All venues are  hosting the three-day courses launched in a joint initiative between the Rugby Football Union and the World Cup winning England captain.

Martin Johnson’s Rugby Camps aim to teach both boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 18 what it takes to be a winner, and give them the tools to build a lifetime of success in the game.

“They’ll be enjoyable, good fun and a chance to learn a massive amount about the game,” said Johnson.

“I’ll be there, England international players will be there, and so will the RFU staff coaches. Whatever age you are I hope people can learn a lot from them.”

The training includes warm-up, conditioning and nutritional sessions; handling and running skills; individual clinics on positional skills, specialised work on scrums, lineouts, restarts, kicking and counter-attacking, and conditioned games.

The itinerary is designed by leading rugby development officers and the RFU coaching team to ensure each child is steered through the three-day course with the opportunity to thrive and develop a broad range of skills – both physical and mental – which they can use on and off the pitch.

Coaching staff & international players

At the heart of the Martin Johnson Rugby Camps lies a hand-picked team of gifted RFU coaches. Each mentor is a leading exponent of his craft and as well as his own extensive experience, each has the most advanced coaching techniques and safety procedures at his disposal. This ensures the participants learn appropriate skills in a fun, and most importantly, secure environment.

Martin Johnson and a clutch of his international team-mates will attend each of the Rugby Camps. As well as assisting with the coaching programme, they offer more than just a glimpse to every participant of what it takes to be a World Cup hero.
