We provide guardian programs to support students excel both inside & outside the classroom

Welcome to RV Sport & Education, we specialise in supporting student athletes and their families from Prep School through to University.

Rick Valentine our founder has a unique combination of skills and experience to allow him to lead a team to guide student athletes through their time within education at school and university level to ensure they reach their goals on and off the sports pitch or course.

Our expertise and support follows three key areas:

  1. Our pastoral team have over 20 years experience working within boarding schools and over 10 years experience running boarding houses. This gives us a unique understanding to guide our players through their boarding life.
  2. Our team of coaches are experts in their field, supporting the athletes with their technical, tactical, physical and mental development.
  3. In addition to our pastoral support we understand the importance of health and wellbeing. A happy student athlete is a successful student athlete. Our team support our students in key areas such as rest and recovery, nutrition, injury prevention and recovery.

We are based in Scotland supporting athletes from around the world who are studying at school throughout the UK.
