Top coaching aid
An excellent, book. The drills cover many aspects of the game and with a little imagination can be adapted to suited any age range and ability. Some of the drills do need to be read carefully and introduced slowly to younger players.

the best rugby drills book by far
As a newly qualified coach to Rugby i decided to buy several of the drill books on offer to help me through the first season.

Out of all the books i purchased only 101 Rugby Training Drills could offer me as a novice to coaching the help i needed to create exciting and worhtwhile drills.

the diagrams and explanations as well as the key helped to set up the drills and guidance in the explanation section is fantastic.

The book is that good that the club has bought the book for every coaching team in the club. what more can i say!

You've got to have it
I coach junior rugby and this book has developed me and the lads so much. It makes training sessions so much fun because the boys and I are experiencing something new every month.
The book doesn't go into any great detail as to the theory of each excercise, it simply lays out specific drills detailing their key benefits, with clear pictorial aids.
Get it and get it now.
