Abstract
ABSTRACT With increasing investments and resources, rugby sevens is growing internationally and domestically in many countries. Within Canada, women's rugby sevens is a popular sport at the regional and national levels in university settings and centralized training programs. Given the importance of strength and conditioning for success in sevens, the purpose of this article is to highlight some of the frameworks used to develop sevens athletes from the university to the international level within the Canadian context. As such, the match demands and physical characteristics relevant to rugby sevens are discussed based on a comprehensive needs analysis. This is further contextualized by a training philosophy and framework tailored for university-aged female athletes, which play a key role in the Canadian talent development pathway.
