A summer of Leicester Tigers Rugby Camps kicked-off today (Monday) at Syston RFC.

Young players are being put through their paces by Tigers coaches, led by former captain and coach Ian ‘Dosser’ Smith. Academy graduates Joe Cain and Scott Steele set to drop in for a Q&A during the week.

It is the first of 27 Rugby Camps across the Tigers region during the school summer holidays and places are still available. Players are urged to book now to avoid disappointment.

Tigers will be at Nottingham’s Trent College and Jersey RFC next week.

Supported by energy efficiency experts Mark Group, Tigers Rugby Camps give players who are playing contact rugby in next seasons 2013/14 under-9s to under-16s age groups the chance to experience top-quality rugby coaching in a professional environment.

There is also a series of tag rugby courses for under-sevens and under-eights players.

All coaching is provided by our Tigers community coaching team alongside some of Tigers top senior academy coaches and players past and present, including former Tigers captain and coach Ian 'Dosser' Smith, ex hooker Troy Thacker and two-time Heineken Cup winner Glenn Gelderbloom. They will be passing on some of the tips that have taken Tigers to a record tenth English title this season.

The courses run closely to the Tigers Academy and youth rugby programme. Each player will also receive a match ticket to an allocated home game, a hot lunch (except Melbourne RFC) a Tigers Rugby Camp T-shirt, rugby ball and drinks bottle and free membership to the Junior Tigers Club.
