We recognise as a priority, our responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of all participants in the Rugby Academy.

Due to the age range and mixed ability at the Rugby Camps, it will be necessary to divide the participants by age, ability and size. This division aims to ensure that situations do not arise where participants are mismatched physically.

There will be on site first aid but all participants are required to have their own medical insurance.
