MENU 27 NOV Harlequins19 - 22London Irish RUGBY CAMPS London Irish Rugby Camps provide a comprehensive coaching programme that will develop the skills and techniques required for today’s modern game. Rugby Camps London Irish Rugby Camps are run over two- or three-day periods and are open to both girls and boys between the ages of 7-15. The camps are held at different clubs and schools around the local community areas. Grasshoppers RFC, Bracknell RFC, Kings House School and Hazelwood Centre – the home of London Irish are examples of our recent hosts. Our main philosophy is to ensure enjoyment and to aspire the participants to improve their skills, knowledge and understanding of the sport. To achieve this, we focus on the core skills including passing, catching, decision-making, running, support play, tackling and much more. After focusing on a few core skills, we like to implement what they have learnt into a game scenario to help them understand why we are practicing certain skills. Doing this allows for the participants to see it in action and to learn when it is effective to perform the skills in a game-based scenario. Skills Clinics The London Irish Skills Clinics are designed for girls and boys aged 12-18. Skills Clinics differ from our normal camps, as the coaches look to break down the skills to the minor details, allowing for a better focus and ability to improve. Our more recent Skills Clinics have focused on kicking, passing, tackling, breakdowns and set pieces. This is a brilliant opportunity for aspiring rugby players to learn from the professionals as we welcome London Irish players to the sessions to offer their advice. This could be Nick Phipps working on passing, Seán O’Brien sharing tips on the breakdown or Blair Cowan showing the perfect tackle technique. Residential Camps The London Irish Residential Camps takes place annually in the summer and is for ages 12-18. This is an opportunity for kids to see first-hand what it is like to train, work, eat and sleep like a professional rugby player. We aim to build the participant’s understanding and knowledge on specific areas of the game while they work and help their fellow players to get the best out of each other in a professional environment. They will also experience other sessions away from the rugby pitch to give them a better understanding of the holistic approach that a rugby player takes. Most people do not see what goes on behind-the-scenes in a professional environment, so this is a chance to see and learn how the professionals prepare away from the field. The participants will get to delve into strength & conditioning, study performance analysis and explore sport psychology. What's included?

Rugby Camps 2020/21 With the Covid-19 outbreak, the decision has been taken to revise the camps for this season to ensure that they are a safe environment, without implicating the knowledge or enjoyment value of the days. With this in mind, the camps will be structured to follow the RFU guidelines.
