From September, talented sports students at Swansea’s newest college – Gower College Swansea – will be able to sign up for a brand new Rugby Academy.
Endorsed by the Ospreys, the Rugby Academy will feature players from Tycoch and Gorseinon.
“The Academy coincides with the launch of a new course – the BTEC Level 3 Performance and Excellence in Rugby – which includes six hours of dedicated rugby training a week,” says curriculum team leader Marc O’Kelly. “We want to continue to nurture and support the next generation of rugby stars so there is a real focus on this area for the upcoming academic year.”
Players from Gower College Swansea will also be put through their paces when the Welsh Rugby Union launches its Elite Colleges League next season.
The Rugby Academy was officially launched on 31st August at Dunvant Rugby Club.
