The Elite Rugby Academy is more than just a training ground—it's a launchpad for future rugby stars. We combine world-class coaching with a comprehensive development program that focuses on creating exceptional athletes and outstanding individuals. With a dedicated boys’ and girls’ section, our academy caters to young talents who are serious about their rugby and personal growth. Our elite environment replicates a professional environment, preparing our players for the challenges of top-level competition.
-
What does the Elite Rugby Academy offer?We offer young players a pathway programme that may lead to representative, educational and professional opportunities, player education, performance monitoring, video analysis, playing portfolio management, personalised programming and guidance that will allow each player to select the best development opportunities available.
-
Is this a legitimate Pathway?Absolutely, we have links with a huge range of professional teams in both Rugby Union (and also Rugby League), both in the UK and overseas. In addition we are able to offer players alternative routes including higher education and career opportunities - again, both in the UK and abroad. We are also connected with a number of International Rugby Unions - which may also lead to the opportunity of International representation.
