At Northampton Saints, we aim to nurture and encourage young talent. Kids loving rugby is what inspires us, and through our Rugby Camps programmes we:

CHALLENGE young people to set lofty goals and build up their skills to achieve them.
PROVIDE an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
HELP young people to develop skills on and off the pitch.
IMPROVE critical skills, such as leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Northampton Saints 3-day Rugby Camp is split into 3 sections: TAG Rugby (Under 6’s – Under 8’s), Rugby Development (Under 9’s – Under 12’s) and Rugby Athlete Development (Under 13’s – Under 16’s). Each area of the camp is tailored to encourage development through each of the phases.

The course content for younger age groups focuses on the fundamental parts of the game. Sessions will be directed towards the adapted needs of the players, covering a number of themes from progressive movement and evasion skills in both attack and defence, essential ball handling / catch & pass, and age-appropriate contact training including tackling and rucking practice, to prepare them for safe and confident approaches to contact as they progress through the pathway.

The course content for the older development years has been designed specifically to focus on the more detailed parts of the game. Players will be challenged in a high-intensity and competitive learning environment, covering several themes including the development of fundamental skills under pressure and age-appropriate contact training. A portion of the camp will also focus on strength & conditioning, educating the players in appropriate warm-up activation, and fundamental movement patterns, which are essential for them to learn as they mature and become subject to higher training intensities.

Throughout the duration of the camp our coaches will deliver the same coaching principles that are adopted by the Saints Senior Squad and throughout the Saints Academy, whilst reinforcing our SPIRIT core values; Sportsmanship, Pride, Integrity, Respect, Innovation & Teamwork.
