Why Choose Axe Rugby?
Axe Rugby was created due to a glaring lack of support worldwide for rugby players outside of professional rugby environments, who do not have access to strength and conditioning, injury prevention or rehabilitation programming. Too often players who live remotely from major rugby hubs or develop in later years of adolescence get overlooked in development pathways. Similarly, players who are simply hungry to improve alongside their working week have had no avenue to find rugby specific coaching to allow them to level up their game. Rugby is a tough sport and significant injuries can occur especially when players have not conditioned their bodies appropriately. Proper strength and conditioning, and targeted rehabilitation is crucial for any rugby player looking to prevent or return from injury. We believe that Axe Rugby’s comprehensive programming fills this void, allowing you to train effectively and purposefully for rugby.
