Four Pillars of Academy Rugby

  1. Discipline: Doing the right thing at all times. Knowing when to talk and when to listen.

  2. Commitment: Committing to your team, family, education, the right diet and proper training.

  3. Fitness: everyone, no matter the body size or shape needs to be fit to play rugby.

  4. Opportunity: Create opportunity on the pitch and in life and take advantage of it.

You cannot expect Rugby to grow, or our San Antonio Rugby programs to evolve unless we invest in the next generation of players. A robust academy system is a must-have in the modern age of rugby and we wish to welcome your kiddos into this amazing community.

 

San Antonio’s Rugby Academy participates in the Rugby Texas program. Rugby Texas uses an age band structure for competitions. This method mirrors other youth sports organizational structures and attempts to create the most fair environment for youth competition and opportunity.

The Progression of Play was edited and adopted by Rugby Texas to establish clear variations and considerations based on current research from several national and international youth rugby organizations.
