"Kilkenny July 2021"

Eoin, 11, just had a fantastic week in Kilkenny at the PSA Academy. The training was very enjoyable and the coaches, along with being good at their job, were great fun. Eoin really enjoyed the experience of staying away from home with his peers and the food was excellent. This camp will most definitely be an annual event.

"My 10 year old son is just back from…"

My 10 year old son is just back from PSA Residential camp in Kilkenny. He is full of stories and excitement from his week away and stories about his many new friends from all parts of the country. He had great fun with the coaches and loved the packed program of activities. We highly recommend PSA and we will be back again!!

"Magnificent camp"

My 11 year old son is just back from his first residential camp full of positive stories.He loved all the coaches who were excellent, learnt new rugby skills and made new friends. He had a wonderful first experience of being away from home enjoying all facilities and said the food was really good .Thanks to all involved for all the hard work put in.We look forward to the next one and highly recommend PSA academies .

"Comments from a 11 & 13 year old…"

Both of my sons 11 and 13 said they would love to return. They both thought the training coaches were down to earth, realistic, great craic but most importantly FAIR (vital with kids). The skills and activities they loved with the addition of making new friends from across Ireland. Brilliant.

"PSA passion"

This I believe was my son’s 4th year attending the PSA camp, he has attended both residential & non residential both excellent experiences, he had attended other rugby camps but they do not compare in his mind to the PSA. I would highly recommend the PSA camp for Boys & Girls as a club youths coach I see the standard of coaching at the PSA is excellent. They are passionate about what they do and it’s shows. Again well done PSA team

"Would highly recommend PSA Academy"

Would highly recommend PSA Academy. It was run to a very high standard, with excellent staff. My daughter learned so much & enjoyed every minute of the camp.

"Very impressive rugby camp"

This camp is a must for young players who want to develop their rugby skills and learn about player welfare.
My son really enjoyed the coaching and feels his game will improve as a result.
The core rugby values such as respect are very evident throughout.
Communication with PSA was excellent prior and during the course.
I don’t think they could have done anymore in ensuring a Covid safe environment.

I would definitely recommend this camp.

"PSA Academy Cork"

This was my son Rohan’s second year doing the PSA camp. He has grown as a player and a person as a result of his experiences in these camps. The planning and thought that has gone into the design and implementation of this camp is in a league of its own. It is player centred and builds such positive attitudes to being the best that each individual can be. A holistic approach that builds on the players skill set but also their confidence and self esteem. Would not hesitate to recommend this to all parents.
Well done Guys, you really make a difference.
Thank you.

"So impressed we've booked again!"

My son (14) did the Castleknock camp in August 2020 and enjoyed every minute of it. It's a challenging programme and he got a lot out of it. There's a keen focus on detailed individual development feedback on core playing skills as well as leadership values around teamwork etc. In addition the online programmes which covered mental health, injury prevention, sports nutrition really encouraged player awareness and ownership of their broader development in a way that was very accessible way for teens. Very impressed - we've booked in again this summer with a growing number of pals coming! Also, hands down the best C-19 safety protocols I've seen at kids sports training over the past 12 months.

"Brilliant and useful experience"

My son attended the Dublin camp and he absolutely loved every moment of it. He had great fun throughout all of it while he was learning and try to improve his skills as they were explained to the group.
The testing and feedback given with video analysis on it is incredibly useful.
The webinars also were well targeted for the age group and interesting with very engaging speakers.

As a parent I think the the camp very well organized and planned, and given we are in Covid year I felt the safety of the kids was managed and ensured to a very high standard.

I have no doubts we will be back next year, and I can't recommend this experience more.
