Video | Munster Rugby Underage Training Programme
11th August 2020 By The Editor
Irish Independent Park is one of three training venues.
Munster Rugby’s underage sides have been training at Irish Independent Park, Thomond Park and Ballincollig RFC over the past number of weeks ahead of the new season.
Players from U16 up to U19 level are participating in the training groups with 41 different clubs from across the province represented along with the nine ‘A’ schools.
We spoke to Coach and Player Development Manager Keith Murphy last week about the training programme for the respective squads with Rugby Services Co-ordinator Aidan Cleary explaining the safety measures in place.
Along with the training programme, three online education modules have been provided for the players including a Covid Compliancy information webinar, a performance nutrition webinar with Munster Rugby Academy nutritionist Richard Kelly and a mental skills webinar with Cathal Sheridan.
A Prepare to Perform webinar will also be provided by Athletic Development coach Ross Callaghan and there will also be an anti-doping webinar with IRFU and Munster Rugby Spirit Officer Emily O’Leary later this month.
