JUNIOR RUGBY CAMPS
Saracens Rugby Camps provide a unique experience for young people that they will never forget, an opportunity to learn new skills that not only benefit them on a rugby field but also develop them as a person, challenging them to set goals and giving them the ability to achieve them, improving their leadership and problem-solving, critical skills that will help them throughout their rugby careers and beyond.
Over the May Half Term, October Half Term, Summer and Christmas Holidays children can come and learn and develop their next RFU Age Grade Laws and Regulations with our qualified coaches who use up to date coaching techniques around adaptive games to ensure that you are ready for next season.
The program for our two day camps ensures progression over the two days that gives the opportunity for skills learnt and developed on day one to be enhanced on day two as well as advanced to make sure of variety and a clear differentiation between the two days.

TYPES OF CAMP
The cornerstone of many of Saracens recent successes have been around the first 8 names on the teamsheet.
A mix of power and finesse from the pack have provided the team with front foot ball for the backs to unleash. A Saracens Forwards Clinic will provide deeper knowledge in areas such as scrummaging, lineouts and contact areas of the game. If you want to carry like Billy Vunipola, jump like Maro Itoje, scrummage like Hannah Botterman or throw like Jamie George then this one day clinic is for you. Make sure you get booked onto this clinic with limited spaces to ensure greater coach to player time.
FUN-BASED UPSKILLING SESSIONS
Saracens Skills Camps are run over two full and exciting days for rugby players within U7 – U14 age groups. With the aim of improving the rugby specific skills as well as goal setting, decision making and leadership skills, coaches will tailor activities to the needs of individual players. Each day will follow a structured schedule of rugby activities with players enjoying access to several different coaches, but with plenty of time and focus on having fun and developing friendships. All provided in a safe and secure environment.
COME AND EXPERIENCE THE LIFE OF A PROFESSIONAL RUGBY PLAYER ON OUR RESIDENTIAL CAMP.
For two days and one night you will eat, sleep, train, recover and abide by the Core Values in the same way as the Saracens first team do daily.
Throughout your time with some of our top coaches you will work on differing skills that will make you a more rounded player and give you the ability to view the game from different perspectives on the pitch. You will develop skills in leadership, decision making and goal setting as well as creating a game plan that will suit the players around you.
FOCUS ON SPECIFIC SKILLS
The Foundations of some of Saracens’ most memorable victories over recent seasons has been built on the clubs kicking strategy and the ability of our players to execute that strategy. Saracens Kicking Clinics provide some insight into the finer nuances of one of modern rugby’s most important skills.
These one-day camps provide the opportunity to develop a range of kicking skills, including goal-kicking, touch-finders, cross-fields, up-and-unders, box kicking and more. If you want to goal-kick like Owen Farrell, kick the ball out of hand like Zoe Harrison or box kick like Aled Davies then get yourself booked on one of these clinics!
Girls’ rugby has become one of the fastest growing sports in England, with over 26,000 women and girls now playing in over 300 rugby clubs. At Saracens we are fortunate to be inspired by the most successful Women’s club team in the country and some of the world’s best Women’s rugby players.
Saracens Girls Rugby Camps are supported by Saracens Women as part of their quest to inspire more girls to pick up the rugby ball and enjoy this great game. Our camps will cater to all girls regardless of their experience or abilities – whether they are picking up a rugby ball for the very first time or looking to take their game to the next level. As well as focusing on developing the rugby specific skills that will help improve performance, these camps also explore the different journeys that female players might take to reach the heights of playing for Saracens in the future.
FOR BUDDING 9S AND 10S
Half Backs are specialist positions that have a strong influence on the performance of any team, which has certainly been the case at Saracens with the likes of Owen Farrell, Zoe Harrison, Aled Davies and before him Richard Wigglesworth.
Passing skills, kicking skills, decision making under pressure, communication and leadership skills are all required of the modern half back. The Saracens Half Back Clinics, run by specialist coaches, break down what it takes to be the most effective on-field general, whether you are an aspiring scrum-half or fly-half.
OVERVIEW
The Saracens Players Coaching Event is Saracens’ most immersive coaching experience. The programme, following on from the mens event which is now in its eighth season, will look to provide a similar experience in this first event of its kind for the Womens Team at the club.
Saracens profile players are able to attend these evenings to pass on their expert coaching tips to young players across the community. The Saracens players will instil some of the values that drive them, urging young talent to work hard; play with honesty, humility and discipline whilst working together as a team.
Each child will receive their very own limited edition t-shirt to train in and the evening will conclude with an opportunity to collect autographs plus have photos taken with some of the biggest names in the Gallagher Premiership, most of whom are often unable to attend our traditional rugby camps programme.
Players to be confirmed
*Selected players may be subject to change due to injury, illness or other rugby commitments.
On the 17th April and the 8th May we are offering all community coaches to come and experience and learn from the Saracens Academy Coaches at their masterclasses. The evenings will be full of learning and information for all coaches that are working in clubs and schools.

RUGBY CAMP FAQS
Our clinics aim to cover as wide a variety of skills as possible, whilst still allowing time to go into sufficient detail. Camps lasting multiple days will inevitably allow for greater depth, but single day camps still aim to provide a good variety. Participants can expect to cover catch & pass skills, tackling and contact techniques, go-forward & support in attack, defensive connectivity and more.
Yes they are however the first day’s activities are quickly re-capped on day 2 so anyone not attending on day 1 can quickly get up to speed before the activities are progressed.
All camps need to be booked by the day – if you would like to attend for both days then please add both days to your basket.
The majority of our camps are open to both boys and girls in the under-7 to under-12 age grades and boys only U13 to U15. Some specialist clinics extend to under-18. We do run separate camps for girls from U11’s – U18’s. If you are unsure which age grade your child is in, remember that your child will be two different ages in one school year (9 turning 10 in Year 5 for example). They are “under” whichever the biggest number (under-10). Easy!
The age grades for our rugby camps change as of the start of the Summer Holidays - therefore summer camps (except for the Harrow Residential) fall into the next season/school year.
No. We encourage players from surrounding clubs and schools to attend camps at other Partner Clubs as well as their own to develop their skills with – and against – players that they don’t usually encounter at their regular club or school sessions.
Absolutely. The majority of our camp participants play regularly, but our experienced coaching staff are aware that we cannot account for ability or experience of each group until they have been observed on the day. Less experienced players will be offered more support where needed; and more experienced players will be appropriately challenged.
No – packed lunch, snacks and drinks will need to be brought with you. Please bring water in a clearly named Plastic Water bottle.
Yes you can however some networks are not compatible with our Sales Platform and we advise making bookings for camps using a PC, Laptop or Mac. The Participant Emergency Contact page often fails on a phone devices.
If a Participant withdraws after booking onto a course, Saracens reserves the right to withhold the full course fee. Any participant withdrawal made prior to 2 weeks before the start date of the event will have the option to a credit for use on a similar camp (subject to a price alteration – No refund will be made on a cheaper course). Any withdrawals made within the 2 weeks before the start date of the camp will not be refunded and there will not be an option to a credit for any reason.
Should the camp not go ahead and be cancelled by the organisation, then all participants will be refunded the monies paid within 30 days of the cancelled event.
