Ulster Rugby Fitness Development Coach, Joe Gallanagh, has been assisting Rainey’s youth rugby teams in the club’s recently refurbished gym.
Gallanagh has been working alongside Rainey’s Strength & Conditioning Coach, Ryan Keating, to deliver functional movement sessions to the U13, U15 and U17 teams.
The focus of the sessions has been on increasing strength and mobilty. The 20-30 minute sessions have taken place at the start of training before pitch training begins.
The refurbished gym and coaching assistance from Ulster rugby has been made possible due to the generous support of the NI Executive and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure through the ‘Promoting Equality, Tackling Poverty and Social Exclusion through Sport' Programme.
