TOTAL RUGBY CAMPS
AS ALWAYS TRC STRIVES TO IMPROVE THE TRC CAMP EXPERIENCE - NEW FOR 08!
Total Rugby Camps will continue to provide participants, regardless of code
played, with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to evolve and
improve the generic skills and techniques needed to succeed
in today’s competitive Rugby environment.
These action-packed Total Rugby Camps will offer boys
and girls between the ages of 8-18 the chance to develop their
games under the instruction of the country’s top RFU & RFL
qualified coaches. The camps will be delivered under each
code's prospective quality assurance framework, ensuring
that the quality of coaching is second to none. The venue
for the camp will be the state of the art Hopwood Hall Sports
Academy Complex, which contains some of the most up to date
and prestigious sporting facilities available nationally;
all of which will be incorporated into the programme.
The programme is holistic in terms of complete player development,
and combines proven best practice coaching principals with
a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. The programme aims to provide
players with the best opportunity to progress in terms of
technical, tactical and physical development, utilising techniques
from other sports such as Basket Ball and Boxing. The Total
Rugby Camp concept will also include sessions focusing on
techniques unique to each code such as defence, marker play,
kicking, rucking , mauling and scrummaging
Each coach participating in Total Rugby Camps programme
will have undertaken a Child Protection Awareness Programme
and completed an Enhanced CRB Disclosure. Each coach will
also be fully aware of responsibilities relating to the pastoral
welfare of all young people who attend the course, and will
be confident and competent in managing all situations which
may arise. We will also have a youth worker situated at each
venue to ensure that every child’s well being is a
top priority.
Also, we recognise as a priority, our responsibility
to ensure the safety and well being of all participants in
Total Rugby Camps. There will be designated medical professionals
at each Total Rugby Camp with responsibility for first aid
and dealing with any injuries and incidents which may occur.
All participants will be grouped according to age range and
ability. This division aims to ensure that situations do
not arise where children are mismatched physically, and therefore
lessen the risk.
All participants will receive branded apparel, rugby ball,
certificates and more importantly a personal coaching development
plan, based up on their performance over the three day camp.
Our sponsors 'KOOGA' will provide players for guest
appearances.

"The essence of the game is
about handling and passing not contact. That should be a secondary
skill, not a primary one. We won the world cup by having players
who were fantastic passers of the ball. Precious few Rugby
Union players are taught how to pass properly. The RFU has
only just begun teaching it in its junior national academy
using a former league player."
