About Academy Rugby Foundation

We believe the Rugby Academy provides talented players from Sussex & Hampshire and the surrounding areas with an opportunity to develop to the best of their abilities within the academy and club structure. Players attending the Academy can continue to play for their local club whilst representing the Academy in the British Colleges league on Wednesday afternoons. Our aim is to first and foremost motivate and encourage young people to stay in education and provide pathways to higher education or career prospects while keeping one eye on the dream of progressing through the ranks to their own club first teams, or indeed, for many other opportunities in rugby. The Rugby Academy aim to develop passionate young rugby players in all facts of the game, whilst enabling students to build a career in the sports industry. This is achieved by combining an outstanding rugby excellence programme with an unrivalled education, which provides a unique all round experience for those accepted onto the Academy. Over the 2 year duration students will study for a BTEC Level 3 Diploma (Extended) in Sport Performance and Excellence, which is a fully-funded, full-time education course, delivered in partnership with SCL. Each year SCL educates and develops the skills of thousands of young adults through its 16-18 programmes. SCL has been successfully delivering vocational and academic sports-based qualifications for over ten years. Successful completion of the educational programme will enable players to follow pathways into Higher Education at selected Universities and employment opportunities within the sport and leisure industry, including coaching placements We recognise the community around us and the wider environment. Launching to give focus to the Rugby's social commitments, our mission is to harness the true power of the Rugby's spirit – our passion, our experience, our heritage and our partners - to improve the life chances of young people aged up to 20.
