DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION
CLOSING THE GAP
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy approach to player and coach development is based on the Six Pillars of High Performance model. Each component is critical to developing a professional rugby mindset. This mindset will promote a healthy rugby and life balance while developing life skills that transcend rugby.
IDENTIFICATION
EIRA is passionate about nurturing character and potential. We teach our players and coaches to embrace learning in a culture that cares and empowers creativity, curiosity, and love for the game. Our game-based approach coupled with an emphasis on core skills is tailored to develop intelligent decision-makers.
EIRA Prospects
In following our mission to identify and develop the next generation of rugby players in America, EIRA is accepting nominations of athletes who wish to improve their skill, ability and mental approach to rugby. If you are interested or know someone who is interested, please share this link.
Academies and Clinics provide the necessary skill development. Continuity with this development is
provided through winter camps and summer tours. EIRA believes ongoing skill development combined with international tours not only provides the individual player personal experience of the fast-paced skilled game of other nations, but also enhances the development of their home club with this new-found knowledge.
