby training plan around your position, goal and season phase.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like repeated sprint ability in the final quarter, tackle technique and body position, handling under pressure and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

FAQ

Rugby training plan FAQ

Does it programme differently for forwards and backs?

Yes — tell it your position and the strength and conditioning balance shifts toward scrummaging power or top-end speed accordingly.

Will it work around my club's training nights?

Yes, note your existing training and match commitments and supplementary work is scheduled around them.

How long is a typical pre-season block?

Usually 4–6 weeks of progressive base fitness and contact strength before match-intensity work ramps up.

Is it suitable for social or beginner rugby?

Yes, skill level scales both contact intensity and conditioning volume.

Does it include injury-prevention work for the neck and shoulders?

Sessions include strength work targeting common rugby injury areas, but flag any existing issue so the plan avoids aggravating it.
