Small Blacks
Even at the Small Black level we need to give players simple exercises before they play our game to make them stronger and more agile.
The following are in sequence but they do allow for the coach or player to utilise a selected number of these to use in preparing them to tackle. You can easily make them fun at trainings - but we will leave that to you.
To get low we need to get mobile hips and long hamstrings.
Great for shoulders, arms and hips.
Great for hip movement and mobility so we can get low.
Activity to lengthening hamstrings and work shoulders.
Great for shoulder strength.
Dynamic movement to open up the hips and for shoulder strength.
Shoulder stability and strength – also warming up the legs for tackling.
Combination of shoulder, arm and hip benefits.
Variation to normal press up, with a progression element to it.
Progressive neck strengthening exercise.
Important neck strengthening exercise.
Exercise to get your lower body warm and shoulders strong. Emphasise low body position and fast feet.
Progression from thigh slap. Shoulders, legs, hips and core benefits.
Activity for post tackle or after any event that has put you on the ground. Quicker we are onto our feet – the quicker we are back in the game.
Rolling on one shoulder at a time, this activity is about getting back into the game. Falling and getting back up.
