What does the rugby experience look like on Sedbergh Courses?
Inspirational and fun coaches who are skilled and really care for your child’s development and progressions within the game. Lots of kind children that work hard and support each other. We work together on and off the pitch to individualise the experience as much as we can to explore the possibilities in your own personal growth.
Our intention is to allow your child a challenging and safe environment to:
- Develop Leadership skills like the All-Black legend Richie McCaw #GOLD
- Practice the Marcus Smith no look kick and pass
- Work on contact skills to be as effective as Ardie Savea and Ben Earl
- Become a triple threat attacker like Antoine Dupont – Run / Kick / Pass
- Tackle like the contact demon Tom Curry
- Have an opportunity to develop their lines of running and kicking skills like Beauden Barrett
Our mission is to develop and inspire every single child in our care whatever their ability and to provide an experience they never could have imagined.

How do I support the junior players of today prepare in an attempt to reach their own dreams?
Charlie Hodgson has had a glittering career in which he was described as one of the most gifted 'attacking' rugby players of all time.Graduating from Durham university, he soon made his professional debut for Sale Sharks in 2000 before going on to achieve many accolades in the game. Winning the Premiership with Sale Sharks was an early highlight before he embarked on a new challenge with Saracens where he added two more Premiership titles and a Heineken Cup. On his England debut, Charlie, contributed to an England victory with a record breaking 44-point haul before making 37 more appearances for his country. After dominant domestic and international performances Charlie was selected as part of the British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand in 2005.
