ACCELERATE YOUR GAME
BESPOKE RUGBY TRAINING BY DUNCAN HODGE
"I love rugby and coaching. Scotland has so much young talent. My professional and international experience as a player and coach helped me identify a ‘training gap’ in the development of Scotland’s most promising players. I created Accelerate Rugby to fill that gap. Our mission is to help young athletes take their game to the next level."

Some will focus on specialist areas. Participants will be limited.

We know the profound benefits of one-to-one and small group coaching. Our private training programs focus on specialist skills and would utilize video for analysis and player education.
