About this Academy

Our Rugby Academy, in conjunction with Abingdon School, has been prepared by senior coaches in the games and is designed to develop both the individual player as well as their ability to operate in a unit and team. For students aged 11-14, the academy looks to improve ball handling, reliability when giving and receiving a pass, ball movement, field positioning, tackling, evading the tackle and kicking. It goes on to apply these skills to game situations, growing the student’s confidence at the break down as well as roles in set plays and dead ball situations.
