All the sessions will take place under the guidance of Academy Director and former Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer.
The academy will be based in The Sevens Stadium facility, popular for hosting the Emirates Airline Rugby 7s.
The venue boasts of three world-class ovals, two of which are floodlit, six floodlit turf nets and fully equipped changing rooms of the highest standards, suitable for participants of all ages, according to a release.
The facilities have been frequently used by travelling county and international teams. Most recently, the facilities were used by the IPL teams, including Rajasthan Royals, during their preparation for the ongoing IPL.
