Fantastic resource, both my son's actively use, be it following a structured training plan which gives them focus and help hone their skills, taking part in the academies challanges which brings a fun yet competitive element and weekly video analysis from Ben which helps and gives them that personal Interaction. Ben not only offers feedback he also challenges on how to improve. This isn't a generic academy it's a personal experience each person will find different. I also use it when I need ideas for when I'm coaching, some times as a coach you need to try something new or ask other coaches and the community for ideas and advice. The RT academy does this. Highly recommend

An absolutely brilliant platform which is easy to use and my son absolutely loves getting stuck in to all it has to offer. He is currently following the passing and rucking programme and you can already tell his technique and skill has improved massively. Lastly the personal touch of giving individual feedback on recorded sessions is brilliant and really encourages my son to improve and work on the points that are raised. Thank you!

Fantastic programme that took my son from nervous, non tackling to playing for Schoolboys in less than a year. Really well laid out, clear and concise and ideal for both parents who know the game and those who don't. Can't recommend it enough!!

The training academy has given me greater insight into my coaching as an U12s coach as well as helping my son in the garden with his skills. It also is very good in giving great and constructive feedback. Best coaching program out there and much better than spending hours trawling through youtube.

We have been members of the Rugby Trainer Academy for six months and I’ve been really impressed with this unique coaching approach. I’m an U12s rugby coach and also have two boys in the team. As a coach I love the video libraries of the skills with detailed coaching points and different angles. I’m able to use these skills at home and take them onto the pitch into my coaching sessions. Theresa skills are easy to understand and easy to implement. This would be impossible to achieve in written text. The weekly zoom coaching sessions are really engaging and both my boys love them. They are very different to normal rugby training sessions as they focus on individual key skills, which are always delivered at a fast pace with loads of enthusiasm and with lots of instant personalised feedback. The time flies by and Ben is able to cover so much. My favourite part of the RT Academy is the video feedback - each week I submit two 5 min video clips of my boys’ matches or skills training and Ben reviews the videos and provides amazing positive and constructive feedback in a supportive way. As a coach, I often watch videos of games back but Ben is able to spot details that I wouldn’t see and then provides feedback on skills or techniques to improve. The way that Ben delivers this feedback really motivates my boys and has made a massive difference to their game. I would highly recommend the RT Academy for both players and coaches of teams for U9 upwards.

Joined 4 weeks go and in that time I have seen a big difference in my lads confidence and skills and he has also noticed it himself when passing the ball around in garden. He always looks forward to the feed back. He has noticed how important it is to work on the little things. The program is great for finding other drills to do when he wants to stay out and do extras.

Since enrolling my child in The RT Academy I have seen a remarkable transformation in his confidence levels.


He used to hesitate and doubt his abilities, but now he steps up with a newfound self-assurance and focus. Ben has a unique way of breaking down skills and encouraging him to push his limits, which has not only improved his technique but has also made him believe in himself. Watching him play with such passion and confidence has been amazing, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact this program has had on him—both as an athlete and as a young person growing into his potential.

Jake has improved his tackling technique so much in the short time we’ve been using the rugby trainer. Ben is so helpful to working on even the smallest details that make such a difference. Also me and Jake have enjoyed the father son time doing the extra training which I have noticed his improvement during games

The Academy has been amazing and helped Tamzin so much. We signed her up after a pretty bad knock to her confidence and it was the best decision we could have made. The structured, varied skills training has so many options to delve into to and there's training for every aspect of rugby training. The weekly feedback was definitely a game changer. The positive, constructive encouragement provided by Ben made such a difference to both Tamzins confidence and her skill level. We have so much respect for the academy and thoroughly recommend it to everyone thinking of signing up.

Azzie has been part of the Rugby Skills Academy since last March, where Ben John has been his dedicated coach and mentor. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, Azzie’s skills as a player have improved significantly. He particularly enjoys the sessions with Ben, and we make sure to send him videos of Azzie’s progress every week. Azzie has recently moved on to the elite program and has been loving every moment of it, with Ben being an exceptional mentor throughout. Under Ben's tutelage, Azzie has been able to excel and exceed his goals. He has had the honor of being the school captain for the rugby festival, as well as the captain of his rugby team. Additionally, after rigorous trials last September, he was selected for the North East Wales U11 team, even playing a year up. The relationship Azzie has built with Ben is nothing short of fantastic. He is a brilliant role model, Azzie is constantly learning new techniques and skills from him. We are grateful for his mentorship and the opportunities he has provided Azzie to grow and succeed in the sport.

Thanks so much we cannot recommend the academy enough. Lewis’ confidence has grown and he thoroughly enjoys the training each week. The time you dedicate to improving each of the academy members game is fantastic. The training sessions are fun and the drills are invaluable to developing confidence and improving skills. Lewis particularly enjoys the weekly feedback on his videos sent in incredibly helpful and it has helped take his game to another level. Thanks Ben.

As a family we are in amazement at the improvements made by Logan regarding his tackle confidence and how this has developed in such a short space of time. The weekly video analysis sessions are invaluable. We load your feedback onto his tablet and use this as part of his game preparation where he views each weeks feedback to get the visualisation of the tackle technique prior to attending his games. I can honestly say his tackle confidence has greatly improved within the 5 weeks in the Academy. He is now no longer scared of larger players running at him and he has a better understanding of how to use his legs to power through the tackle. Tackling was a big asset from him today during his recent games. We cannot wait to see where his Academy journey takes him.

The Academy has given me the confidence to coach in a second sport. It provides the individual and team with an in depth breakdown of the skills they need to play and put a plan in place for them to improve each skill.

The Academy has had a tremendous impact on my son. In just a year, Toby's confidence has soared, his passing ability has greatly improved, and he genuinely enjoys rugby now. Coach Ben's attention to detail and expert guidance have helped Toby understand the game's nuances, making him not only a better player but also a smarter one. We are incredibly grateful for Coach Ben's dedication and passion. Thank you Mark

Ben's content is exceptional for players and coaches alike. With his engaging and friendly delivery, he has helped both my son and I to improve as a player and a coach. I'd highly recommend The Academy to anyone looking to improve their skills!

As a family we are in amazement at the improvements made by our son since joining the Academy. During the season he sustained a freak finger injury resulting in a severe loss of confidence in all skill especially his tacking. The weekly programmes have been invaluable in his skill development and his restoration of his confidence. I would say he has become even more confident in his skills since working week on week with the Academy. The weekly video analysis sessions are invaluable. We load the personalised feedback onto his tablet and use this as part of his game preparation where he views each weeks feedback to get the visualisation of the tackle technique/skills prior to attending his games. I can honestly say his tackle confidence has greatly improved resulting in 2 tournament wins and 2 runner up placings this season. Big thanks to the academy for restoring our sons confidence following injury and getting him playing at a higher level.

Taylor has absolutely loved being in the Academy. I think what we really found amazing was if there was a part of his game he struggled on that weekend, we could go and find drills that would directly improve that part of his game. Best money we’ve spent in his development

Eleanor and Isabelle have been doing the academy for sometime and have learnt a lot and it is seen when there on the pitch playing. The skills that they have learnt have helped them to become better players and this is not gone unnoticed by there coaches and other players. With Isabelle it has also helped her with her speed and confidence on the pitch.

Our son has been doing the rugby academy for 3 weeks and we have already seen a big difference in the improvement with his skills. The live sessions are very good, he really enjoys them and gets a lot out of them and so do we! Ben makes the live sessions personal by giving everyone feedback which is fantastic. It is worth every penny and we can't wait to see how his game improves next season. Its a definite thumbs up from Mason. 😁

The academy has been brilliant for Ollie. The confidence he has gained in ball skills and tackling is just amazing in a short time. A shout out with advice on how to improve in the weekly skill sessions makes his day! Ollie is only an under 9, but the improvement is very clear- picked up and congratulated by his team coaches. Thanks Ben!

The Academy gave us access to a incredible database of training videos. This year with the exams prep my son was able to train at his own pace in his own time and he has managed to improve his play. There are many thing about the academy but one of the most important one is that you can chose your training sets for different skills from the video database.

What a brilliant thing to be involved in. Ben is so helpful with his expert knowledge and even better he’s a genuinely nice guy who helped with some things my son was going through. I can’t recommend using the academy highly enough. Thanks Ben

The academy is really well structured and is unique in that it gives one to one support as well as a group to interact with and learn at the same time. The video sessions are well put together and provide clear instructions to help in all areas of the game and core skills. It really helped me a lot to improve my ball handling.

The academy helped Finleys confidence first and foremost! The detail and explanation with each drill were spot on and its lessons are invaluable. Finley had the game of his life on Sunday earning him player of the match and it’s a complete transformation of the player he was when he started! Unfortunately I am no longer coaching due to my youngest joining football but having the skills and drills available to help my group was amazing and also built confidence in me that I had the knowledge and knew what I was talking about thanks to Ben! Keep doing what your doing as you will be helping so many players and we will keep an eye out on your YouTube channel for sure!
