U15 Tour Devon '23

Weekend of 31st March - 2nd April. Okehampton

Going on Rugby tour is a fantastic way to build team spirit, morale and identity. It provides an opportunity for players and coaches to get to know each other a little bit better and build teamwork both on and off the pitch. Tours often provide memories and friendships that will last a lifetime; the camaraderie and banter can be second to none!

We would like as many of the boys as possible to be involved.

FAQs

Does my son have to be accompanied on tour?

We need to have a reasonable ratio of players / adults; however you can ask another adult to act 'in loco parentis' - any of the lads on tour without parents will be well looked after.

When do we need to pay?

We have already paid a deposit to the YHA. A payment is due before the end of November to confirm a place on tour. Payment can be made in full or in 5 equal installments (5 x £35 for players or 5 x £22 for adults)

How do we get there?

We have decided not to arrange coach transfer on this occasion. There will be plenty of drivers heading down after school on the Friday night and we can arrange lift sharing nearer the time.

Can Mums come?

Due to the dormitory accommodation, the venue can only accommodate single sex groups. In the event of 6 or more parents being female then a dedicated dormitory may be possible, but we cannot confirm this until indicative numbers have been established.

What does Todd say about touring?

A few years ago, Todd Blackadder (former All Blacks captain and DoR at Bath) was good enough to give the boys some touring advice! Here is what he said.
