The Young Guns Academy

The Young Guns Performance Academy has been set-up to fill a gap, which exists in the current Rugby training market with the aim of delivering a completely holistic approach to the sport by exploring all facets of the game, both physical and theoretical, to proved players with a fully rounded understanding of exactly what it takes to become an elite player, which is why we deliver both in the classroom as well as on the pitch.

Psychology, nutrition, conditioning, core stability, an understanding of the laws of the game, all take equal precedence with the tuition of core rugby skills and innovative coaching methodology.

We want to give youngsters the opportunity to learn and develop more than simply their skills: we want to enable them to understand the game, understand their bodies and understand the demands on time. We want to show them how to assess their own abilities, recognise their own potential and most importantly for them to set and manage their own goals.

If we can do this in a way which is both challenging and fun it will be a huge benefit to all those whom participate.

Our focus is to encourage young players to be safe, be healthy, to achieve and to fall in love with the game of rugby.

The Academy has five over-arching goals, which drive and govern the way the Academy and its Development Courses and Clinics are run.

• To develop their individual rugby skills, running, handling, contact and kicking
• Ensure they gain an understanding of the broader physical aspects of the game; being healthy, understanding core strength and SAQ
• To introduce them to the benefits and value of Nutrition, Conditioning and Psychology
• To gain a greater understanding of the game from an assessor, spectator and refereeing perspective
• To provide a challenging, thought-provoking yet highly enjoyable rugby experience.
