World Rugby's Accelerate Programme is focused on driving sustainable growth across the whole game; through support to Unions to develop their capabilities and expertise in order to maximize the opportunities to grow rugby on and off the pitch.
The Accelerate Programme focuses on a strategic approach to grow and sustain rugby, led by the Women and Girls’ game.
A core element of the Programme is through the creation of digital tools and resources. World Rugby has developed a Strategic Planning Toolkit that covers the below key areas with a whole game focus. Though the Toolkit has a focused lens on the female game a lot of the information outlined can equally be applied to all areas of developing and growing rugby across Unions.
- High-Performance Environments
- Domestic Competitions & Clubs
- Participation
- Visibility & Engagement
- Revenue & Investment
- And identified enablers for successful implementation
The Strategic Planning Toolkit can be accessed at the bottom of this page. Please contact accelerate@worldrugby.org if you have any questions or queries in regard to this resource.
