This camp, open to all boys entering grade 6-9, is designed to build rugby skills and camaraderie. Rugby is a game of respect which will be at the forefront of all lessons taught in camp. Camp’s goal is to teach the basics of rugby where student athletes will be able to pick up a ball and begin to play just like soccer or basketball. There will not be live contact games or drills, but will teach contact using padded equipment. Mouth pieces are encouraged.
