Northampton Saints half-term camps: Additional information
Children aged 6-16 will get the chance to get a feel for what it is like to be part of a Gallagher Premiership club.
Inspired by Saints’ desire to encourage and develop young talent, our coaches have developed a suitable programme to continually challenge young people and give them a worthwhile rugby experience.
Children will get the chance to develop their understanding of the game through a variety of activities and game situations, focusing on body management, tackle technique (U9+), fundamentals of rugby (including catch/pass, agility and kicking), decision-making in attack, go forward, defensive resilience, and creative play.
Training is structured into two sessions throughout the day with specific outcomes agreed by coaches. Lunch will run from 12:00-1:15pm and will include a lunchtime activity. Saints Community strive to help all participants reach their full potential, no matter if they have played rugby before or not.
