Our Program
If a young rugby league player wants to improve, develop their game and be successful on the field then they have work off it. And work hard.
Our programs are not for everybody. Our Rugby League Off Season weights program is optimised for maximum results and we don’t offer single day sessions.
Why?
If you want to become the best player you can possibly be, you WILL NOT get the results working 1 hour per week. It won’t happen. We don’t want you to waste your time (and money) with false promises.
So yes. Our programs are all encompassing. You need to have the drive, will power, desire and work ethic and we will provide the rest.
What we do
At LFA we know exactly how to train young footballers to build speed, power, strength, skill, agility and a hard as nails mindset while also focusing on creating flexibility and mobility to decrease the potential for non-contact injuries.
Our integrated training system incorporates
- resistance training,
- speed and power work,
- cardiovascular training,
- close quarters skill work,
- nutritional intervention and
- flexibility/mobility training to meet the demands and rigours of rugby league.
Combining all of these strategies is essential to spending more time on the field, dominating your opponent, and less time injured or on the bench. Our individualised approach allows for athletes to maximise their physical abilities while training specifically for the demands of their position.
All our players follow customised programs designed to meet individual goals and are based off of the results they achieved on our testing day. These are:
| SKILL AREA | DETAIL |
|---|---|
| SPEED | Timed 10, 20 and 40 meter sprint |
| POWER | Vertical jump test Broad jump test single and double leg |
| CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS | Beep test |
| STRENGTH (equivalency tests are done for inexperienced lifters) | Klatt test Bench Press Back Squat Chin Up Seated DB Shoulder Press External Rotation from Knee DB trap 3 raise |
| BODY COMPOSITION | Skin folds & Weight |
| FLEXIBILITY AND MOBILITY | Overhead squat test Joint by joint flexibility and mobility test |
