Academy
Brighton Rugby Club have teamed up with City College to launch a new Rugby Development Academy (RDA) designed to give young aspiring rugby players the opportunity to develop their rugby skills whilst continuing in full-time education.
The RDA provides students with the opportunity to train three times per week and play competitive matches on a Wednesday afternoon at local, regional and national level. Students will recieve specialist coaching from an experienced and qualified professional coach.
As part of the RDA programme students will recieve specialist rugby coaching that will focus on improving micro-skills and positional skills. Students will also be given rugby-specific strength and conditioning programmes, individual player assessments and will regularly undertake video analysis of training and matches.
Alongside the rugby training students are expected to study on a BTEC Sports course at City College (Level 1-3 depending on entry grades). Students will also complete their level 1 Rugby coaching qulification and the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Sports Coaching.
Any student is welcome to apply for a place on the programme. It is preferred that students have played rugby to county or district level or to a good club standard as a minimum.
