Coaches

World Rugby Activate Injury Prevention Program

What is Activate?


Activate is a structured, progressive exercise programme that is designed to be used as part of training sessions and pre-match warm-up routines.

The programme was developed using scientific evidence and expert opinion, whilst feedback from active coaches helped to ensure that the programme is suitable to use across community-level rugby settings.


There are four versions of Activate:

A solid black arrow pointing to the right.
Under-15 (Age 13–14 years)
A bold, solid black arrow pointing to the right.
Under-16 (Age 15–16 years)
A solid black arrow pointing to the right.
Under-18 (Age 16–18 years)
Solid black arrow pointing to the right.
Adult (Age 18+ years)

Each version contains several progressive phases to be used throughout the playing season.


All versions of the programme share a similar structure and contain the same types of training activities:

A thick, black right-pointing arrow on a white background.
Balancing and Hopping Exercises to Improve General Movement Control

A thrilling encounter saw the Roos come from behind to secure a crucial 1 point victory. Down by 12 points at halftime, captain Jake Morrison sparked the comeback with a brilliant individual goal in the late in the 3rd quarter. Young gun winger Tommy Chen sealed the win with a spectacular off-the-ground finish in the dying minutes. The defensive effort from Mike Stevens and Danny Walsh was outstanding, making crucial tackles when it mattered most.
