To become a quality rugby player, athletes need a combination of speed and core strength training to gain a competitive edge. Rugby is a sport where players are continually moving but most of the running on the pitch is short sprints with many changes in body orientation.

Having explosive speed can make the difference between getting to the rugby ball or not. Workouts geared toward speed and acceleration offer rugby players maximum advantage over their competition.

I’ve pulled together eight good speed workout videos from YouTube that can help you improve your acceleration and speed for the game.

REMEMBER: Before starting any new exercise routines please check with your medical provider and clear your new exercise plan with them before beginning. This is especially true if you haven’t been exercising for some time or are recovering from an injury. I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on T.V.
