How does TJs Academy work and when is training?
Although TJs Academy covers three separate age groups they very much work as one. All three age groups train 1together on Wednesday nights from 7-8.30pm with matches taking place on Sundays.
Training sessions have already started and are currently taking place at the club. From November we will move to our brand new, custom built, floodlit 3G facility at Judd School in Tonbridge.
Training sessions tend to be highly active and intense affairs focusing on players’ individual skills and technique, team play and game understanding.
Our aim is to help every player improve and produce highly competitive teams that play good rugby.
We appreciate this is a busy time of life for the boys and that some may be away at boarding school during the week. Therefore, whilst training is strongly encouraged an inability to regularly make midweek training sessions should not prevent you joining and playing for TJs Academy.
What kit do I need to buy?
Just a pair of TJs socks!
