Fitness

Young Ruggers, do you think you have what it takes to become an Olympic Rugby Athlete? Well, I suggest you ensure your fitness is at or above the standards set by USA 7s MNT Coach Alex Magleby. Here are a couple of excellent rugby fitness resources if you need some good creative ideas for solid fitness training:

1) Paul Holmes' YouTube Channel. Paul is the coach at 1823 in Ohio, which is a member academy of the Olympic Development Program.
2) Jen Sinkler's Fitness page. Jen is a former USA WNT player and fitness expert. Her fitness "complexes" will have you cussing "The Sink!"
