Does your rugby league team need inspiration? Why not train with Catalan Dragons, the only non-British team in the Super League? This lovely area of southern France, on the border with Spain, is the best place to play rugby league in the Northern Hemisphere, outside the UK.

Not only will your team have the opportunity to train with the Catalan Dragons, they’ll also get to watch the pro’s in action. Away from the pitch, the Pyrenees offer a great range of exciting activities, including white water rafting, paddleboarding and canyoning.

You’ll stay in accommodation specifically designed for sports groups. The facilities here include pitches, a pool and a beach volleyball court – so your team will have plenty to keep them busy and active!
