High Performance Players Course

The High Performance Players Course is our most intensive players course – designed to fast-track the development process, producing exponential gains in self-management and performance that will ultimately provide participants with the best possible chance of achieving a professional career in rugby.

For players aged 18 years and over, the High Performance programme simulates the professional rugby environment, demanding participants to perform and manage themselves at a level that is expected in the professional game today.

Advanced Players Course

Intensive player development in the mid-late teen years is crucial for those rugby players seeking the path to professional rugby.  Professional contracts are sometimes secured as early as 18-19 years of age.  The Advanced Players Course was designed to fast-track development as players make the transition to senior rugby.

Typically for players aged 16-18 years-old, the Advanced programme provides players an insight to the levels expected in a professional rugby environment – with the objective of embedding positive training and self-management habits that will ultimately steer players on the path to professional rugby.

Intermediate Players Course

As young rugby players transition through their early-mid teen years, raw talent and ability begins to shine through and promising talent becomes exposed.

The Intermediate Players Course is designed to nurture the raw talent of young rugby players, laying the foundation for optimal development through their teen years.

Crafted specifically for rugby players aged 13-15 years-old, this programme provides an introduction to a range of skills at an advanced level – with the objective of building a strong platform of knowledge and habits that will allow for maximum development in future years.
