”Most important factor is that the boys loved it, sounds like they did something different everyday, very professionally run and lots of information to the parents. We will be back next year!!

”Great coaching - kept the boys engaged and enthusiastic all week. Fantastic communication both on the lead up to the course and throughout each day. If your child likes rugby, they'll love the PSA Academies courses. I have a tired but happy boy! Thank you so much.
Cat - Parent2020 PSA Rugby Academy East England
”I had 2 boys, aged 11 and 13, attend the East England Academy programme. They thoroughly enjoyed the week. It was fun but they also felt like they were treated like proper rugby players and the level of intensity and professional focus was just right. They learned a lot about the game and their skill-set improved a lot thanks to excellent coaching. They will definitely be attending another PSA Academies camp in the future.
Chris - Parent2020 PSA Rugby Academy East England
”What a fantastic camp. My son has given me the most amazing feedback about it. He absolutely loved it. It was technical, they were pushed and they had to work hard but he loved every minute of it. He’s already pestering me to sign him up to the next PSA Academies camp in 2021.
