Testimonies

“The structure, knowledge and expertise provided by RAI enabled my daughter to vastly improve her rugby skills, fitness and decision making and provided the tools to ensure continued development through her rugby career. She clearly advanced at a greater rate when compared to her rugby peers and attained international honours during her time with RAI.”
James KingParent of Erin, Full time TY girl player

“I learned many new skills and a lot about the technical side of the game. The coaches helped every player identify weaknesses and improve and my fitness levels are way better from all the exercises we did in the gym and on the pitch. The Rugby Academy is a great way to get better at the game and having fun while at it.”
Alanah FrazerTY Women's Player 2019/2020
