CLIFTON COLLEGE BOYS - RUGBY COURSE FOR 8 - 16 YEAR OLDS
SUNDAY 7TH TO FRIDAY 12TH AUGUST 2011
Clifton College rugby has gone from strength to strength over recent years and it is now recognised as one of the strongest rugby playing schools in the South West. This residential / non-residential course will give you the opportunity to live like a professional player for a week and give yourself the ideal preparation for the 2010 -11 season.
The Course Director will be Chris Moxon, a former manager at Rugbyclass. Chris was Deputy Head and coach of the 1st XV at The Downs School near Bristol, one of the most successful rugby playing Prep Schools in the country. Prior to that he was a coach in the north of England where he helped to put several Internationals on the road to glory, including World Cup winners Ben Kay and Iain Balshaw. His latest prodigy to burst onto the International scene is Scotland and Northampton centre Joe Ansbro. Chris is now Headmaster of Magdalene House Preparatory School in Cambridgeshire, who have just enjoyed their first ever unbeaten season at Rugby. Chris will head up a team of top coaches, including those that deliver on the RFU EPD system, participants will be coached by those who know exactly what is required to make an impact on the rugby stage. Not only are individual and team skills sessions delivered but elements of nutrition, rehabilitation and fitness and covered to make for an interesting and exciting week. This successful course was introduced two years ago and will target the serious-minded young rugby player who aspires to play at the highest level he can. This course takes into account what is required both on and off the field of play and will have a series of optional evening clinics, practical & theoretical, covering a whole range of topics, which are designed to test and ask questions of your ability and rugby knowledge.
Also during this course there will be a visit from a current International player, who will lead a coaching session and conduct a 'Question and Answer' session. In 2009 we were honored to receive a visit from Bath & England hooker, Lee Mears.
The carefully prepared programme will focus on:
- Individual skills
- Team play
- Tactical understanding
- Advice on rugby fitness, psychology and nutrition
At Clifton College, we recognise as a priority our responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of all participants on this course. There will be a designated medical professional on hand at all times with responsibility for first aid and dealing with any injuries that may occur.
Players will also have the opportunity to relax in the wonderful surroundings of Clifton College and enjoy all the facilities the school has on offer, including a swimming pool, fully-equipped gym facility, and cyber café
