How The RT Academy helps junior players improve faster
Jun 13, 2025
Most junior players train hard. Club nights, school sessions, weekend matches. But even with all that effort, real progress can feel frustratingly slow.
Why? Because most training isn’t built for individual development.
Team sessions are great for tactics, teamwork and fitness - but they rarely offer the structure or repetition needed to refine technique, build confidence or master key skills.
That’s where The RT Academy comes in.
The RT Academy: Training that fits into real life
The RTA Squad is our year-round training membership designed specifically for junior players who want to get better. Fast.
Our approach is simple: short, focused, repeatable sessions that help players improve core skills in just 10 minutes a day. No long workouts, no complex drills, no guesswork.
Every plan inside the Squad is built around one clear outcome - whether it’s passing, tackling, kicking, rucking, or movement. And each session follows the same proven structure:
- Drill 1: Build the basics
- Drill 2: Add a challenge
- Drill 3: Test under pressure
This creates consistency, momentum, and confidence - the three things young players need most.
A system that builds belief
The biggest thing we hear from parents? "They finally believe in themselves."
Because when players know exactly what they’re working on, how to do it, and what success looks like, they stop guessing and start progressing.
We call it Top Up in 10™: 10 focused minutes that build:
- Skill depth
- Technical understanding
- Game-day confidence
It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing the right things, consistently.
Designed to support, not replace, team rugby
The RT Academy isn’t here to replace club or school rugby. It’s here to fill the gaps those sessions can’t always cover. To support players who want to take more ownership of their development. And to help them turn effort into real improvement.
Whether your child is just starting out, coming back from a tough season, or chasing the next level - The RT Academy meets them where they are.
Trusted by parents around the world
Thousands of families in over a dozen countries use The RT Academy every week. Some are training in gardens. Some in parks. Some on their own. All of them are getting better.
Because when training fits your life, it happens more often. And when it happens more often, progress is just a matter of time.
If your child is ready to build real skills and game-day confidence in just 10 minutes a day, The RT Academy is ready for them.
