Here’s what our Easter Camp Families have to say

"My boys have attended Accelerate camps multiple times over the past years. They ask to go to every school holiday and never want to miss it. Duncan is fantastic, communicates amazingly with parents and children and ensures fabulous and talented coaches (including himself) are there to coach every week. The boys always come home exhausted and with better skills after a fun rugby week."

— Lyndsay, S2 & S3 Parent
"My 11 year old son has been attending Accelerate camps for a couple of years now and absolutely loves them. The standard of coaching is excellent, bringing a great combination of skill, knowledge and fun. Couldn't recommend them any more highly."

— Ben, P7 Parent
"My youngest son adores rugby but has never really had huge confidence in his own ability on or off the field. The coaches at the Accelerate camps are all brilliant at encouraging the players and getting everyone involved. He has done several camps and I see his self-confidence and skills growing considerably each time. He even travels from Glasgow without any of his friends. Highly recommend to all young players!"

— Amy, S2 Parent
