Breakers Rugby Camp 2024
The Breakers Rugby Camp of 2024 was a success! Over 35 players registered for a great day of rugby.
We'll certainly have another camp in 2025, but if you're interested in playing don't wait until then. You can reach us on social media (below) or by submitting the Play Rugby form.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the 2024 Breakers Rugby Camp. Hope to see you all again next year!
WHO WILL BE THERE
Anyone interested in playing rugby is welcome to register for our camp. The primary goal is to give new players a way to learn rugby and start playing with a local team. Existing players will be present to get some training in, but also available to answer any questions and show new players how things are done.
WHAT'S THE PLAN
Players will go through a series of training sessions prepared by one of the most respected coaches in the EPRU and Mid-Atlantic conference. We'll cap it off at a local pub down the road where we'll eat some food, socialize and exaggerate just how well we played.
Rugby 101
We'll start camp by going over the core components of rugby. Passing, tackling, kicking and simple plays will make sure that new players know the basics.
Offensive & Defensive Game Play
Players will build on the basics of rugby by using them in offensive and defensive game play. Players will be shown how to move the ball forward on offense as well as the best way to defend against it.
Scrimmaging & Open Play
Now that players have a good understanding of how rugby is played it's time to actually play! Well, maybe not an actual match, but we'll start using everything we've learned so far in open play.
Complimentary Food & Beverages
After a long training camp all registered players are welcome to join us at the Anthracite Cafe for some grub. Not only is it crucial that we replenish our energy after a long day on the pitch, but the social side of rugby is where we get to know each other and make life-long friends.
WHEN IS IT
The camp runs from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. Afterwards we'll head down the road for complimentary food and beverages until 4:00 pm.
Camp: 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Social: 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm
WHERE IS IT
Camp will be held at "The Bog" located at 65 Dewey Lane, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18705. After camp we'll head down the road to Anthracite Cafe where complimentary food and beverages will be available for all registered players.
