Touch Rugby is a rapidly growing game and an attractive sport to rugby
coaches and players because of the core skills it develops and the high
levels of fitness it encourages. The absence of contact, the high value
placed on developing foundational Rugby skills, and the game's capacity
to be played by men's, women's and mixed teams makes it the ideal sport
for pre-season training and also to the Fitness community more
generally.
This book is the ultimate resource for players and coaches of Touch
Rugby at all levels and stages of the game as well as rugby union and
league players and coaches wishing to incorporate Touch principles into
their training and approach. The book outlines player pathways from
beginner to intermediate to elite. The core fitness requirements of the
sport (speed, dynamism and agility) are clearly described alongside
advice on programmes that encourage the development of these
abilities.
An essential buy for every Touch Rugby coach or player!
