Dallen Stanford Virtual Session

RUGBY BROADCASTING

What does it take to be a broadcaster in rugby? Dallen will take you through his journey including tips for all those aspiring commentators!

Sessions

SPEED TRAINING AND RUNNING MECHANICS

Ballistic movements like running can be detrimental to an athlete if not performed correctly. Should you allow someone to put 300lbs on their back and perform squats with bad form? Definitely not! So why allow an athlete to take tens of thousands of steps while running and not have the proper form?

Sessions

VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING BY ARPTC

Every week there will be a topic covered in the game of 7s or 15s where players and coaches can tune in for an interactive session. There will also be a video of a skill uploaded every week that has key factors involved so that players can go away on their own and practice their skills in isolation.

Sessions

To sign-up for these sessions, please email admin@texasrugbyunion.com with your full name and club you’re registered with. We will share the call information and access to SportsYou.
