ESSEX RUGBY SUMMER CAMPS

FELSTED SCHOOL   1^st -13^th August 2005

We are pleased to announce that we are again running the Essex Rugby Summer Camps, held at Felsted School. These residential courses are open to players of all sizes and abilities, and they will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the best coaches in Essex, in an enjoyable learning environment.

The players will receive the equivalent of 2 months of club coaching during their stay, they will experience a maximum coach/player ratio of 1:8, and will go away with new skills, both on and off the pitch. The players will have access to the swimming pool (with fully qualified lifeguards), tennis, basketball, football and team building games. The rugby content will include the key principles of the game – Running, Handling, Contact and Passing. There will also be visits from Saracens professional players, to compliment the high standards of coaching from the Summer Camp staff.

All staff will be fully qualified RFU coaches, and the programme will be led by professional RFU RDO coaching staff. There will also be a ‘non – rugby’ member of staff, who will be responsible for all matters ‘pastoral’.

HOW TO APPLY

Please print an application form available below or from essexrugby.com, and return to Matt Davies RDO, at the address provided. Places on the courses will be allocated strictly on a first come – first served basis, with only 40 residential places on each course.
