Girls Senior Academy (U18s)
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.

NORWICH UNDER 18 SENIOR ACADEMY - WILDCATS
Clustering this year with our friends at Lowestoft & Yarmouth and Wymondham RFC our U18s are looking forward to entering into the Norfolk Cup and The Eastern Counties Conference this season. We have joined forces to ensure that the players have adequate numbers in their team to be able to play competitively. We would still welcome any new, emerging or experienced players in the age grade. Being the older girls, they often have to balance part time jobs and revision commitments with their rugby but still train and play on Sundays and Tuesdays respectively, although we are understanding if they cannot make it every week!
Some of these girls have come through the ranks of the Wildcats and it is great to see them being role models for our younger girls whilst also enjoying their own rugby and the opportunities it provides them with.
So if you are in sixth form and want a brief break from the stress of A-levels or just want another excuse to socialise with a group of like minded people come along and give rugby a chance. You’ll see for yourself why it is the sport for every body and what it can do for your confidence and self-esteem.
