Forwards fitness U12's

Hi, I have a large pack, some new to rugby, and they are really passionate and impactful, but some are really struggling with helping get them on top of their fitness and aerobic exercise. One prop in particular is only 11 yrs old, but deperate to convert osme weight to focus on fitness. Any tips or exercise routines that I can use to get a heavy forward pack to work on their fitness training outside of the once a week rugby training session we have as a team?

Hi Mark,

There are some great drills on the Rugby Sportplan plan website in the agility & running skills category. I have also copied the link to a rugby specific session that you could adapt to benefit your team's conditioning.

I hope this helps,
