My Son just spent 8 months at the academy. Loving every minute of it. Professional coaching fantastic facilities. Amazing accommodation. He learned so much there. Not just about the game but becoming more independent in life itself. Made great friendships that will last a lifetime.

Maximo Clerici
It was a great experience — great organization and always great atmosphere between the students and the teachers. I also really enjoyed my Rugby training — the coaches were excellent, the facilities like the pitches and the gym are in excellent condition, the same applies to rugby materials such as balls, equipment, etc. Maximo Clerici, 18Argentina · English + Rugby Programme, 3 weeks
Paul Fournaut
I spent 2 fantastic weeks in Ireland, studying English at Avanti and improving my Rugby skills. I have to say the overall programme, both English and Rugby, exceeded my expectations — I was really happy with every aspect of it and would be more than happy to repeat the experience. Paul Fournaut, 16France · English + Rugby Programme, 2 weeks
I attended the academy as a new player to rugby after only playing for 1 season. I came out of the camp feeling much more confident about my ability to play the game, and made lots of great friends from all over the world.Zoe BrockWomen's Academy Player, Dubai
