Program
Rugby Vic Pathway Programs provide an environment for aspirational U13-U20 players to explore their potential and access the support they need to achieve their sporting goals.
We recognize the pathway to professional rugby is not linear and can differ greatly from player to player due to early/late developers and variance in training age. For this reason, our programs are flexible and include many entry and exit points.
As each step in the pathway progresses, the expectation in terms of time commitment, training intensity, and off field commitment increases. As does the support offered to help players meet the increasing challenges. We appreciate the pathway to professional sport is not for everyone.
