This February half-term, Richmond Rugby Club welcomed over 65 young players, ranging from U4s to U16s, for a week of rugby development and enjoyable activities. With a mix of skill-building drills, engaging games, and plenty of teamwork, the camp provided a great experience for both our mini and youth age groups.

A Week of Rugby and Learning

Day 1 - Minis (U4-U11):
Our youngest players started the week with a warm welcome and an introduction to rugby. The morning focused on passing development drills and mini-games like Fox Tails and Sharks & Fishes. After a lunch break and some indoor games, the afternoon featured rugby-based activities such as Stuck in the Mud and Rob the Nest, which were thoroughly enjoyed.

Day 2 - Minis (U4-U11):
Another enjoyable day with a focus on skill-building. The morning included passing drills and Bulldog, leading into an afternoon of Rugby Netball and Ultimate Tag. Ultimate Tag was especially popular, bringing out all the competitive energy.

Day 3 - Minis & Youth:
With both age groups on the pitch, the day offered a variety of skill challenges. The minis worked on ball pick-ups and try-scoring drills, while the youth players focused on passing and evasion techniques. After lunch, the youth group had a gym session followed by rugby development games, while the minis wrapped up with relay races.

Day 4 - Youth Only (U11+):
The final day focused on developing advanced skills. The morning covered kicking techniques, including a game of Kick-Golf. The afternoon featured a mix of gym training and rugby constraint games, encouraging players to apply their skills in different scenarios.

Co-Head of Community George Nugent said "It was great to see so many new faces as well as a high level of retention from previous camps. We are very fortunate to have so many great coaches that make the experience so welcoming to the kids that they want to come back."
