Children aged six to 16 have a chance to learn the fundamentals of rugby over three weeks of summer camp this August.
The camp will operate under the guidance of Colette McAuley, head coach of the University of Guelph’s women’s rugby team, as well as members of the Gryphon rugby team, along with experienced players from Highland Rugby.
Children aged six to 11 will learn the fundamental movement skills of agility, balance coordination, speed, running, kicking, and throwing, in a well-structured and positive environment.
The 12 to 16 group will learn to train to enhance and develop their overall Sports skills.
The leaders will integrate physical, mental and emotional training components in a structured format.
The camp will take place at the Highland Rugby club’s Victoria Park Fieldhouse in Fergus. Camps run from Aug. 7 to 10, Aug. 13 to 17 and Aug. 20 to 24 from 9am to 4pm.
Registration for the camps ends July 27.
The cost of a week of camp is $150, and includes a T-shirt, a weekly swim, and a staff to camper ratio of 1:9 or better, depending on final registration. For more information, or to register, email giveitatry@highlandrugby.com or call 519-993-2540.
