Live Like a Pro At The Leinster School Of Excellence
The 2016 Bank of Ireland Leinster School of Excellence was launched today at Donnybrook Stadium in Dublin.
The Leinster School of Excellence gives 12 to 17 year old boys and girls the opportunity to experience what a week is like in the life of a professional rugby player.
Leinster stars Josh van der Flier, Garry Ringrose and Ross Molony were at Donnybrook Stadium this morning for the launch.
Now in its eighteenth year, the Bank of Ireland Leinster School of Excellence is aimed at developing players and fine-tuning their skills.
The content of the camp has been developed to reflect the modern game and as a result has become the highlight of the summer calendar for many players. The camp is hosted in The King’s Hospital School, Palmerstown, which has been its home since it began in 1998.
Players attending will learn to play the Leinster way as they will gain greater understanding of the game and learn about values such as teamwork, commitment, integrity and communication.

- Top class coaching from professional coaches
- Sports psychology for the young player
- Nutritional information for the young player
- Daily swimming pool recovery
- Daily video analysis
