Development of athletes

Our Rugby and Cricket Development Programmes are both supported by sports psychology, strength and conditioning, nutrition and performance analysis components in order to give each athlete a full insight into their ongoing development.

Students also have the opportunity to extend their academic studies and sporting pathway with worldwide sports and academic partner institutions, for example, in Australia, New Zealand or other institutions in the US.

Rugby player reviews take place daily through coaching methods and coach interaction but a formal review of the players progress both on and off the field takes place termly. This review also links in with the Richmond American University London academic review structure.
