CENTRA LEINSTER RUGBY SUMMER
CAMPS OFFICIALLY KICK OFF!
Rugby Stars of the Future Encouraged to Register for Action
Packed Summer Rugby Camps!
23rd March 2009: Registrations for the 2009 Centra sponsored
rugby camps kicked off in style today with Leinster and
Ireland star Luke Fitzgerald lining out to announce details
of the camps. The camps are aimed at budding rugby stars
aged from six to twelve years of age and will run throughout
July and August in a range of venues throughout Leinster,
Munster and Connacht.
This is the second year of Centra’s sponsorship of
the camps which are aimed at giving rugby enthusiasts a
week long action-packed rugby experience. Not only are the
camps a great way for kids to get out and about during the
summer, they can also improve their rugby skills and techniques
as they are coached by a panel of experts who are all qualified
at mini rugby level under the IRFU Coach Development Pathway.
All activities at the camp are child-centred and encourage
the development of young players through playing and fun
activities and will help keep kids fit and healthy during
their school holidays.
A highlight of the camps will be the opportunity for participants
to meet their rugby heroes, as members of the Leinster,
Munster and Connacht rugby squad are due to appear at the
camps in their province during the course of the week. All
those who register for the camp will receive an official
Leinster summer rugby camp pack containing Canterbury shorts,
Canterbury summer camp T-shirt, Canterbury socks, rugby
ball and a gym sack.
Speaking at the launch Des O’Mahony, Brand Communications
Manager Centra, said: “Centra are once again delighted
to sponsor the rugby summer camps in Leinster, Munster and
Connacht. Rugby is a hugely popular sport in Ireland and
even more so after Ireland’s historic Grand Slam win
and Centra is proud to give the budding stars of the future
a chance to learn from the best and have a bit of fun at
the same time. Camps will run throughout the three provinces
and we would encourage early registration to ensure your
place is secured”.
