ABOUT THE ACADEMY

What is the Roebucks Academy?

 

The Academy was founded in 2021 to provide a professionally run rugby programme within a network of further education establishments in the boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham. We have a specific focus on players who have had limited opportunity to play rugby.

 

Our programme ensures players are looked after and developed both on and off the pitch with training delivered by our elite coaching team. We invest in them as humans as well as athletes with support and seminars across a range of topics.

Who is it for?

We work with players who want to play more rugby and are able to work with players of all levels of experience.

 

Our only criteria are that players attend a school or college that does not have its own rugby programme and are willing to work hard and learn.

Aged 16 to 18

THE PROGRAMME

Training 3 times a week, our sessions cover skills and gameplay with a bias towards moving the ball and playing at pace. With gyms at both our Greenwich and Lewisham sites, we offer Strength and Conditioning training and support, with Physiotherapy available for injured players and at matches.

Pastoral and Education

We aim to work hand in hand with our players’ Educational establishment to ensure they’re flourishing in the classroom and on the pitch. Our Seminar Series includes monthly guest speakers across a variety of topics.
