● Team First Attitude: Having great teamwork and team spirit is something that will be involved in many other parts of a player’s life. No matter what they do or where they go in life, a player should always strive to be part of groups that are bigger than themselves.

● Work Ethic: Consistent focus on what players do to improve through the way we focus,

our attention to detail, our attitude, and our desire to improve

● Respect for Self and Others: Strive to respect, value, and appreciate yourself and others

● Ongoing Pursuit of Knowledge: Constantly ask yourself, “what have I learned, what can this teach me, and where can I grow in my own knowledge of the game?”

Structure

The remainder of our Spring 2026 Academy will be announced in the near future. We currently have a Player ID Camp for HS Girls (DOB Year 2007-2012) set to take place on April 11 at Centerville Elementary School which will give players an opportunity to earn selection for future tours.

Additionally, players from the Rugby PA/Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union catchment area will have a chance to earn selection to the Great Northwest Challenge in Bozeman, Montana on June 13, and 14.

The Academy is part of the USA Rugby National Pathways Development Program and the players' performances are an evaluation for recommendation to the USA age grade (U18 and U20) pathways. The training Academy is comprised of four main components to develop the Atlantis Core Values:

● Technical skills & tactical knowledge

● Mindset and player centered game approach

● Offensive and defensive strategies

● Positioning work

The Goal

The goal of Atlantis Rugby is to bring together elite players identified through a variety of means - our Training Academy, showcase tournament, camps, clinics, coaches recommendations, RugbyPA performance, and local competition identification - for selection to our North American 7’s series competitions and regional 15’s high performance games.

The Atlantis High Performance training Academy is for rugby players interested in improving their skills, preparing for the USA Pathways age grade programs, or who want to continue playing after High School.

We compete against other state, regional, and MLR Academy programs in matches and tournaments after the end of the local area SBRO competitions. Any questions, please contact Jack Foley, 610-405-4734 or foley@atlantisrugby.com
