Summer pre-season rugby "camp" at Letchworth

Socious Sports (click here for their website) are running a five-day rugby camp at Letchworth this summer from 28th August to 1st September, open to anyone aged 6-18. The "camp" will be a full-day event, starting at 9.30 each day and ending at 3.15.

The coaches all come from the southern hemisphere and include trainers who have worked with the junior All Blacks, the Samoan national team, and the Fijian Sevens team. Coaching covers all aspectsof the game - and participants even learn to do the haka at the end of the camp!

Obviously this is not specifically a girls event, and its pretty certain that the majority of those taking part will be boys - but if a few of you went then it would help dilute that problem.

The cost is £117.50 for the five day course - which compares very favourably indeed with other rugby camps. And if you've got a spare bedroom and can accommodate one of the coaches for a week, your daughter might even be able to attend free!

If that particular week is a problem then there is course on somewhere in Hertfordshire pretty much every week throughout the summer, including OAs (24-28 July), Hemel (7-11 August), and Royston (14-18 August).

Registration forms are available on the website, or in the "shop".
