Following the success of our Easter Performance Sports Camp where we welcomed over 100 children to our school in Dorset, we are delighted to announce an expanded programme of performance sports camps for summer 2024, featuring six individual sports and a multi-sport option.
Summer sports camps (29-31 July 2024)
Our non-residential sports camps for children aged 9-15 (in school years 5-10) offer high quality coaching within our amazing sports centre facilities and grounds, as well as an insight into our performance sports programmes. They will be run by lead Bryanston Sports staff as per below.
Rugby Sevens
Nick Williams - Head of Rugby
Official educational partner of Great Britain Rugby Sevens (GB7s), Bryanston School, is proud to announce the launch of a new grassroots programme with a flexible 3-day event on 29, 30 and 31 July 2024.
The programme will include physical and technical training delivery and support for boys from U10, U11, U12, U13, U14 and U15.
As the GB7s squads prepare to be part of Team GB for the Paris Olympic Games, we are looking to talent ID and develop the athletes of the future. Who will represent GB7s in Los Angeles in 2028 and Brisbane 2032?
Your son will take part in a professional style training programme designed and delivered by Bryanston's Head of Rugby, Nick Williams, with support from Great Britain Rugby Sevens players and staff and Ultimate Rugby Sevens (UR7s), the UK’s most advanced annual rugby sevens programme for U14-U18s.
Furthermore, there is a possibility your son could be invited to join the UR7s Academy programme, beginning with their summer residential, which is also being held at Bryanston School in August 2024.
