Here’s what our Half Term Camp Families have to say

"Jeremey had a fantastic time last week – learned loads and really enjoyed the atmosphere - the coaches and the boys were very welcoming. He said he learned more from the one to one time he had on tackling with John Hardie than any other session he’s ever had."

— Jeremey, S2 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
" My 11 year old son has been to Accelerate rugby camp a few times and always really enjoyed it. His skills and gameplay have flourished each time. High calibre, but also very friendly coaches, and an inclusive environment."

— Katy, P7 Parent
