Programme

Do you want to turn your life around?

We support you to make life changes

Although our course is rugby based, rugby and it's core values is only the vehicle that drives our programme's success. You do not need to have any experience playing rugby or any sport to benefit from our programme, however physical activity and especially team sports can bring you amazing benefits. A belief in yourself, fitter body and mind, life long friends and job opportunities are just some of the benefits. We want that for you. If you have made some bad mistakes or need to make some changes in your life, this programme is for you!

Is TurnOver a fit for you? Then we would like to talk to you.

You will be invited to join us at one of our open days. You will also have an informal interview to gauge whether the course is right for you and if you are willing to make the changes in your life. The project is clearly explained and you and you will be free to ask any questions.

At the start you sign, together with other participants, the rules of conduct. That way you commit yourself to the team and the project. You then go through our 3 step phases: Restore, Rebuild and Restart. We are with you every step of the way.

Phase 1

Restore

You will start with your personal game plan booklet to identify your goals, triggers, issues. You will be challenged physically and mentally three days a week. On-site meals are included and you will have a chance to cook, prepare and eat with your group. You will be coached on all the aspects of rugby, but physical activity will also include gym, PT sessions, boxing, football and other forms of fitness. In addition, we invite a host of special guest volunteers to assist you on your journey.

Phase 2

Rebuild

You have achieved (part of) your goals. Perhaps you are already ready to go back to school or to work. During Rebuild you will still receive intensive personal supervision from our team.

Phase 3

Restart

After the process you will have the skills to take full control of your life. You may be going back to school or to work, however we are still there to support you. As a TurnOver Legend you remain part of our family.

TurnOver is a combination of physical and mental training.

You work on structure, daily rhythm, physical capacity and your emotional, psychological and social development. In the mornings you follow physical training and you develop a healthy lifestyle. Various programs are given during the afternoons, such as:

Dealing with and the consequences of alcohol and (soft) drugs
Preparing a healthy meal
Resistance training
