DAVIDS VISION FOR HIS ACADEMY

“To create players and coaches of significance”

The David Campese 15’’s & 7’s Rugby Academy is a unique – offering of coaching programs for both players (girls and boys) and coaches in both codes of Rugby Union – 15’s and 7’s. David’s vision for his Academy is to always maintain his personal involvement with each individual program/team, ensuring that his signature coaching style encouraging creativity, unpredictability and flair, is the top priority.

“Over the years, I have experienced first hand, the frustration of players and coaches from all over the world, who are just as passionate about the game as I am, but are lacking the opportunity to access a style of coaching that develops expansive and attacking rugby. Through my Academy I am creating a pathway to spend time with these people and impart my experience and knowledge. My aim is to encourage players and coaches to embrace this style of rugby for both the 15’s and 7’s codes. I want players to become confident to play the running game and for coaches to see the benefits and allow players to be creative. I want to see players side-stepping, swerving, doing the Goosestep!”

My vision for my Academy is to “CREATE PLAYERS AND COACHES OF SIGNIFICANCE” says David.
