Aims of the Academy

At Ivybridge Community College Rugby Academy we believe in the English Rugby Football Union’s core values of Team Work, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship.

We believe that our young players are at their most effective when they work closely as a team with others, and that respect is the bedrock of the Rugby Academy. Students are encouraged to show respect to anyone they encounter both on and off the pitch. We believe enjoyment does not come only from winning, it is a result of developing a passion for the game, working hard, improving skills, spending time with friends and bettering oneself regardless of whether you win or lose. Discipline is an important part of this, helping develop our students’ characters, resulting in stronger, fitter and more successful players. Win, lose or draw, our students are encouraged to show exemplary sportsmanship, congratulate and shake the hand of their opponent.
