Skibbereen RFC Host Schools Fun Day

A Munster Rugby Schools Fun Day was held on Thursday, 6th June in conjunction with Skibbereen RFC with over 180 boys and girls taking part.

Students from West Cork schools St. Patrick's Skibbereen, Rath N.S., Kilcoe N.S and Abbeystrewry N.S took part in the event coordinated by the Munster Community Rugby Team.

All the participants enjoyed the fine weather while taking part in a number of different games and fun activities.

Skibbereen RFC is one of 23 venues spread throughout the province that will be hosting Munster Rugby Summer Camps from June right through to August 2014.

Camps are open for boys and girls of all abilities from age 6 through to 12 years of age. 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.

Booking is easy, 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.

Each participant will receive an Official Summer Camp Pack comprising an Adidas Summer Camp T-Shirt, Adidas Shorts, Adidas Socks, Adidas 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.
