Rugby Academy

Build your skills. Build your game.

 About the Academy

The Wanneroo Academy of Rugby is a specialist off-season program designed for 14–18 year old male and female athletes who want to advance their skill sets to the next level.

Across two training blocks (off season and preseason ), players will develop their core rugby skills  in alignment with a high-performance framework that combines on-field drills with strength and conditioning and speed and agility programs. The focus is on building strong fundamentals — passing, catching, tackling, breakdown, kicking, and conditioning — in a way that’s fresh, engaging, and enjoyable. The Academy is about individual player development in a team setting.

What You’ll Gain

✅ A stronger skill set across all areas of the game
✅ Improved conditioning and correct gym technique
✅ Coaching from accredited, high-level coaches
✅ Exposure to representative-level coaching methods
✅ The chance to learn in a fun, challenging, game-based environment
