Welcome to Rugby Buddy Skill Academy
Already playing for your school or club? Great—keep going!
I’m not here to replace that. I’m here to supercharge it.
Let’s be honest:
Not enough touches on the ball?
Feedback too generic?
Progress feeling slow?
Dreaming of pro-level coaching?
That’s where the Rugby Buddy Skill Academy steps in.
I complement your current training and fast-track your development—so you get sharper, and stand out from the pack.

Hi. I’m Charlie and welcome to Rugby Buddy.
As a former professional rugby player for Sale Sharks, Saracens, England and The British and Irish Lions, I understand the trials and tribulations associated with the rugby world and I am all too aware of how difficult it can be. I’ve lived it all, and I know how valuable customised support can be at every stage.
That is why I created Rugby Buddy. My goal is to establish in every young rugby player both the mindset and technical ability essential for success, ensuring they excel both on the field and in life.
Through online programmes and/or in person sessions, I provide a safe and fun space to address both the practical and mental challenges young athletes face. I coach them to manage pressure, build real confidence, and develop the mental edge they need to perform when it matters most.
