HIGH PERFORMANCE RUGBY CAMPS

Do you need to progress and improve your game? Each programme in our high performance and high level summer rugby camps is designed to cover the technical, tactical, mental and physical skills that are essential for you to reach your full potential as a rugby player. Focused on position-specific workshops, building up skills, mental strength, the ability to read the game and self-management, our training camps are designed to improve player performance both on and off the field. Our training camps are fully immersive, which means that participants stay together on site for the duration of the camp in a 100% rugby-dedicated environment.

The AIR Top Coaches are selected from among elite current and former rugby players, giving participants the opportunity to learn directly from the most talented people in the rugby world. The programmes offered below may be modified according to the different levels of the students at the “Académie Internationale de Rugby” (AIR). The aim is to enable students to benefit from training sessions similar to those of professional players. The AIR students train like pros, with pros! So don’t hesitate, sign up for the upcoming high performance summer rugby camps at the Académie Internationale de Rugby (AIR).
