LAND ROVER PREMIERSHIP RUGBY CUP
COACHING PACK
WHAT IS IT?
The Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup (LRPRC) is a series of national grassroots rugby festivals for Under-11
and Under-12 teams. Run in conjunction with all 12 Premiership Rugby clubs. The regional rugby events have
become an essential part of the English rugby calendar since their inception in 2008, helping more than 85,000
youngsters to discover rugby.
As the LRPRC festivals are currently unable to take place Land Rover is bringing you a range of coaching drills
and training tips from a host of Land Rover rugby ambassadors, designed to help you prepare for the return of
grassroots rugby soon!
Please remember to follow the RFU guidelines and
ensure you are staying safe when developing your skills.
