Our daughter, Eabha, took part in the TY programme last year, and to say she enjoyed it would be an understatement. From the incredible coaches who supported and encouraged her, to the lifelong friendships she made along the way, the experience has been truly transformational.Sinead Lawlor
A week-long intensive training camp at RAI Academy has just come to an end! An extraordinary experience that we’ll definitely repeat next year. Elite, exceptional coaches who pay close attention to every technical detail of rugby. A comprehensive and holistic camp that can significantly correct and improve the athletic performance of young rugby players!Armean Mariana
It all started as a simple birthday present: two weeks at the RAI Rugby Academy summer camp. I had no idea that experience would have such a profound impact on my son. He enjoyed it so much that, despite being introverted and shy, he chose to spend an entire season, from September to April, at Stradbally Hall.Rosario
