The Team
Established in early 2016 by Philippe Saint-André, Ian Lewis and Graham Ross, PSA Academies has quickly established itself as one of Europe’s foremost high-performance youth sport development businesses.
Launching with the PSA Rugby Academy, Tignes in July 2016, PSA Academies has shaken up the youth sports camp market in rugby. This is a result of delivering a programme that offers a unique, transformative experience for young players of 10 to 17 years, boys and girls. Critically, compared to other operators, our programmes are truly player-centric, combining a lower player-to-coach ratio, detailed player assessment reporting and a commitment to knowing and understanding our players in order to deliver the maximum positive impact on their development.
See our Testimonials section for a flavour of how our Individuals and Group customers have found our programmes and customer service over our 3 successful years in existence.
For 2019, PSA Academies is raising the bar even further with new Rugby Academy programmes (in the France, Ireland and the UK) and a comprehensive High School Programme giving ambitious young players fantastic opportunities to study and play rugby abroad in all the major rugby playing nations.
Our Mission
To become the leading provider of high-performance residential academies, group development trips and educational sports placements that, by providing customised experiences & expert services, exceed the needs & expectations of customers of all ranges of age and playing ability.
