We are ForceField
A revolutionary NEW injury mitigation programme for rugby players, teams & clubs.
ForceField - On pitch protection for your young rugby stars.
Our vision is that every rugby club and every young player that plays and loves this great game gets to do it safer, with a lower risk of picking up both life changing injuries and injuries that keep them out of the game that they love playing.
To do that we have taken inspiration from the Activate Programme but added our own knowledge of how to run a rugby club and how to inspire young people to actually take part.
We have seen first hand the amazing results, we want every parent in the country to feel the same sense of relief.

"We've seen
a dramatic decrease in injuries"
Geoff Fletcher
Chairman Sutton Coldfield RFC
2 years ago SCRFC started ForceField Training
After seeing the results published from the RFU's Activate programme we realised there was actually something we could do to reduce the number of injuries our junior players were suffering in all the key areas for rugby - neck, back, ankle, wrists and yes, concussions.
So we created our own programme, inspired by Activate, but designed to go much further than warm-ups and cool-downs alone.
Mini & Juniors took part
We started with our Mini and Junior teams, from U10s through to U16s. Each team had dedicated sessions of ForceField Training every fortnight throughout the season. In addition, coaches incorporated
elements of the practice into their regular technical training. They were also encouraged to keep up the practice at home via our online programme.
The results were staggering.
All teams have seen a dramatic drop off in injuries.
We knew that increased flexibility, core strength and improved agility and balance would make a difference - we just didn't expect it to be so evident so quickly.
The boys all enjoyed the training, but they enjoyed not missing games with injuries a lot more!
And then something remarkable happened.
Each team had the best ever season on the pitch as well as off it. They achieved success way beyond their previous years. One big contributing factor was having a full squad available for every game, all the way through the season.
They could play better, longer and safer. And the results speak for themselves. Three trophies: Colts Cup, U15s and U14s Warwickshire Cup, and the U16s reached the final of the Warwickshire Cup.

How does ForceField Training Work?
01
Increased Flexibility.
A flexible neck and upper body can help lessen the whiplash effect in tackles and collisions, potentially reducing excessive brain movement and the risk of serious concussion in rugby.
02
Stronger Neck & Core
Like a seatbelt in a crash, a strong neck and core can help stabilise the head and absorb impact, improving readiness for tackles, rucks, and collisions while reducing injury risk.
03
Better Balance & Agility
Improving coordination helps prevent falls, awkward landings after a tackle, and instability that can lead to concussions in rugby.

Train Smarter. Play Safer.
Science tells us that ForceField Training should be done daily or at least 3 times a week to maximise the benefits. There are 3 key ways that ForceField Training can help you play safer on the rugby field.
ForceField Training helps build better body control and impact absorption - key factors that could help reduce the ‘rattle’ effect during contact and support concussion prevention.
Who we are.
I'm Jo, a mum of three rugby-playing boys at Sutton Coldfield Rugby Football Club in the West Midlands, UK. Watching them on the pitch always filled me with nerves - I just wanted to know they were safe.
I knew there had to be a better way to support their safety and confidence in the game. That’s where the idea for ForceField began - a way to give players the tools to strengthen their bodies, improve control, and reduce the risk of injury, especially concussions.
