The aim of primary weight training is to rehearse technique and initiate the stages of full body strength development

Primary weight training resistances should allow you to perform at least 10 reps. or the load is too demanding. During the initial phase of a strength programme the resistance a player can lift increases significantly but this is not always due to strength improvement.

Initial increases in resistance performance are often due to the player 'learning' the movement

An ideal tool for primary weight training is a medicine ball. With weights starting at 1kg and gradually increasing to 10kg, medicine balls can be used for scores of strength and technique development exercises.

Training with medicine balls teaches the body to use its core stabilisers effectively in order that transfer of energy can take place effectively during even the most complex of movement patterns. It provides a feedback mechanism to assist with the development of all movements being high quality. It constantly emphasises a high level of co-ordination within each movement and increases the power by which these co-ordinated movements can be carried out.

Medicine Ball drills encourages these key-training goals by its emphasis on quality and core stability trained in a functional way and by its specific design and the sheer adaptability and range of movements that can be completed with the balls.
