What is the 360 Rugby approach?The 360 Rugby approach is our unique programme that aims to coach young athletes who are interested in any sport (not just rugby) to use a range of transferable skills from one sport to another in ways that improve their wellbeing and athletic ability. We hope to educate young sportspeople through the core values of rugby; teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship. By having a player-centric approach we hope to create a space where our young sportspeople can learn and develop in a way that is responsive to their needs and allows them to find their own rhythm in their personal sporting development. Simply put, 360 Rugby develops athletes through rugby.
