Old Yardleians have brought in Dave Cripps the former Leicester Tigers strength & conditioning coach to get their first team squad into shape for the forthcoming season in Midlands West Two (North).
Cripps recently left Leicester after eight years in which he helped in the careers of England internationals such as Tom Croft, Ben Youngs and Dan Cole.
He will be providing two weekly sessions during pre-season and will also be mentoring the ambitions of Old Yardleians first team players at his Coalition Performance gym facility in Earlswood,
Old Yardleians chairman Gary Robinson said “This is part of our plan to give players the opportunity to receive Elite level coaching and a friendly environment which will give them the opportunity to flourish and potentially go on to play in the national leagues”.
