I think it's the best rugby camp held in Scotland - Parent

Rugby - Boys & Girls Camp

29 July - 2nd August

Strathallan welcomes over 160 players to our summer rugby camp and this is sure to be the case again in 2023. Combining the talents of the coaches with the superb facilities at Strathallan, the camp is built around the foundations of the game and provides an environment that will develop players on and off the field.

Coaching sessions will consist of skill development drills, increasing game understanding and developing the player. While the focus will be improvement across all areas of rugby, we know that enjoyment is the catalyst to improving, so this is central to the programme.

Alongside the rugby, there will be pool recovery sessions, nutrition workshops, S&C workshops (for the older age groups), video analysis and team development sessions.

There will be matches on the final day in which players can put all that they have learned into practice and we look forward to seeing how the boys develop as players over the week.

We strongly advise early booking for this camp to avoid disappointment.
