The TWU Spartans Rugby Academy is geared toward developing the potential in senior high school rugby players and supporting their preparation for the upcoming school and rep rugby season. Spartan coaches and athletes, who love seeing these young athletes grow and improve, will equip the players with the necessary tools to hone their technical and tactical skills to compete at the highest level.
Technical instruction focuses on creating well-rounded rugby players. Athletes will become capable triple threats - run, catch/pass, and kicking (with weekly kicking sessions), to create continuity on attack, to exploit space and scoring opportunities. Equally, athletes will become capable and confident defenders, learning the fundamental concepts of working together as a unit and developing their tackle in a safe learning environment.
Tactical instruction extends beyond the training pitch to challenge players' game understanding and awareness. Using cutting-edge analysis tools with the VEO Video Analysis System, athletes will review the footage of each session and challenge their game awareness to become better students of the game. Under the coach's guidance will learn the value of self-evaluation and leverage goal-setting tools to improve and challenge their skill development.
The Spartans Rugby Academy will also address the following topics critical for athletes to thrive in high-performance environments: mental skills, goal setting, the value of video analysis and personal leadership development. An exciting array of guest coaches and experts within these fields will aid in the holistic development of the athlete. Participants will be grouped appropriately to their skill level to ensure the best experience possible for everyone. Come, have fun and raise your game to the next level!
