'BE YOUR BEST' RESIDENTIAL ACADEMY AT BARNARD CASTLE SCHOOL
MONDAY 11TH - FRIDAY 15TH AUGUST 2008

The three biggest rugby powers in the North come to give you the best rugby experience of the year!  Premiership Rugby Academy Camps are where you can be your best by learning from the best.  How to kick like Jonny Wilkinson.  How to beat a man like Tom Biggs.  And how to tackle like Sebastien Chabal.  Once again, we're combining the resources of Leeds Carnegie, Newcastle Falcons & Sale Sharks for an unforgettable rugby experience.  You'll have access to the players, coaches and top facilities for a real rugby master class.  No rugby player can afford to miss it.
This course is designed by Premiership Coaches for young players with serious rugby ambitions!  You will learn all the latest techniques and skills from the very cutting edge of the game.  As well as 20 hours of top quality rugby coaching, there will be over 12 hours of unique extra activities provided by the Army.  Many of these will be aimed at increasing team and leadership skills.
This is a 5 day intensive programme aimed at developing good rugby players in to elite performers.  It is therefore expected that players arrive on the course possessing high levels of fitness and skills.
