WHAT PLAYERS AND COACHES ARE SAYING
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A huge component of our premiership season at the Young Cherrypickers this year was built on the essentials skills that Sports Grappling Systems has to offer. I highly recommend all players and coaches learn these skills at grass roots level.
Dan Barclay
Young Cherrypickers Rugby League Club Assistant Coach
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've been coaching Rugby League for over 25 years in NZ, school, club and rep level. I've found the videos very useful, and the basic fundamentals and detail around the tackle is critical to player safety and avoiding head injuries.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rhys and Sports Grappling Systems have truly been a game-changer for me. Coming from an Aussie Rules background where proper tackling techniques and safety measures are often overlooked in younger players, this training has been a revelation. Rhys's expertise and guidance have not only taught me how to tackle correctly but also how to teach my players and my opponents while maintaining control during tackles. It has been a massive education and eye-opener for me. I highly recommend Rhys and Sports Grappling Systems to anyone looking to enhance their skills and understanding of grappling techniques. Thank you, Rhys, for your invaluable teachings!
