Fact File
The onset of professionalism within the game has seen a change from the historically dominant route of School to University to Club with most major Clubs now operating an Academy structure. Aside from the playing side of the game the Academies offer alternative rugby-career progression options in coaching, conditioning, promotion and administration etc.

The Club Academies provide a key ‘stepping stone’ for those who are most serious about forging a career in the game.
