Hipkiss and Tigers teammate Ben Woods are due to visit the course at Ratcliffe College, which runs next week from July 19 to July 23.
Hipkiss and Woods are due to take part in a question and answer session and to pass on tips to the young players taking part in the camp. There is still time to book your place.
Matt Williams, Tigers senior rugby development officer, said: “There is a lot of demand on players’ time, particularly during the busy pre-season period, so it is great when they can drop in and pass on tips to the next generation of players.”
Tigers’ summer programme of rugby courses kicks off at Ratcliffe College and there are further camps in Leicestershire at Oakham School (July 26-30), Coalville and Lutterworth rugby clubs (both August 9-13).
Further afield, Tigers will run a first ever course at Market Rasen and Louth RFC from August 16-20. There will also be camps at Stafford, Derby, Leamington, Swaffham, Burton, Sleaford and North Walsham rugby clubs and Stamford School.
The courses are supported by energy efficiency specialists Mark Group. They are aimed at players involved in contact rugby from under-nines through to under-16s. Everyone who attends will receive a free ticket to a first-team game at Welford Road, as well as a Tigers Rugby Course T-shirt, rugby ball and drinks bottle, plus a hot, healthy lunch each day and a personal assessment and feedback form.
Williams added: "Demand for the courses is high and several are already close to being sold out.”
Bill Rumble, Mark Group commercial director, said: "Rugby is a sport which can engage the whole family. By supporting the community programme, we are encouraging more and more children to get active and get excited about the game."
