Summer Camp Fun Kicking Off : Irish Rugby

School is (nearly) out for summer! Centra Summer Camps are kicking off the length and breadth of Ireland so don't miss your chance to learn more rugby skills this summer.

Summer Rugby Camps are a great way for your child to learn about rugby in a safe and controlled manner. Boys and girls aged 6 and upwards can take part in week-long camps througout Ireland.

The camps are managed and run by fully accredited IRFU coaches.

Children who participate in the camps will get the chance to make new friends, meet professional players, learn more about rugby values such as team work, commitment and integrity, and also become more aware of the importance of physical fitness.

All this while learning to develop the basic rugby skills and most important of all - HAVE FUN!

The Centra Summer Rugby Camps are run through the four provincial branches. For more information or to book your place, click on the links below.

Ireland Under-20 head coach Nigel Carolan looks forward to the 2015 campaign and discusses the objectives for his squad this season. There is a strong emphasis on player development at this level which Carolan believes is important in bringing young talent through to the professional game.

The IRFU officially launched a bid to host RWC 2023 in The Royal School, Armagh last week with the backing of the two governments. Check out our highlights from the day.
