These camps include training with a focus on technique, plays, special formations and movements that every rugby player must know in order to perform properly on the field.
The coaches also focus on the physical development of the players, with conditioning sessions to improve the boys’ endurance; with exercises that also help them optimize their strength, agility and speed.
Of course, games and adapted exercises are organized with all camp attendees. The idea is to foster a strong and healthy competitive spirit in the players, all while polishing their skills and enjoying the unique characteristics of a sport as peculiar as rugby.

Especially in the case of these camps in England, where your child will have the opportunity to communicate with native English speakers, who will be their peers.
Of course, the classes are taught by certified teachers and professionals in this area. In addition, concepts oriented to the sports area are included, so that the learning of the language can be applied to rugby and its tactical aspects.
Lessons can last up to three hours a day, with both theoretical and practical parts. The objective is for the children to broaden their knowledge of grammar, phonetics and pronunciation of the language.
In addition, it should be emphasized that language classes do not interfere with any sporting activity.

Recreational activities, field trips, excursions and group dynamics are an important part of the rugby camp experience.
From visits to historical sites in the city, walks to parks or excursions to majestic natural landscapes; the recreational plan of these camps is of an optimal level and creates unique experiences that remain in the retinas of the children for a lifetime.
Visits to amusement parks, renowned universities or other activities such as hiking can also be included.
The camp also allows students to connect with nature and leave aside their cell phones and social networks, which nowadays consume a large part of young people’s time.
Likewise, it is an opportunity to disconnect from the stress of your daily routine or school; experiencing something completely different in a new country and with classmates to meet.
