Ulster Rugby Summer Camps – Useful Information

The Centra sponsored Ulster Rugby Summer Camps are a great way to meet new friends, learn new rugby skills and meet your rugby heroes in a fun and safe environment. This year we are running 2 types of camp:-

Junior Camps for children aged 6-13yrs. These camps are open to both boys and girls and are suitable for both experienced and new players to the game. Senior Camps for children aged 14-17yrs. These camps are open to both boys and girls and are suitable for players with previous rugby experience.

 

Junior Camps

There are 16 Junior Camps this year based at a variety of locations around Ulster. These camps are open to both boys and girls and you do not need to have played rugby before to attend. The content of these camps will be skills based with coaches encouraging the development of players predominately through fun activities. Parents and participants should note that due to mixed ability of players and the condition of the ground the amount of full contact games will be restricted.

 

Senior Camps

There are 2 Senior Camps this year, both of which will be based at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown. These camps are open to both boys and girls who have had previous experience of playing rugby. The Senior Camps will utilise some of the facilities at the Sports Institute Northern Ireland and the content of the camps will focus on the technical, tactical, physical, mental and lifestyle aspects of Rugby Union.

Participants on the Senior Camps will also be put through their paces by staff and coaches of the Ulster Rugby Academy.

Visit by a member of the Ulster Senior Squad

Ulster Rugby will endeavour to ensure that both the Junior and Senior camps will receive a visit by at least one member of the Ulster Senior Squad at some stage during the week of the camp. This will afford participants the opportunity to take photo, get autographs and to ask the player any questions. It should be noted however that circumstances beyond our control mean that there may be the possibility that player visits may have to be cancelled at short notice.
