Easter Rugby Camp<\/b><\/p>\n

We are excited to be launching our Rugby All-Stars Camps at Abingdon School, delivered by current professional rugby players and experienced coaches. The camp will cater for a wide range of ages and abilities, with groups split into 6\u201310 years old and 11\u201316 years old. This allows us to deliver two slightly different experiences within the same camp environment.
