Attention : Rugby Organiser / Club Manager / Strength and Conditioner,

As you are aware that SA Rugby has given permission for amateur rugby to return to train. The regulation states clearly the criteria to return to train on pages 3 – 8.

On page 7 (7.9): Integrated Return to Training states it the first phase of a 4 week of fitness and strength training. It says that players must first been put on a 4 week strength and conditioning program before they can continue to the next stage of gradual introduction of contact rugby skills.

To assist the players/schools and clubs are we going to present a World Rugby Level 1 Strength and Conditioning accredited course for the coaches. There are 3 Strength and Conditioning accreditation that the coaches can do in the domain they are coaching.
1. Children – Players from age 6 – 12
2. Youth – Players from the age of 13 – 17
3. Adult – Players from the age of 18 <
Because the players was not active from March 2020 the risk of injuries is high and we want to prevent this and want the players to graduate return to practice. We want also to strongly focus on the players age 6 – 8 years to prepare them for rugby that they can start playing Bulletjie Rugby (Tag). We want to encourage the coaches of the mentioned age to come and attend the course for Children.
