Rugby Camps & Little Falcons
Holiday rugby camps – what’s involved?
Our holiday rugby camps are designed to ignite passion, build skills, and create lasting memories.
From ages 6 to 17, we offer something for every young athlete. Whether your child is a complete beginner or a budding rugby star, our expert Falcons Community coaches will provide high-energy, skill-focused training across one-day sessions and even a five-day residential camps.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page and website for the latest details and ways to book.
Who is it For?
The age limits for our camps are divided by date of birth rather than age group, so a 14-year-old player is eligible until the date of their 15th birthday, and a 5-year-old will need to have turned 6 years old by the start of the camp.
Rugby camps attract boys and girls from all walks of life, some with playing experience, and some who have never played before. More experienced players will still find plenty to enjoy but may be interested in our more intensive Residential Rugby Camps, open to boys aged 13-15 and girls 12-18.
What to expect
Led by our experienced community coaches with appearances from Flacons players, our rugby camps offer an exciting and comprehensive experience for young players of all skill levels.
For our youngest participants, we provide a fun-filled introduction to rugby fundamentals, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of the game. While the older age groups benefit from advanced skill development, focusing on core principles of attack and defence.
What about contact?
From U9’s and above, we begin to introduce young players to the contact-based games and technical skill breakdowns within managed sessions, which we believe are important for each player to develop their awareness, understanding, and decision-making abilities. Exercises such as tackle techniques, wrestling techniques, and a player’s body shape at the breakdown are important skills that introduce and prepare young players for contact, before implementing them in game-based scenarios. Player safety is always our number one priority.
What else you need to know
Will you provide lunch for my child?
Lunch is not provided at these camps. Please make sure your child brings a packed lunch and a refillable water bottle. Children can bring their own healthy snacks and other drinks.
What should my child wear?
Rugby kit, including waterproofs and a change of kit, gum shield (if applicable), trainers, and boots.
Safeguarding
Our coaches are all trained in safeguarding and a first aider will always be on site. Should you have any safeguarding concerns please raise them with the camp manager or for the option to anonymously raise concerns please see our safeguarding page which can be viewed here.
Little Falcons
Little Falcons is designed to introduce children under six to the world of rugby through playful, engaging activities. Our experienced coaches create a fun environment where kids develop key personal developmental skills, create friends, and learn the importance of teamwork.
If they love this then they can join their local clubs or join one of our camps (depending on their age at the time).
