"The experience I saw “my” players having today was exceptional! I came home with a smile on my face a mile wide! Coaching how it should be done, players engaged and smiling, not a raised voice but a culture of fun to get the best from the guys! The fact that every child had a voice and a valid opinion is testament to the mutual respect from players and coaches. Players were encouraged to have input whilst the coaches encouraged even the meekest to pipe up with their thoughts. A fabulous example of youth coaching from the very top draw. Your team is of the highest caliber and I think it was a privilege for Bowdon to host you."

"My son thoroughly enjoyed his two days with you, he has been to many rugby camps in the past but said that this one was the best by far! He loved all the different activities and games and thought the coaches were brilliant. He said that his legs need a rest today but that he'd do the camp all over again tomorrow if he could, he had such a fantastic time."
