In a Rugby mad country such as South Africa, it is amazing that professional rugby academies open to our youth are not all that common. However that is all changing thanks to “Future Boks Rugby Academy”
In so doing they are able to produce young players who’s skill sets are streets ahead of players of the same age who have only been exposed to the usual schools rugby programmes.
As a direct result of the academy’s work, talented players are then showcased and promoted to the top rugby playing high schools in the country. It is a well known fact that the best rugby schools source their young players from smaller schools or opposition schools. Future Boks Rugby Academy is now providing these schools with a massive new talent pool to pick from.
Another major plus for the Academy is their focus on rugby safety. Their view is simple, the better our kids are trained and developed the less chance there will be for serious injury. Rugby is a full contact sport and we all except this, but to minimize the risk our players need to be fully educated and proficient in techniques to manage the contact.
Any Parent with a young son who is going to play the game or is currently playing should really consider talking to the academy.
Who knows yours might well be a Future Bok!
