Newcastle Rugby Foundation Launches Residential Rugby Camps for Young Players

Tuesday 10 March 2026 Written by: Rose Mclean

Young rugby players across the region have the opportunity to take their game to the next level this summer as we open bookings for our Residential Rugby Camps.

Our camps are designed for aspiring players who want to immerse themselves in the game, combining high-quality coaching, personal development and unforgettable team experiences.

Delivered by our experienced coaching team, the camps provide a supportive environment where we help young players develop their skills, build confidence and create lasting friendships.


A Unique Rugby Experience

Our residential camps give young players the chance to experience life like a professional rugby player.

Across the week, participants take part in daily rugby coaching sessions, skill development and team activities designed to improve both individual performance and understanding of the game.

Sessions focus on key areas including:

  • Attack and defence skills
  • Position-specific coaching
  • Game awareness and decision-making
  • Strength and conditioning
  • Nutrition and recovery

Our camps are open to players of all abilities, whether they are new to rugby or already playing regularly for their school or club.


More Than Just Rugby

While rugby is at the heart of our camps, we also focus on helping young people grow in confidence, independence and teamwork.

Throughout the week participants will take part in:

  • Team-building activities
  • Workshops on nutrition and performance
  • Opportunities to learn more about the professional game
  • Competitive matches and festival-style play

The week concludes with a final match experience, where players can put everything they’ve learned into action.


A Safe and Supportive Environment

Our residential camps are delivered by qualified Newcastle Rugby Foundation coaches, with safeguarding and player welfare always our top priority.

Participants stay on site with accommodation and meals provided, allowing them to fully focus on their rugby development while enjoying a fun and social experience with other young players.
