From the beautiful Stradbally Hall, the academy operates on a full and half board basis, with top of the range facilities including a state of the art gym, indoor training area, astro and grass training areas, class room facilities, video analysis room, ice bath and exterior strongman gym.

The academy is led by two highly qualified international coaches as well as position specific coaches, Strength and Conditioning experts and professionals from various other disciplines – all geared towards taking player performance to the next level.

Programmes are tailored and structured to individual needs and we use our connections with European and other clubs that lead to scouting opportunities locally and abroad. We adopt an interactive approach to coaching, striving to improve a player’s tactical awareness as well as the technical aspects and core skills of the game.

Self-discipline and respect are fundamental at the academy, helping to create a positive atmosphere, where individuals look out for one another, and develop independence as well as enhancing personal and social skills that set them up well for life.
