Summer Skills Academy

Our summer academies are a great way to upskill those with experience, reinforce current skill sets or provide a fun learning opportunity for those new to the game.

Our weekly summer academy program is designed exclusively for male and female athletes from U12 to U17.   Our programming is an effective mix of skills and games in a ratio that our expert coaching staff has found conducive to a fun and productive experience.  These sessions include ‘LIVE’, in-person video reflection and assessment, including discussions on the technical aspects of skill development and refinement.

All our sessions are broken into relative age grades and experience levels to ensure a positive, safe, and enjoyable learning environment.

Overview

The program runs two mornings a week for four weeks in early July and ends, early-August

Our staff are recruited from the top rugby universities and colleges across the province! Most of our esteemed staff have come directly from our Junior Academy and have experience with Rugby Canada at the Junior National level.

We regularly utilize video within our learning sessions and often analyze with our players to reinforce the key learning points and address areas of need through self-assessment and observation.

All technical aspects of skill acquisition and refinement are consistent with the parameters outlined by Rugby Canada and their Long-Term Athlete Development Model.
