The Academy offers high quality fitness and skills training to help aspiring Rugby athletes improve their play and help them reach their highest potential on the field. I strive to make training fun and enjoyable whilst ensuring it is challenging enough to push players to reach their potential. Whether you want to head for the professional leagues or just enjoy the Rugby or fitness environment, MK Rugby Academy has a place for everyone. The Academy doesn't offer play opportunities* but welcomes members from different teams to come and improve their game in a more personalised and focused environment.
*Tours to South Africa will include play opportunities
Why did I set it up?
During my time playing Rugby I have been lucky enough to have grasped many opportunities that have inspired my love for Rugby and the passion I put into continuously improving my game.
Living in New Zealand and South Africa, playing and training alongside some of the best players in the world - including the Spring Bok 7's - are experiences I'll never forget and ones that not only improved my sporting ability but also greatly increased my confidence on and off the field.
Many of these experiences aren't easily accessed and so I want to create a platform on which to offer the very best opportunities and life experiences for young and developing players. I also want to provide high quality training to give aspiring players the best boost and highest chance of achieving their sporting goals.
What is MK Rugby Academy?
Academy structure - how it works
The Academy works via a banding system (see below)
-
The (2 x) weekly fitness/gym sessions are currently run on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5-6pm at Phoenix fitness gym, Kendal.
-
Once you select your plan (Bronze/Silver or Gold), you are tied to it for 3 months but can then swap to a different plan or continue on the one you're on. Payment can happen monthly or in a lump sum for the 3-month block.
There are also MK Rugby Academy holiday camps throughout the year which are open to all (including those who aren't involved in the academy) and are run on a pay as you go basis - contact me for more information about these sessions.
Our Plans
We offer a choice of plans to introduce flexibility into the Academy training. All plans offer the highest quality of training and I recommend you choose the one that fits your lifestyle and schedule best in order to get the most out of what these plans can offer. If you're new to the sport or to MK Rugby Academy then the Bronze plan would provide an affordable taster and introduction into our sessions.
