Warriors offer up unique rugby camp programme for youngsters

The Young Warriors Camp, which runs from Wednesday April 8 until Friday April 10, is open to P1-U15 players and provides future stars with the opportunity to meet Glasgow Warriors players and develop their rugby skills under expert guidance.

Over a three-day period, from 9am until 1pm at Lochinch Playing Fields in Glasgow's Pollok Park, participants will be coached in decision making and problem solving through fun game-based sessions.

The £90 package includes the opportunity to meet and join in fun activities with Glasgow Warriors players, a Glasgow Warriors kit pack, coaching from qualified, disclosure-checked coaches, water and snacks during break periods and an individual action plan.

There is also a two-day Train like a Warrior Camp, specifically for U16 to U18 age groups, on Thursday April 16 and Friday April 17 at Scotstoun Stadium between 10am-3pm.

It provides aspiring young rugby players with the opportunity to experience two days in the life of a Glasgow Warrior.

The £75 package includes full access to the training facilities at Scotstoun Stadium, a Glasgow Warriors kit pack and coaching from qualified, disclosure-checked coaches.

The sessions will focus on game and positional skills, strength and conditioning and video analysis, while lunch will be provided on both days.

It is the ideal chance to rub shoulders with the Warriors as they go about their day-to-day routines and McKinstray admits it's the chance of a lifetime.

He said: "We're delighted to announce our next group of kids camps, which will be held during the Easter holidays.

"This is a great opportunity for kids to get expert coaching from the club's community rugby team and have a lot of fun, while also getting the chance to meet some Warriors players."
