Rugby Academy

The College has been granted the WRU Rugby Programme in Education licence (RPE) and competes in the Elite Schools and Colleges League: the highest league available to education establishments in Wales. We also compete in the largest seven-a-side tournaments in the UK.

The Elite Rugby Academy aims to prepare players for transition to the professional or senior game. Members receive 12 hours contact time per week from our highly skilled coaching team, complementing their education. The academy timetable includes skill sessions, strength and conditioning, performance analysis, medical clinics, one-to-ones and holistic development sessions. There is also a programme and pathway for female rugby players.

Additionally, we run a successful development team for those players that want to play recreationally alongside their studies.
