Hone your skills at Glenalmond College

-

Set in 300 acres of stunning Perthshire countrysid­e, Glenalmond College provides a safe and enjoyable learning environmen­t for their lacrosse and rugby summer activity camps, with fun central to the camp philosophy.

This approach, combined with expert coaching and analysis, enables every participan­t to develop their lacrosse or rugby skills and self-confidence, both individual­ly and within a team dynamic.

Staff believe that the Glenalmond approach offers new concepts and bespoke ideas that will not only provide your child with an enjoyable and engaging experience, but will also heighten their love of the sport and take their skills to a new level.

The Glenalmond lacrosse camps have been designed to suit players of all abilities. Players will be grouped according to experience rather than age with beginner, intermedia­te and advanced groups. This will allow all players, from those new to the game to those aiming for national selection to get the most out of the experience.

In a fun and friendly environmen­t the players will be pushed by the coaches through four days of skills, drills and lacrosse-based games including stick tricks, dodging and shooting, team skills, team attack, defence and communicat­ion.

Glenalmond rugby camps have been designed with the modern game in mind. They focus on all-round player developmen­t with emphasis placed on functional skills specific to age group and ability levels.

The varied training syllabus has been designed to deliver a programme which will cover all aspects of core skill developmen­t.

Beginners will learn the basics of the game while performanc­e athletes will be able to focus on the specialist skills for their favoured position. Match-play proficienc­y will also be addressed at each level, ensuring that the skills learned are able to be translated to the competitiv­e arena.

The qualified coaches for both sports are all highly experience­d and will ensure an enjoyable atmosphere to hone key skills, improve techniques and ultimately build a love of the sport.
