SUMMARY
Players and coaches must adopt the blend of conditioning elements that will allow their team to play successfully and without injury.No matter what the age or level of competition, the conditioning philosophy should be the same as that of players at all levels of the game.
The amateur player and skilled professional both require strength and power for making contact, speed and agility to chase attackers and evade defenders, and a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic conditioning to sustain these activities.
Although most players may not achieve the level of conditioning of the elite player, they will still benefit from the improved performance and resistance to injury that specific training affords
