Next week we’re back with our popular junior S&C programme…

PREPARE + BUILD

One 1 hour 15 minute session per week (Tuesday or Wednesday, 7.15–8.30pm) during school term times.

• Prepare → School Years 5–7
• Build → School Years 8–9

These sessions run like a scholarship group at a professional Rugby League club — a 3-group rotation of speed, strength and skill.

Juniors get age-appropriate training that covers intro to strength training, speed, wrestling, conditioning and hand-eye coordination… plus athlete testing & profiling, nutrition advice, and ongoing parent support via our WhatsApp group.

We’ve seen it time and again: the kids who stick with this programme start to pull away from those who don’t.

We love keeping juniors with us from a young age and taking them through the full progressive pathway — preparing and building them for the next step on their RL journey.

Can’t wait to look back in a few years and see some of these names starting out in the professional game 👀🚀

A look inside one of our Combat sessions running 8-9am on a Saturday Morning.

Everything we do in here is designed for combat sport athletes around the demands of their sport.

We started these group sessions to give fighters a chance at getting in some quality S&C without having to pay for private coaching.

We’re currently in the first block and looking at some basic strength and power movements.

If you’re a fighter looking to get involved, drop us a message 🤛

Good movement starts early.

This block we’ve been learning the RDL, a baseline hip hinge movement most beginners struggle to pick up.

Every session before we lift, we go over the movement and our key coaching points to remind our junior athletes what we’re looking for.

Now we’re towards the back of the training block and all of our juniors are starting to nail it which will allow us to start looking at a load of other exercises in the weeks to come.
