How To Get Scouted In Rugby | Things To Do To Get SEEN By Coaches

[@luciecampbell8215]

great advice I'll try to apply it, I've been put into a girls u16's player development programme with the chance of being scouted for some big clubs but the aim is to go for scotland u18's national team however I've only been playing 7/8 months and never had a game and most girls there are older and more experienced, they're competing every weekend and know the game far better. my coach thinks I'll make U18's squad or go even further but it's deffinetly challenging to be reconised as every girl there is talented and a great player but i'll just have to see how it goes i'll might get to go next year as ill still be in the age catagory although i'm not too sure. todays plan is to do some extra skills practice before hand and get out early to warm up they just give it my all.

Fellow female rugby player here from Zim ...did u make the under18?

[@lelandwoodfield1017]

Thank you this is great advice. I think I just need to get my tackle confidence up. My goal is to get scouted for an academy then play for England one day

[@alexhanrahan5694]

Great video man..Can you do a video on how to get big quads with barbell only👏

People John seems to have stopped posting. Does he still play rugby?

[@KickingTeeRugby]

Hey man I’ve just been able to play rugby at 18 . Due to my family’s religious beliefs I wasn’t allowed to during my childhood but have always loved the game. Currently 5 11’ and 70kgs . What do you recommend I do to begin advancing and what should I start training to achieve it ? Should I first make sure that I get a good grasp of the basics and then find a club or vice versa? How do you get into a club?

[@harrisonbuckley1001]

look online for local clubs near you. buy a rugby ball and literally just keep throwing it up im sure theirs videos on it. try get into a club ive literally only just started playing and ive already won both games ive played im 6" around 73kg at 15 i play for under 16 if you put in work you can get pretty good pretty fast . try join a club get a ball and watch as many LIVE rugby matches as u can to understand the game properly and gl bro

[@lowstargaming6649]

Yes just watch as many games as you can and be consistent with everything and maybe eat a bit more. I'm only 14 6" 75kg and joined like 3 months ago, but by being consistent with my practice and being passionate about my sport, I'm already a starter for my team and a player in my regional team Best of luck too you

Incredible video but those four core areas have you seen George ford try and tackle

Great video

[@JohnOkaforFitness]

I’m glad you liked it !

[@Thefrenchkook]

Great advice, Even though the video is a bit monotonic. I don’t recommend gym for people under 15 though.

[@ConnorArcher-st4lj]

Do you need to be in the 1st and second team

[@kudzaiclinton4463]

How can one look for a schoolarship or for scouters

[@theselfieshow898]

I am good rugby player in Kenya interested to play rugby in UK either trials please give me way forward

[@moreroidsmoreboys]

Your best option would be to move country, I’d be unlikely for a scout to be in Kenya try looking around and contact people

Is it possible to get scouted in University? I still play age grade rugby and am moving to a better club as I got asked to by them and if I made it into the first team when I could and also played for a rugby oriented university can I get scouted through that? It’s my dream to play for England or in the premiership

[@JaySmillieTV]

Nice video bro

[@JohnOkaforFitness]

Thank you my guy

[@ivanmvp3922]

Bro what age do you think is too late to get scouted (I'm 16 btw)

[@JohnOkaforFitness]

Absolutely not, I only took rugby properly around 15/16. Rugby is one of those sports you develop late. Physically and understanding the game

[@ivanmvp3922]

@@JohnOkaforFitness okay cheers bro I was just concerned because I live in Doncaster which is north England and there's hardly any pro teams up here for union anyway

[@Sean-mg7uc]

I have a trial tomorrow and I’m really nervous I know I can play well but I have trouble getting my head in the game. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks for any help.
