Play your Rugby at Accies
Edinburgh Accies welcomes and caters for players at all levels of the game: those wanting to play seriously and looking to develop their game further, those just moving into senior rugby and those who simply enjoy playing. Whilst we pride ourselves on our professional attitude to the game, we continue to foster a traditional club atmosphere.
Our coaching and support team is one of the best in Scotland and we believe in providing a coaching and management structure for all teams, not just the 1st XV. We pride ourselves on our work with developing young players through our weekly coaching sessions, our Accies Centre of Excellence (ACE) and our ACE Academy.
The Club has provided over 100 full internationalists - more than one in ten of all Scottish caps and more than any other club in Scotland - and we continue to supply the Scotland sides with players at all age grades.
We regularly field three teams a week and our coaching ethos is to involve the entire playing squad in our twice-weekly coaching sessions. On Tuesdays the whole squad trains together, with players split into team squads on Thursdays. Each session starts with warm-ups led by our conditioning team.
Coaching sessions are generally held at Raeburn Place. However, between October and February, Thursday sessions are held at Broughton High School’s 3G pitch, which is five minutes walk from the Club.
