i Instructions

  1. 1. Preparation: Perform a comprehensive dynamic warm-up focusing on ankles, knees, hips, and the shoulder girdle to prepare the body for contact and sudden changes of direction.
  2. 2. Active Phase: Engage in the gameplay, which includes high-intensity sprints, passing the oval ball, tackling, scrums, and lineouts. Focus on maintaining a low center of gravity during physical contact.
  3. 3. Safety and Technique: Always wear a mouthguard. During tackles, keep your head on the safe side of the opponent and maintain a flat back during scrummaging. Perform a cool-down and static stretching session after the match.
