Skibbereen Gearing Up For Summer Camps

8th June 2015 By Munster Rugby

The Munster Rugby Summer Camps begin in just three weeks with places still available in the 22 venues throughout the province.

As part of the preparations for the camps, the Munster Rugby Development Department recently visited some of the national schools in Skibbereen. Over 200 children then went to local rugby club, Skibbereen RFC, to spend a morning trying six different fun rugby activities.

At the end of the day, all of the kids went home happy and tired and with a booking form for the 2015 summer camp which you can download here.

Many thanks to the schools and their teachers for supporting the day out and for Paul Crosse for helping to co-ordinate it.

This summer we have a total of 22 venues throughout the whole province (please see below for your nearest venue).

Please note there is an online booking facility in place – If you wish to book online for your preferred venue you will be asked to register with Easy Payments Plus to ensure secure payment. Please click here for more details.

Camp places are available for boys and girls from 6 years old to 12 years old.

Each camp takes place over one week (Monday through to Friday inclusive) between 9:30am and 1:30pm.

The cost is €;85 per child. Additional children from the same family can attend for the discounted rate of €;75 per child.

Each participant will receive an Official Summer Camp Pack comprising an Adidas Summer Camp T-Shirt, Adidas Shorts, Adidas Socks, Draw-String Bag, Mouth Guard and one Junior ticket to a Munster pre-season match.

Children who participate in the camps will get the chance to make new friends, learn more about rugby values such as team work, respect and integrity, and also become more aware of the importance of physical fitness. All this while learning to develop the basic rugby skills of passing, tackling (in a controlled environment), evasion and kicking. Most of all we guarantee lots of fun!

To facilitate the appropriate attention, participants will be divided by their age into groups. Central to the Munster Rugby Summer Camps philosophy is ensuring the introduction to the game of Rugby in a safe and controlled manner.

The Camps will be managed and run by fully accredited I.R.F.U. Mini Rugby coaches. All Summer Camp staff have undertaken the National Garda Vetting process required to comply with the IRFU policy regarding recruitment and vetting to work in age grade rugby.
