Aspire2 Clinic News Update 29th July 2025

Well done for the last half term, another step forward in your rugby journey. When we re-start in September we will revisit the primary tackle techniques so please ensure that you have your gum shields with you. If it’s hot let’s remember sun block and whatever the weather let’s bring plenty of fluids. If a session does have to be cancelled, we will send out an online session which we would really encourage you to work through. As players progress in their rugby: video footage, analysis and broader rugby awareness become an increasingly important part of player development.

If you want to do some homework over the summer break, have a think about the games of rugby that you have played in. See if you can recall your three favourite playing moments. You must be at the centre of action as it’s about you. See if you can commentate those three moments to yourself: what happened, why did it happen and how did it happen? see how much detail you can go into. When in the game did it occur, what was the weather like and why is it such a special moment for you? As you progress you can build up your own library of highlights and over time as you see those same situations arising you will already know what you want to do. If you go through the same process with worst moments, you will quickly learn what you need to change, it’s very much like learning to walk.

Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you in September.

The dates for the next half term are: 9^th 16^th 23^rd 30^th September 7^th 14^th and 21^st October (7 weeks, £70).
