Last Thursday and Friday, 4th & 5th July saw the Orkney RFC Summer camp take place at Orkney rugby club. The training day was a great success seeing 50 Primary 1-3s and 15 Primary 4-7s turn up to take part.
Picture
The Primary 1-3s session took place in the morning from 10-12 and was held on the outfields behind the Pickaquoy centre. The two hour session consisted of various fun activities which all the players enjoyed, this included: a tag bulldogs station, a stadium ball station, agility and assault course station and a stuck in the mud station. Each station lasted about 12 minutes and had groups of between 15 and 17 on at a time, after all the stations had been completed the groups, who had been split into their years at school, played Tag Rugby games. All the players that took part in the camp had received Tag Rugby through their school so playing games allowed them to showcase their skills.

The Primary 4-7s session took part in the afternoon between 1-3 pm, There were 3 stations set up, each with a different activity related to different skills. The stations included: Stadium Ball, an assault and agility course and a hand catch and kicking exercise. Once these were done they moved onto full contact rugby games, each being 20 minutes. The contact games were played with boys and girls on each team, players from each side were split using different coloured bibs for each year they were in at school i.e. P4 in yellow, P5 in green and P6 in blue. Over all the day was highly enjoyed by all and great fun, Some player quotes were:

Conrad – “It’s been fun, but hard work!”

Shannon – “It’s been really good!”

Coach David Porteous added: “There is a real improvement in the players skills, they have a really good attitude and respect towards the game”

Bruce Ruthven Added: “We have had a good turnout for this year’s summer camp and the kids have given their all at every opportunity. Many thanks to the coaches for their time and efforts. We hope everyone has a good summer and we look forward to seeing everyone at the start of the season. Keep an eye on guestbook and the paper for details of next season."
