A unique opportunity to be coached by one of the world’s great coaches.

 “This is a serious rugby camp for serious, aspiring rugby players. The content of the sessions is precise and vital for maximum performance. Players will be surprised, on the one hand, at the simplicity of the tasks and, on the other, in the huge improvements in their performance. Be assured that elite athletic ability is not a fundamental requirement; rugby is a game for all body types!”

 “My belief is that practice does NOT make perfect, only PERFECT practice makes perfect. The sessions will reflect this, plus our insistence that every session will culminate in the game application of the learned techniques. Our inclusion of the evening review sessions will develop understanding; performance without understanding will limit ongoing development.”
