BULLBUILDER TO HOLD ANNUAL RACE NIGHT IN JANUARY

OFFICIAL Supporters Trust Bullbuilder are holding their Annual Race Night at Laisterdyke Cricket Club on the 31st January 2020 - with a Pie and Peas supper and free prize draw included!

The event gets underway from 7pm at Laisterdyke CC (Broad Lane, BD4 8PA), with the first race taking place from 7:20pm. 

Bullbuilder's Annual Race Night is just one of a number of Annual events designed to raise funds for Youth Development at the Bradford Bulls. 

Recent Bullbuilder investments include the recruitment of a Nutritionist and the introduction of a Ski-Erg machine to our Tong facility.

The funding for a nutritionist is to come in and do 23 individual programs for the 18s, they will be weighed their skin folds taken and an individual diet plan put in place for everyone of them for the rest of the season, monitoring their progress, and workshops for the 15s and 16s players and parents, and also a cooking workshop for not so privileged kids.

Head of Youth and Under-18s head coach Leigh Beattie has spoken about the benefits of Bullbuilder's recent investments. 

"This benefits our players massively in their development, players struggle with college and work and then the workload of training," said Beattie.

"This will educate them in how to fuel the body ready for training and games, because some players need to gain weight some players need to lose weight this is a great tool, nutrition is massive in the aid to develop great athletes. 

Head of Strength & Conditioning Adam Simpson says the installation of a 'Ski-Erg' has a number of advantages. 

• Upper-body conditioning. The Ski-Erg provides a modality for use when a player is suffering from a lower-body injury. During the acute stages on an injury, there are periods where players are limited in what they can do to challenge their energy systems. A Ski-Erg can be used seated and still provide a significant conditioning effect during these stages.

• Varied conditioning options.  Ski-Erg offers a new movement pattern to be challenged during off-feet sessions. This will be particularly important during the early stages of pre-season when running is to be limited to ensure optimal hypertrophy adaptations. The extra and varied equipment provide the opportunity to still incorporate challenging but low impact conditioning.

• Recovery. Gameday +1 recovery sessions can incorporate these to provide and upper-body flush out. When combined with the range of recovery options we currently offer this would bolster our sessions and improve the recovery process.
