The Norwich Rugby Academy (supported by Titan Wealth) is led and managed by Ron Munson. It is his task to ensure the Academy has a strategic direction and all of its work is coordinated to reach its aims and to ensure the budget is well spent. 

It is made up of our U16s and U17/18 boys and girls into one entity coached by senior staff, who are led by Head Coach Dave Tiueti. The Academy boys train together but still compete in separate age groups in their respective fixtures. The girls train separately from the boys and are coached by Academy coaches.

The Academy aims to upskill players and replicate patterns of play of the senior sides, ensuring a smooth transition to senior rugby and also promote rugby across schools in the city. We have a coaching team dedicated to helping these players combining core skills, strategies, S&C training and potentially working with psychologists to help build resilience.

The Academy has its own brand and identity, creating a unifying ‘esprit des corps’ that brings people together to achieve a common goal. Whilst we strive for excellence, we are inclusive with our approach, encouraging all players and recognising the individual journeys of young players.

Alongside its own coaching team, the Academy sides have their own kit, both on the field and off the field to help create an identity.

Girls Academy training takes place at the club on Tuesday (6.30-8pm) and boys on Thursday (6.30-8pm) with fixtures taking place on Sundays.
