Did you know that over 20 of the players on the Irish International team are from Leinster? Ireland are ranked 2nd on the International Rugby rankings.

The  Leinster School of Excellence has been around for 24 years and is one of the most successful rugby camps in Ireland which is aimed to develop players and fine-tune their skills. The content of the camp has been developed with the game in recent years and as a result has become the highlight of the summer calendar for many players. 

Its aim is to provide players from 12-17 years old (girls and boys) with a comprehensive rugby package which allows them to experience the life of a professional rugby player. Players attending can learn to play the Leinster way as they will gain a greater understanding of the game and learn about values such as teamwork, commitment, integrity and communication.

Players should expect to partake in a structured rugby development programme and emphasis will be placed on skill development, game understanding, activity and enjoyment. In particular, players will develop core rugby skills and learn to perform them under challenging conditions through high-class coaching in a professional environment. Positional clinics, video analysis, nutritional information and mental preparation are all key ingredients in the SOE programme.

The programme has grown year on year and we have  over 1,200 players, girls and boys, taking part. Quite simply, if you are a rugby player (male or female) aged 12-17 then this camp is for you.
