Rugby · Scrum Half
CURVA Coach understands exactly what Scrum Half demands physically. Your programme is built around those demands — not a generic template.
Get my CoachThe four physical qualities that define performance at this position — and why they matter.
Scrum halves need to cover the ground between breakdowns faster than any other player on the pitch. Sprint training, multidirectional agility work and reactive speed drills are built into the programme to develop this quality specifically.
Scrum halves rarely leave the action. The aerobic demands of covering every breakdown across 80 minutes require a high base fitness level — one that is developed progressively throughout the training programme.
Delivery speed and accuracy off both hands requires shoulder health, rotational strength and wrist stability. The programme includes specific shoulder work to keep the passing arm healthy under the repetitive demands of the position.
Reading the breakdown and reacting before the defence can set requires exceptional reactive speed. The programme includes neuromuscular training to develop the quickness that scrum halves rely on at the base of every ruck.
A Scrum Half doesn't need the same programme as a Winger. CURVA Coach builds around the specific demands of your position — then layers in your schedule, your body and any niggles you're carrying.
Every two weeks, your coach reviews your progress and updates your programme. It adapts across pre-season, in-season and recovery so you're always doing the right work at the right time.
And if you have questions — about movement, nutrition, an injury niggle — your coach is available 24/7 in the app.
