Galwegians RFC runs one of the biggest youth sections in the country and the Galwegians Youth Academy has become one of the most vibrant sections of the club with over 400 players and over 50 coaches and team managers.

The main aim of the Academy is to provide a safe and fun environment for young people to learn how to play top quality rugby. Players from ages 6 to 16 tog out every Saturday morning while the older 17 to 19 age groups train on week nights. Training info is available here

Last season was another particularly successful one on the pitch with a haul including 2 Connacht Cups and  and a Connacht League Title.

The Minis (under 7 to under 12) participate in regular Mini-Blitz tournaments both at home and away with clubs all over the country throughout the season. In a longstanding tradition, the U12s go on tour to London at the end of each season and there are also trips for various grades to watch Ireland play.

The Youth (under 13 to under 19) age groups participate in provincial league and cup competitions in Connacht, as well as invitation matches around the country.

Membership is open all season long. The subscription is €120 per juvenile member, with discounts available for family membership. For further information please contact us.

The Youth Academy would like to thank it's generous sponsors, especially NESTOR'S SUPERVALU and Farrell Coaches, for their continuing support.
