GRYPHONS RUGBY ACADEMY

Background

GRA

The Gryphons Rugby Academy was conceptualised in 2020 by Raffles Rugby Union and started operations in 2023. It is a junior rugby academy with a vision to help aspiring junior rugby players improve their rugby skills and develop as rugby players to their full potential.

 

The Gryphons Rugby Academy is a junior rugby club is open to the public; and hopes to

  • develop a vibrant rugby culture within the academy that encourages youth participation and engagement in the game of Rugby; and create a vibrant rugby community for the boys from Raffles Institution and the participating rugby players from all other schools.
  •  

At Gryphons Rugby Academy, we believe that rugby should not only be for the privileged.

  • Our youth, regardless of economic and social status, must be given the opportunity to achieve rugby excellence through:
    • Quality Coaches and Coaching;
    • Opportunity to train and play rugby with a wider spectrum of boys from varied social, cultural, and economic backgrounds;
    • Opportunity to go on rugby tours, experiencing overseas travel as a team and develop strong friendships with the larger rugby community.
    •  
  • We believe that the sport of rugby can be a useful means to nurture youth leadership, and the inculcation of the values of integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect.
  • We believe that success is no accident, it is a result of preparation. All our programs focus on preparing our boys physically, mentally and socially; with the aim of being successful in rugby, and in life.

 

Gryphons Rugby Academy trainings are based in Raffles Institution on Saturday afternoons.  All interested youth rugby players (age 13-17) who would like to join us can reach out to us at [email protected]
