Another great session last night. Working towards rugby skills while still doing fitness. Worked on fast hands and footwork in the backs. Strength training and endurance with the forwards. The improvement is the fitness is visable and it is going to put the girls in a great position when the rugby season starts. Go Impalas 🏉💪💙💗💚

If you or your daughter would like to give rugby a try then please get in touch if you require further information 🏉
