Menlo-Rugby strives for excellence in two areas: the maximum development of the potential of each player, regardless of the team in which he plays, and the exposure of each player to the most modern technology and methodology in coaching. Thus our comfortable reaches the highest heights.
The dynamic between professional coaching and a drive for development brings an Absolute Menlo enthusiasm and team spirit that is so powerful that the Menlo Rugby Academy, led by Mr. Dean van der Watt, ensures an active, disciplined lifestyle and internalization of the school motto, viz. Excelsa Petamus (we strive for the highest). Menlo-Rugby is firmly established on a foundation of strict discipline that is non-negotiable.
Menlo Rugby stands on two legs: the Rugby Academy, with visionary rugby management, and the Menlo Supporters Club (HRC), which ensures that passion and enthusiasm motivate and inspire our rugby boys and aim them, in collaboration with the community, to keep Menlo rugby dynamic.
