Our son attended the Midleton PSA Camp this summer and it was a fantastic experience for him in every way. I can't praise the organisers and coaches enough, their kindness and encouragement with the kids, and professionalism from beginning to end made it an unforgettable week. Looking forward to next year already.

My son just came back from Midleton/Kilkenny. Two weeks with great coaching, support network and a superb group of boys. Made some great friends, wonderful memories and is already counting down to next year. Thank you team!

My 15 year old has been raving about this for the last 12 hours since we picked him up. He loved every minute and looks much stronger than when we dropped him off.

Excellent communication, support and guidance along with skills training. From the food ro the extra curricular everyone was so helpful. My kids will def being going back

My 12 year old son loved it. Really well organised, lots of rugby and associated sessions. Made new friends, he’s exhausted after the week which is a great sign.he loved the meals. Highly recommend. Avoid the tuck shop prices though!

Our son David enjoyed the variety of activities during his residential week at Midleton College. He was really impressed by the high standards of coaching, having the opportunity to train with coaches from Argentina & South Africa. David learned so much during the week, from rugby skills to nutrition to teamwork. He is already looking forward to returning to the camp next Summer with more friends. Thank you all for looking after him so well & a special word of thanks to Francis.
Best wishes, Elaine Wilkinson

It’s the second year both my sons took part in the PSA Camp and it’s the gift the keeps on giving. Each day they came back wrecked but loved it!

Thanks to all the coaches…we’ll be back!

My son attended the residential summer camp in Middleton. He enjoyed it a lot, improved his rugby skills and met new friends. Fully recommend!

My son Conor attended his first PSA camp in Midleton, Co. Cork this week as a non residential for 4 days as a Mini (aged 10). What an incredible experience he had, it exceeded our expectations! The camp leaders and coaches were so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. A variety of coaches all experts in different areas of the game imparted their knowledge in engaging and fun ways. We are so impressed with how much Conor learnt and experienced including nutrition sessions making smoothies, sessions on eye tracking, swimming, skill sessions and so much more. Importantly, at the core of it all were the core values of rugby - respect, effort and fun. Conor made great friends and will certainly be back next year. Thank you to the leaders and coaches.

Shane attended the week in Midleton and had a fantastic experience. He really enjoyed the expert training he received from experienced international coaches as well as all the other activities provided that made the week so enjoyable. The camp was really well run and a special word must go to Francis who looked after them so well in the dorms. Shane will definitely return next year.

Really fantastic camp for my son (10). A great week of rugby, swimming, fun and comradery. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Our son really enjoyed his week in Roscrea. He was well looked after when he had a bit of a health issue and there were reassuring phone calls and texts from the coaches and pastoral staff.

He made lots of new friends and was particularly taken with the coaches. They gave him lots of routines to take home and continue to work on.

He wants to go back next year. Always a great sign.

It was my son's first year to attend. He hasn't stopped talking about it. The whole experience of going and staying there was amazing. He said the coaches and physio were top notch. The honesty from the coaches is what makes the difference. The food was great and there was plenty. It just didn't stop with the daily training, the evening activities were also great.
Part of that experience was meeting lads who were all there for the same experience. He made great friends who had respect for everyone.
He said if he had to choose between a sun holiday and there , it would be this camp ! Thanks to all for an amazing experience.

My son just attended the camp at Roscrea. It was a unique experience where he learned so much, met other kids, and improved his technique. He can't wait to come back next year! The kids are supported both on and off the camp in an inclusive and caring environment. I strongly recommend it.

My son Aaron spent the week in Roscrea (CCR) and has returned home a very tired but happy 14 year old ! He learned and developed skills, gained some independence and made new friends. The coaching, mentoring and genuine interest of the PSA staff was excellent. They bring in expert coaches for each discipline so the players really feel like their game is being improved. If you’d like a week for your child who loves rugby, to develop new friendships and learn to manage their time look no further !!! Plus …. They barely go near their phones 🙌 Thank you.

This is my son's 3rd consecutive year participating. Like most teens, 90% is showing up! The eye rolls to get him there - but the complete opposite on the drive home collecting him!

Every time gets better - 'the coaches are sound' (his words!) And the returning or 8 lads that he met last year were the icing on the cake!

Dan VanZyl is top notch - and I was a Division 1 athlete (way back in the day!) He has a great camp!

My son attended the residential camp in Roscrea and really enjoyed the week. It was his second time to attend a PSA camp. The experienced coaching team and staff took great care of the kids. Physio also present. A fabulous week of rugby including strength and conditioning and even a little time for swimming. Roscrea has excellent facilities in a safe and rural setting. He’s looking forward to attending again next year. Thank you to all the PSA team

My son Adam has just returned from a camp in Roscrea. He had an amazing time and made lots of new friends. He said the coaching was excellent and he learned a lot.

My son had a fantastic week in the PSA camp. The coaching was excellent. 3 hot meals a day. New skills developed & memories for life. Highly recommend.

My kids had an amazing time! I will say the girls seemed to be"hidden" and treated a little differently. Other than that, they had a great time!
