WARURA STRENGTH CONDITIONING & FITNESS
Welcome to our Strength Conditioning and Fitness page, here you will find our latest training plans as we progress through the season.
​
If you have any questions or queries, please reach out to a member of the Executive Committee or a Senior Referee who can assist you.
2026 SEASON PLAN
We have developed a season long plan that will assist our Match Officials in growing and maintaining their match fitness through both field and gym sessions. RugbyWA have provided us with space at HQ on Wednesday nights and the sessions are designed so that you can do them at home, or with other Match Officials in your own time.
​
Please see the latest theme plans that will be updated as we progress through the season. A special thanks to our member Ben Jones, who has developed our training plan for the season.
​
Each session will be lead by a senior referee to ensure consistency and delivery of content. Any changes to the schedules will be advised via our usual channels.
Theme Plans
Our season has been broken into 6 themes of 4 week blocks for 2026
