A week-long Tigers Rugby Course based at the rugby club, next to Harborough Leisure Centre in Northampton Road, provides the perfect opportunity to improve skills and game-play in the company of the Tigers coaching team in time for the kick-off to the 2012/13 season for players in the under-9 to under-16 age-groups.
Also, Tigers will also host a Tag coaching event on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings next week for the under-7 and under-8 age-groups.
The Harborough area has been represented by a string of players in the Tigers first-team over the years, including legendary captain Martin Johnson and current England international Dan Cole who played his early rugby at school in the town.
A Tigers Rugby Course could provide a first step for another generation of future Tigers stars to emerge.
Scott Clarke, Tigers community manager, said: "The Harborough area provides massive levels of support for Leicester Tigers and it is a great rugby area in terms of young players.
“Our coaches are really looking forward to the Tigers Rugby Course week and we’re hoping to see a member of the first-team squad pop in for a question-and-answer session during the week too.”
You can expect the following on a typical Tigers Rugby Course:
• Coaching from Tigers top qualified coaches from 9.30am to 3.30pm each day.
• Hot lunch and drinks
• A free junior ticket to an allocated Leicester Tigers match in the new season.
• Tigers Rugby Course T-shirt, ball and drinks bottle
• Full-time first aider at all courses

Tigers Rugby Courses are supported by energy efficiency specialists Mark Group and are the only courses run by and endorsed by Leicester Tigers.
