Two years ago Didcot RUFC participated in a study conducted by Bristol University into player injury prevention. The recommendations of that study were adopted by both the RFU and World Rugby and became the Activate Programme. Didcot RUFC has been running the Activate programme since June 2020. This programme is now mandated throughout the club.
Early in the new year our club Oestopath, Jon McSwiney will be writing about player welfare and conducting a number of injury prevention sessions for the clubs coaches and staff.
