Looking for a new way to fire up your team? Why not develop their skills with professional coaching? On your school rugby tour to Wales, you’ll train with youth coaches from Pro 14 sides Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Dragons or Scarlets.
Further inspiration for your team could come in the form of tickets to see a professional match. In addition, your students could escort the team onto the pitch as flagbearers, before taking a lap of honour at half time.
After this experience, your team will have improved their technical rugby. Their brush with the life of a professional rugby player will also inspire them, leaving them ready for the challenges ahead.
