FEEPO X RUGGETTE

It's finally live: we are super excited to announce our partnership with FEEPO!

What is FEEPO we hear you ask? Well, we are about to let you in on something big here… FEEPO is the new home of women’s rugby fitness, created by England and Harlequins rugby player Fiona Pocock. Here at Ruggette RFC, we are all about solving problems for female rugby players. This is why we absolutely had to partner up with friend of the brand and rugby icon, Fiona Pocock, to bring you the best in the business in female specific strength training.As you all know, our brand mission is to solve problems for those who play women's rugby. We have known for a while now that there is a big gap in knowledge for women when it comes to strength training specifically for rugby. A common misconception, and something which we have spoken to Fee about for hours on end, is that we as females should be training for aesthetics only. The more elite level players will know what S+C training involves, largely due to having it supplied and coached to them as part of their day-to-day programming. Unfortunately, not all clubs have the resources to provide S&C to their teams, and this can result in a knowledge gap for women and girls' rugby specific strength training.

So why should you listen to us? Surely there are tonnes of rugby fitness resources out there to use right? Wrong. Not only is Fee a fellow rugger with 32 England Caps under her belt, but she is also a qualified strength and conditioning coach; working with athletes all around the globe. Strength and conditioning is her passion, she wants to use her expertise and knowledge to invest back into the game and leave the jersey in a better position than when she first found it. Fee’s knowledge and experience is helping to mould out a service that is very much needed in the women’s rugby community. Previously, S+C had only been available to elite players, but we want to work together to change that. Strength training should ultimately ensure that you as a player perform better on the pitch, but it also can help prevent injury, increase your enjoyment of the game, and help you play it for longer. We understand that we often have a limited time to train, so we wanted to partner with FEEPO to offer our community a fully accessible and detailed programme to help them be the best rugby player they can be. As part of our partnership with FEEPO, we want to give individuals the tools to experience what rugby specific strength training can be, without the huge price tag that often comes along with it.
