Rainey OB Rugby Club in Magherafelt was the venue for a recent workshop delivered by the Fitness Development staff to those enrolled in Ulster Rugby’s Volunteer Fitness Development Coach programme.
Entitled 'Olympic Weightlifting for Rugby', the workshop, led by the South East region FDC Robbie Bremner, outlined the key factors in the performance of the snatch and clean & jerk, allowing participants the opportunity to gain practical experience in both coaching and performing the lifts, and understand their relevance to the game.
Ulster Rugby would like to thank Rainey for the use of their facilities, which were funded by DCAL under the 'Promoting Equality, Tackling Poverty and Social Exclusion through Sport' programme.
