The Fijian Drua has launched its Academy with 29 players under 16 years of age signing on as its first ever cohort. The Drua Academy is an initiative of the Fijian Drua.

“The Drua Academy is designed to identify, select and help develop selected pool of players nationwide starting this year with the Under 16 Category to provide a sustainable pathway to professional rugby. The programme includes coordinated player identification by Drua Scouts consisting of Drua Development Coaching Staff, FRU High Performance Coaches, provincial coaches and former Flying Fijians.”
Mark Evans | Fijian Drua CEO
“The players were recruited from the Vodafone Deans Competition. They went through a screening programme and today will start their first ever two-day camp. Through dedicated coaching and specialised training programme for each player, we will teach them to hone their natural talents with the rigorous requirements of professional, elite-level rugby by the time they finish high school. The best players coming through this Academy programme then get an opportunity to impress coaches and join the Drua Development programme, making them one step away from being part of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Super Rugby Pacific squad.”
Ben Takubu | Drua Academy Programme Lead
