English and Rugby

13-17 year old boys

A unique two week programme, designed for boys who want to develop their physical fitness and rugby skills at the same time as improving their English.

What better place than Rugby School, the birthplace of Rugby Football. Students will play on the pitch where, in 1823, a local boy, called William Webb Ellis first ran with the ball and invented the game of rugby football.

Organised by top Rugby Football Union qualified coaches from the premiership team Northampton Saints, each student is assessed on arrival and after 27 hours of coaching will leave with a thorough understanding of the sport. The course will include individual and team skills, focusing on different aspects of the game handling of the rugby ball, receiving and passing; kicking and tackling; contact and set pieces.

A visit to Franklins Gardens, the home of Northampton Saints will help make this course a truly unforgettable experience.
