UK Summer Schools was formed by a number of past international sportsmen and coaches to provide indepth knowledge of the sport of rugby to the next generation of players and coaches. Rugby is recognised as the fastest growing sport in the world, played by men, women and children in over 100 countries. With rugbys introduction into the 2016 Olympic Games its growth and popularity will no doubt accelerate.

Pillar 2: Rugby Coaching

The essence of the rugby coaching program is the development of each individual student and the progression of their rugby skills. Male or female players, scrum half, prop or wing, will come under the tutelage of some of the best coaches in the world, position for position. The delivery of the program will be on a tutorial basis. Individual positional skills will be developed into unit skills e.g. front row, back row, half-backs. These unit skills will then be developed into the structural techniques of scrummaging, line out, rucks and mauls, attacking play, strategic positional play, defensive strategies and alignments. The generic skills of passing, kicking, tackling and running lines will be addressed in each session in a wide variety of ways by each individual coach. There will be the development of full contact games by the end of the course in Sevens, Union and League rugby. These games will be intra-mural initially but will evolve into games with and against rugby clubs in the local Rugby and Coventry communities. There will be short seminars and presentations on such topics as the history of rugby in all its forms, the cultural background to the development of the game in communities, nations and continents throughout the world and an analysis of rugbys rapid growth in recent years. Unique to this course, several members of the England Womens team and squad under the leadership of Heather Fisher will work as coaches, mentors, training partners and sometimes, dorm moms.

Barry Honan Former Australian center, producer of groundbreaking innovations in computer analysis of performance and game patterns. Nigel Horton Former England and British Lions second row, one of the worlds great scrum coaches. Laura Keates Front row in the current England Womens squad. Mark Nelson Former Sale Sharks coach and now coach at Fylde.
Rob Purdham

Rob Purdham Captain of England Rugby League. Captain of Harlequins Rugby League. Matt Ryan Former Australia and Queensland prop, Matt has coached the Singapore, Indian and Malaysian national teams. Emily Scarratt Youngest ever Womens International, Iconic England Center. Geoff Stalker Former Rugby Lions, Birmingham/Solihull and Minnesota coach.
