Skills Clinics
Apex Rugby Academy is proud to be the first & leading organisation in Scotland to run professional players skills clinics.
We quickly recognised this concept had never been introduced anywhere in Scotland which led us to our first skills clinic in August 2021 with Glasgow Warriors & Scotland Internationalist Pete Horne.
Since then we have ran skills clinics with 30 + professional rugby players and engaged with 1250 + young rugby players from across Scotland.
At the end of each skills clinic there is the opportunity for a Q&A, autographs and pictures. Our skills clinics are separate to the SRU & independently run.
