The structure, knowledge and expertise provided by RAI enabled my daughter to vastly improve her rugby skills, fitness and decision making. She clearly advanced at a greater rate compared to her rugby peers and attained international honours during her time with RAI.James KingParent of Erin, Full Time TY Player
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. We have seen such a positive change in her attitude towards rugby and her overall approach to the sport. One of the most noticeable improvements has been her understanding of nutrition. She went from being the girl who would grab something small before a match to someone who now plans and prepares her own meals, making sure she fuels her body properly for both training and games. The academy has opened so many doors for her, both on and off the pitch. This summer, she travelled to Germany to play rugby, an experience she absolutely loved, and she has already been invited back again. One moment that really stood out to us was when we were recently driving through Stradbally and Eabha said she would do anything to have another year in the academy. That says more than we ever could about the impact the programme has had on her. The memories, friendships, opportunities and personal growth she gained from the experience have clearly stayed with her. As parents, we could not be happier with everything the academy has given her. It has helped her grow in confidence, develop as a rugby player, and learn valuable life skills that extend far beyond the game itself. We would wholeheartedly recommend the programme to any parent considering it for their child. The positive influence it has had on Eabha's development, both as an athlete and as a young person, has been truly remarkable.Sinead Lawlor
